    Lauren Fortgang and James Fouhey will be back as the voices of Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren. I’ve gotten so many nice comments about their narration, and I know they will do an excellent job once again.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The Only Cold Depths audiobook will be released Dec. 10, so it will NOT be available on Oct. 29 with the ebook/print book.

    Why the delay? There was a scheduling conflict, and the audiobook couldn’t be recorded in time to be simultaneously released with the ebook/print book. Writing/producing/releasing a book involves a lot of people, deadlines, and moving parts, and unfortunately, things like this happen from time to time.

    If you want to read Only Cold Depths on release day, Oct. 29, you will have to get the ebook or print book. Those links are below. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for reading!

    ONLY COLD DEPTHS DESCRIPTION:

    New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep continues her Galactic Bonds series with a new, action-packed adventure that blends science fiction, fantasy, and historical romance. This rollicking space opera features a mix of magic and technology, along with a soulmates story and “Pew! Pew! Pew!” battle scenes. Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, Bridgerton, and Pride and Prejudice.

    A WOMAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HER POWER . . .

    Everyone knows the name Vesper Quill. I used to be a lowly lab rat working in a Regal-owned corporation, but thanks to my truebond with Kyrion Caldaren, I’m now one of the most wanted fugitives in the Archipelago Galaxy.

    Kyrion and I have spent the last few weeks avoiding bounty hunters, along with the Arrows, the elite Imperium warriors tasked with capturing us. Now we’ve journeyed to a distant planet that’s supposed to be a refuge for truebonded couples, but when new enemies appear, we’re once again in grave danger.

    As a seer, inventor, and engineer, I’m skilled at figuring out how things work, but I can’t quite understand my growing magic and newfound psionic abilities. The clock is ticking, and if I don’t figure out how to tap into my power, I’ll doom myself to a gruesome fate, along with Kyrion.

    A MAN WHO CAN’T LET GO OF HIS FEAR . . .

    As Kyrion Caldaren, I’m used to being respected and feared, especially given my telekinesis, telepathy, telempathy, and other powerful psionic abilities. What I’m not used to is being on the run, but as a rogue Arrow, I’ll do anything to protect Vesper.

    Just when I think we’ve finally reached a safe haven, trouble finds us again, reigniting all my fears about losing Vesper.

    When the cold depths of our enemies’ plan are finally revealed, the truth is more terrifying than anything I could imagine. Soon Vesper and I are fighting for our lives again, but even with our growing truebond power, this is one battle we might not survive.

    Only Cold Depths is book #4 in my Galactic Bonds science-fiction fantasy series. It is the next full-length book featuring Vesper Quill and Kyrion Caldaren, and it picks up a few weeks after the events of Only Hard Problems, book #3.

    After Only Cold Depths comes out, I am planning to write at least one more book about Vesper/Kyrion. I also hope to write a full-length book for Zane with his own story/adventure/romance. So as of right now, I am planning to write at least 2 or 3 more books in the series — maybe more, depending on reader interest/demand.

    I appreciate all the nice comments about the Galactic Bonds books. Thank you for reading!

    No more Crown of Shards books …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG
     
    Question: Are you planning to write any more books in your Crown of Shards/Gargoyle Queen world?
     
    Answer: At this time, I am not planning to write any more books/stories in my Crown of Shards/Gargoyle Queen epic fantasy world.
     
    Why not? Well, it comes down to publisher interest, sales, and time, as most things do in publishing.

    Kill the Queen cover art featuring woman holding a bloody crownKill the Queen is book #1 in my Crown of Shards series. It focuses on Everleigh Blair, a royal who is distantly in line for the throne who becomes a gladiator to save her kingdom from her villainous cousin.

    Kill the Queen and the rest of the original Shards trilogy did/sold really well, which is why my publisher wanted more books, and I got to write the Gargoyle Queen trilogy about Gemma Ripley.
     
    However, the Gargoyle Queen series didn’t do/sell nearly as well as the original Shards trilogy. Why not? I think the books coming out during the pandemic was a big part of it, but I don’t really know. Some book series do well, while others don’t. Not having a concrete answer to questions like this always drives me crazy, but there is nothing I can do about it. *shrugs*
     
    I was planning to write a third trilogy about Delmira Morricone, but my publisher didn’t want any more books in my Crown of Shards world, so that’s the main reason I’m not writing any more books in my Shards world.
     
    I could self/indie publish some books in my Shards world, but right now, my Galactic Bonds series is doing the best for me so that’s what I’m going to focus on.
     
    Like I said before, it comes down to publisher interest, sales, and time. I have writing-related health issues, so my time to write is limited, and I need to concentrate on what is working for me right now.
     
    If something changes, and I ever get the chance to write more books in my Crown of Shards world, I will post about that online.
     
    I appreciate all the nice comments I’ve gotten about Evie’s and Gemma’s stories over the years. If you are looking for more romantasy books to read, you might want to check out my series. Thank you for reading.
