Will there be another Far Seek Chronicles book? I really enjoyed the first two and am hoping for another!
Hi, Marie! I responded to you off-site. Thanks for stopping by!
But now we’re all left wondering what the answer is…
Well, I blogged about book 3 AND included a teaser here: http://andimarquette.com/2012/06/10/teaser-book-3-far-seek-chronicles/
Will you ever write a sequel/series to “Some Kind of River”? I just finished this novella and loved it and of course Mel and Dez.
Hi, there–thanks for stopping by!
NOTE: SPOILER BELOW! Don’t read any further if you haven’t read “Some Kind of River.”
At this point, I’m not planning a sequel to “Some Kind of River,” which I originally wrote and published with Torquere Press in 2008, I believe it was. When the rights to that story reverted to me, I then re-wrote it as a novella and self-published it on Kindle (as you know). When I originally wrote the story, I had never conceived of it as anything but a standalone, because I like thinking of Dez and Mel as happy in their initial decision to act on their attraction and engage in a relationship. I don’t like thinking of them as possibly not working out, and a sequel would have to delve into whether or not their relationship was going to work or not, and I don’t like thinking of them as not working out, though obviously that does happen with relationships. But here, I wanted to retain the elements of romance and hopefulness between them. That’s why I wrote “Some Kind of River” as a standalone, because I liked trying to capture that moment where two people realize they have deeper feelings for each other and they might make a good match, and I liked thinking that readers could maybe see possibility in their own lives, because these two took a chance.
Now, I have delved into the “meat” of relationships in the two series I write. One is a mystery series set in New Mexico and the other is a sci fi series. The main characters in each of them experience the euphoria and romance of finding someone who might be really special, and in each book, I explore deeper layers of those relationships because people and relationships change as time passes. Those two series I initially conceived of and designed as series, so I was fully prepared to throw my characters into the messy aspects of relationships, in addition to the fun stuff.
Having said that, I am currently finishing up another romance novella with a couple of characters I think you might enjoy and that one I conceived as something that would, in fact, have a sequel. I’ll leave it at that. I hope to publish this novella on Kindle next month (March 2013).
And having said all that, I have another standalone romance full-length novel that I’ve just about completed. I hope to possibly have that ready for public consumption this fall. Stay tuned…
And thank you so much for reading and I’m so glad you like Dez and Mel. They do have a special place in my heart.
Cheers!
Will there be anything else pertaining “from the boots up”? I really enjoyed the story and like to know what will happen with them.

And stay tuned!
“From the Boots Up” was a terrific read. Thank you. ~~Maryanne
Well, thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
Just finished “From the Boots Up”. Wow. I grew up a country girl and memories came flooding back. That book didn’t even feel like I was reading. It was like I was living it. You know its a good book when you can’t remember turning any pages and next thing you know it is the end. I would love a follow up.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it and stay tuned. I’m not done with Meg and Gina yet…
I absolutely loved From the Boots Up! I enjoyed all the warm hearted characters. Looking forward to reading more… very easy read! Great writing Andi…
Well, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for letting me know.
From the Boots Up,is the best lesbian romance book I have ever read. I sure hope you have another one on the way.
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed it. Stick around…I’m not done with Meg n’ Gina yet…
Hi Andi,
Just wanted to say thank you for the great work you’re doing. I’m always happy to find a great bard and you work is up there with the best. I especially loved your fantasy series and can’t wait for the next book.
You’re work reminds me of Elizabeth Moon’s Vatta’s series. Which I hope you take as a compliment. All the best for the future.
A fan.
Why, thank you! And wow, what an honor to be compared to Elizabeth Moon. Thank you so much. And thank you for reading!
