It’s always sad when you hear this about an author, especially when she’s cut off part way through a series. I have to admit, I haven’t read this series yet, but it was on my list of Interesting Books.
I hope you’ll consider pitching the rest of the series to another publisher, so your fans can continue reading it. And the best of luck with future endeavours.

I bet a lo of people will be pissed.

Best of luck on your future writing endeavors, Sara!

I received word from my editor on October 1, 2008 that there will be no further books in The Brethren Series. I appreciate all of the wonderful feedback I’ve received from readers and know many have been left wondering what happens after DARK HUNGER ends. Although I tried three times to pitch an additional installment to the series, the original pitch is the story as I meant it to continue. I don’t have much of the manuscript completed, and what I do have, you’ll find in the “Deleted Scenes” thread at my forum, as alternate scenes from “Dark Hunger.” The outline for the proposed third book in the Brethren Series, “Dark Passion” is now also available at my forum. IT CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE PUBLISHED BOOKS. Hopefully it will answer any lingering questions readers may have about the events set up in “Hunger.” You’ll find it here: http://sarareinke.activeboard.com/index.spark?forumID=114707&subForumID=452543&p=2

Thanks again to everyone who has read my books and let me know their thoughts on them. You’ve made a rewarding experience even more worthwhile.

At any rate, this may be the first C book I’ve read ever that makes me want the next book. Like, right now.

Man, I can so relate to this!

Hi, Shannon,

I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to respond to your review! First off, thank you so much for taking the time to read my book and share your feedback. Glagghhh, I hate that I caused you so much distress! If it helps, my beta reader — who is my best friend — wouldn’t talk to me for a week after reading the ending. Hell, she STILL won’t let me live it down!

I know I’ve mentioned it previously on Gwen’s review, but I figured going into the process of writing “Hunger” that the ending would be polarizing for readers — they’d either love it or hate it. But I really hope folks think — as I do — that it was true to Rene’s character. I don’t like what happens, either, if it helps. It was a hard thing to write but I thought it would be a cop out to do things any other way.

I hope you’ll stop by my new message board: http://sarareinke.activeboard.com and share your thoughts and opinions with other readers. I’ve also posted some extra scenes you might like.

Thank you so much again. Don’t give up on me — or the guys in the book — yet!

Your and Gwen’s reactions have me highly intrigued!
