Darynda Jones Hi Kim!!! I've had a few people ask and I never say never! It's not in the plans at this moment, but so many people are asking, I am seriously considering it. LOL. Thank you!
Darynda Jones Thank you, Monica! Working on it now! I had to go back and reread the whole series. I forgot everything! Chemo brain. But so far so good!

XOXOX!

Darynda Jones Hi Coral! I actually have a kickstarter going right now for the Beep & Osh Trilogy, but they will be out later this year. The KS if for the limited collector's edition hardcovers (with really cool covers), but everything else will be available at various retailers.

Thanks so much!
Darynda Jones Mary thank you so much! I am doing better and am writing again. Soooo, The Monster is the ONLY story I ended up disliking. I think it just went in the wrong direction in part 5 and I just need to go back, throw that out, and start again. I absolutely love the opening. Like it's one of my all-time favs. But then it got too... IDK... High School Musical? LOL. I promise I will finish it. I will put that on my to-do list this year.

Thank you again, love.
Darynda Jones LOL because she was preggers and I wanted to skip to that point. It's funny because even with that almost 8 month time jump, all 13 books still only span one year in Charley's life. I had no idea until I researched it later.
Darynda Jones Thanks, Sarah! There will be 10 total. I had some health issues arise, but I'm doing much better and will hopefully have book five out in three or four months. Thanks again! Hope you like Charley and the gang!
Darynda Jones wow thanks, Lana! I just had a novella come out from 1001 Dark Nights called Graveyard Dog, And right now I'm working on the first in a new trilogy from St. Martin's called Rumor and Innuendo as well as the next Betwixt and then the Beep and Osh trilogy. All of that should be next year. Well, not Rumor just yet.
Darynda Jones Hi Michelle! Not at the moment, but you never know. I always leave things open.
Darynda Jones I am!!! I am so behind. I've been dealing with health stuff but I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for writing! I hope to have a new Betwixt out early 2025.
Darynda Jones Thank you so much, Liaju! They do not take place in the same world. At first, I thought I might make it the same world, but there are a couple of conflicts with the world building, so I changed my mind.

Thanks again! So glad you are enjoying!
Darynda Jones Oh my gosh! I had no idea they'd taken them off! I'm sorry. I have nothing to do with that but I will try to get some info from my publisher.
Darynda Jones Hi! And thank you!!! I'm doing well. Just slogging through the chemo and radiation. LOL I'm not sure which series you are referencing, but I'm hoping to have a new Betwixt book out early next year. I'm also working on the Beep and Osh trilogy and a new small-town romantic mystery trilogy.
Darynda Jones Hi, Jasmine! Thank you so so much! Actually, Sunshine is just a trilogy, so no more planned at this time. I'm working on a new series that is similar in some ways (small-town romantic mystery). I fell in love with the genre!
Darynda Jones I absolutely will. I'm going to be doing a kickstarter type thing to get the ball rolling on it. No more excuses. They will be out next year.
Darynda Jones Hi and thank you!!! I am going to be doing a kickstarter type campaign to get me on this. No more excuses. I'll announce everywhere once that is up and running. They will be out next year.

Darynda Jones Ha! Well, one would think! I actually did not. Not really. I had a very vague idea but it never came to fruition on the page, so I'm hesitant to say anything. It's been so long since I wrote that, I can't remember any specifics, if I even had any!
Darynda Jones Hi Brandi! Yes there will be. I've been dealing with medical stuff but am slowly getting back into writing. I don't have an ETA yet, but hopefully soon.
Darynda Jones Hi! Still working on book 5. I have had medical things but I'm getting back to writing.
Darynda Jones Hi Jenny and thank you! I will probably do a novella with Cookie for 1001 Dark Nights and a spin off of Beep and Osh, most likely a trilogy, in the near future.
