I live in UK or Australia: STOP! Read the FAQ. Seriously. We DO NOT have any additional information at this time.
Please be forewarned that if you send us an abusive email, your message will be posted on the blog, complete with your name.
How many books are planned in your Magic Series?
As of March 2011, Magic series will consist of 7 main books, featuring Kate and Curran, 2 full length spin-off novels, probably featuring Andrea and Raphael and Jim and Dali, and several novellas. For more information on the series, please click here.
How many books are planned in your Edge series?
As of March 2011, Edge series will consist of 4 books. For more information on the series, please click here.
Will your books be available in e-format?
I’m in UK or Australia and I’m emailing because I can’t find MAGIC BLEEDS/MAGIC SLAYS in e-format?
Sadly, we’re orphaned in UK. I pretty much suspected so – our UK editor had left the publishing house – and I had asked our agent about it, who is looking for alternative venue. Today, thanks to Susan, we have a semi-official confirmation.
Thank you for your email and I am sorry for the slow reply. I have been speaking with our editorial team here and unfortunately we have not acquired these rights, and it doesn’t appear that we will be doing so in the near future. It is likely that the US publisher will be distributing their own edition in the UK and Australia.
UK Publisher Rights and Digital Executive
This affects Australian rights as well, I believe.
I’ve been asked before, “Why don’t you just self-publish?” It may come to that. If we do self-publish, we would have to resign ourselves to kissing any UK print deal for the series good-bye. It’s not the question of money. (I think we only got $5,000 per book.) It’s the question of availability. The US imports can be purchased in UK and Australia, but they are a pain to find. Having a print deal would make the books more widely available to people who still prefer to read in paper.
One way or the other, we will figure this out.
I’m emailing for cover quote.
We’re represented by Nancy Yost. Her contact information is:
Nancy Yost Literary Agency

Please contact Nancy for all questions in regard to rights and cover quote requests.
If you email one of us asking to provide a cover quote for your book, we will delete your email. Please contact Nancy instead.
I’m emailing to complain about your cover.
We do not control our covers, except for the books we self-publish. The covers are created by the art department of Ace based on the brief descriptions of the characters and models available. We have very little input into the cover process. For example, we wanted a little raccoon on the cover of Fate’s Edge and didn’t get despite begging and stomping our feet. Emailing us to tell us about it probably won’t do much good. :(
I’m emailing to complain that your books/ebooks aren’t available in my country.
We do not control the availability of our books in other countries. Your local publishers and retailers control that. If you would like to read our work in your language/your country, please email a local publisher who publishes fiction similar to our work and let them know you would like to read us on your terms. We’re happy to sell foreign rights to other countries. We would like to have our books to be available as widely as possible.
Will you donate to my charity?
Probably not. We donate to a number of charities monthly and we receive a lot of requests of this nature. While we applaud your cause and support you in your charitable endeavors, we will not contribute financially to your cause.
Will you come on my blog to do an interview/guest blog post/giveaway?
Our deadlines are very tight this year and we have to limit the number of guest blogs we do. We’ll be happy to hear from you, but please don’t be upset if the answer is no.
Will you read my manuscript/recommend me to your agent?
No.
PO Box?

The book i read, deadville is an ebook written by kate daniels. I now understand that your series is a character kate daniels. I guess thats why my google search has brought me to your site.
I’m a little nervous after reading your comment about emails right after I sent my email about your graphics work. I certainly hope I did not insult you guys in some way. If I did I’m definitely very sorry.
Marsha,
If you didn’t call me any unprintable names, you have nothing to worry about.
Are any stories planned for Lucas and Karina Tucker?
Your “Curran POV”s are really good. They give me a more rounded view of the occurances. One POV I would love to read would be Curran’s point of view when Kate was taken by the rakshasas from the games. Would that be possible?
Dear Ms. Andrews,
One of the leading websites on romance novels in The Netherlands and Belgium is ChasingDreams (www.chasingdreams.nl).
Attached to the website is a Forum with lots of devoted and active members. We all love romance novels and we read and review a lot of books. From my perspective, both your series about The Edge and about Kate Daniels are top of the line. I really liked the way you change small aspects of the world we’re living in, to make it new, exciting and yet very much recognizable…
On the 30th of June we have our annual Forum meeting. On this day we meet and talk about our romance novel passion. One of the highlights of this day are the goodie bags we make.
We make goodie bags for each member and try to fill that with small items we get from publishers and authors.
As one of the organizers of this day I would like to ask you if it is possible to obtain some small freebies from you. A bookmark, a pen, a signed bookplate or maybe even a book.
For us in The Netherlands and Belgium, freebies like that are not always easy to get. We collect and trade them and you can imagine that on a festive day like we are going to have, it’s the absolute cherry on the cake to get some as a gift.
If you want more information about the website or the event please don’t hesitate to contact us via the website email chasing@chasingdreams.nl
Thank you so much in advance for your time.
Kind regards,
Sara Wiericx
Co-organizer
