Becca’s questions, answered in part.

When I published The Full Reading Order of the Adept Universe, as of Jan 2022 in preparation for the release of the collection of stories in Moments of the Adept Universe 1, Becca accepted the challenge of re-reading the entire universe! 40 stories in total!

And, as of a few minutes ago, Becca has questions.

Ahem.

A LOT of questions!

So … for fun, I thought I’d have a go at answering Becca’s lingering concerns/hopes/wishes:

  1. Readers will catch a glimpse of Mory and Liam in Misfits 2, and Mory is slated to narrate Misfits 3.
  2. No current/set plans for Freddie, though I wouldn’t be surprised if she shows up in the Misfits books.
  3. I politely suggest a re-read of the Reconstructionist trilogy. While I understand that readers come to their own conclusions while reading, and I really should keep my mouth shut about it, I was very careful in how I constructed the trilogy. It ends exactly as it always was going to end, exactly how I set it all up from the VERY beginning. And it is the only ending that Wisteria – it is, after all, HER story, not Kett’s – could have survived. It also happens to be the right choice for the executioner, who doesn’t know himself as well as he likes to think even after 1200+ years (see Estelle’s comments, plus see the third Dowser trilogy and Misfits 1).
  4. Unlikely. 😂
  5. Maybe. As a bonus scene after Amplifier 6 (aka the end of the main series). Maybe. But only for fun. And only because readers keep asking.
  6. Yes.
  7. The ‘secrets’ hidden in Dusk’s power (as well as other secrets) will (mostly) be revealed in Archivist 3.
  8. Ditto the above.
  9. Will be slightly less of a mystery after Archivist 3, but still likely quite mysterious (how’s that for an ‘answer? 😂).
  10. See Misfits 2.
  11. See Misfits 2. And one (?) more Kandy short story.
  12. See Misfits 2. 😂
  13. Yes. [See the timeline].
  14. No plans for anymore ‘making babies’ (that will never be a big theme in my books, as I’m not a mother myself) but more families will expand by other means and there will definately be more ‘marriages’ (aka unions/mates/bonded couples), next up see Amplifier 6.
  15. Hmmm, Tony can go either way at this point … and I’m not talking about sexual orientation.
  16. No plans for any more Dowser POV books. I’ve explained why in length in previous posts (they are trilogies, readers getting nasty, etc), so I won’t reiterate it all. But there will be more Jade, probably always. I do adore her myself.
  17. Besides being rare? I think just the nature of their power answers that question, but also see Amplifier 5 (hint), and more fully, Amplifier 6.
  18. The reasons behind the twins not being accepted into the Academy has been hinted at in a few places. See the later Dowser books, Misfits 1, etc. Its rooted in their abusive childhood (see At Just the Right Moment) and the Academy’s prejudices/concerns about that trauma. With that said, Gabby will narrate Misfits 4 and more shall be revealed!
  19. Yes. See Amplifier 5.5 (Zans’s POV) and Amplifier 6.
  20. Not anytime soon. 😂 Way too complicated. Though I posted an early version of Dusk’s family tree (not canon!!) when I worked it out for Archivist 0.

Done! Hopefully, that was as good for you as it was for me. 🤣

Thank you for (re)reading and commenting, Becca! And the rest of my lovely readers, of course and always.
