Hey! Hope you guys are having a great start to your week. I wanted to give you an update. Still working on Forbidden Shadows, the next in the Lee County Wolves, and getting the next Magic and Mayhem Universe finished, which will release in October. Super busy! I have Jill’s cover which I hope you LOVE and will be posting that very soon when I put her up for Pre-Order. So yeah, that’s what’s going on here.
Also, this is the last chance to vote for Jakey Pooh in the cover contest over at Allauthor. If you have a chance he sure could use your vote. He is currently in second place and has a climb to get to third. The cover contests are great because it does showcase authors works in front of new winners so even coming in second would be amazing, but you know how these Warriors are…always wanting to be first. HA!
Anyhoo, hopefully the next post will be Jill’s pre-order and cover reveal! Soon guys…very soon. Hugs and tons of love to you all. Enjoy the rest of your week and stay safe!

Just wondering what’s after jill.
Hey Christina,
King took me by surprise, but I’m unsure if he will be next. What do you think? :). I’m taking suggestions. LOL!
I really hope you enjoyed Jill and I appreciate your support more than you know.
Hugs,
Teresa
I have been readying your protector series and am a bit frustrated. I feel I am waiting longer and longer for the next book. To have a series this large and there seems to be no end to it. Don’t get me wrong I would be happy to read on but it is getting to the point where the older charters are not there (Jax and Rohan are just two) or not being utilised and it is dragging. The woman’s stories are great to keep in touch with older characters but there are others I was hoping to read about next, not Jill. I didn’t like how she was just as much the main character as Jake was. Is Jill coming next? and poor Jake has been left up in the air. Who is this King and Dillon?? Please not more new characters! I’m guessing Daniel will be the final??
I have been loving this series but I found Jakes a letdown, I thought Jessie was going to get kidnapped by gello and jake saves her. But all that book did was build Jill up for her book. Poor Jake and Jessie story was boring, had no build up to a Steamy part and never really got exciting in any way. Please try and focus on this series for a bit.
Amy,
Sorry I am just getting to your comment. Yes, Jill is next as you might already know. I’ve heard from a few readers who, like yourself, who felt Jill was in Jake’s book too much. Not sure what I can say about that other than you are probably right. I hear you as well as a few others who have written to me about Jill. But I also hear other readers who wanted Jill’s story as not a Mate, but a Protector book and I as the author agreed with that. I felt she deserved her book as well. She will not have a mate book.
As for older characters after 27 books and a whole lot of characters I do my best to bring them all in, but at times I don’t. That is why the Mate books are being written. There will be new characters, as King is one of them. I understand that you feel that Jake’s story was a let down which was not my intention. I try in posts, on Lives and however I can to explain that this is a ongoing series. As of this time readers want more and I will give them more which means new characters as well as continued storylines. I refuse to word vomit the same stuff about each character, same situations, etc. in each book. To me as a reader and a writer…that is boring. Jill has been the hardest for me. She has been in around as long as Steve, Adam and Dillon. From the feedback I’ve gotten I did my job with her Warrior story. It wasn’t regurgitating the same Jill story over again.
King is a new character that was written in Angelina’s book. He is a Warrior recruit. Dillon has been in and out of the series since Jared’s book. More out than in, but because of the readers wanting him that will change. As of right now I can’t tell you what book will be the last book since Sloan was originally supposed to be the last book and because of the readers I have continued with the series. As for dragging it out, yes, I guess I am since it is a series. That’s what usually happens in books and television series.
Jake and Jessie will continue their story because as I have said repeatedly…this is a series. Ronan will be back, he is mentioned in Jill’s book, but not a big player because Kira’s Mate book is not next. I am not just putting characters in just because. There has to be a reason for them to be there.
I hope this answers some of the issues you have with the books. I do my best to make everyone happy, but in reality I know that is not always going to happen. I try to explain the best I can and hope you continue, but I totally understand if you do not. I refuse to write the same old song and dance in each book which is why I bring in new characters as well as spotlight who will be the next book. I’ve done that from the beginning and honestly will continue until the last book.
As for Jake and Jessie, again their story is not over because it’s a series. If you recall King who loves ballet dance….well just wait for his story if you want more of Jake and Jessie, that is if you stick around for the rest of the series which I hope is the case. If not I do want to thank you for the support you have given to this point. I do appreciate and respect your opinion and I do hear you, but please do not assume I do not focus on my writing. That is not a opinion, but an assumption which I can state is a hundred percent wrong. The rest I respect and tried to explain because I actually do care.
Again I am sorry for the late response,
Teresa
