All I can say officially is that it'll be within the next 2 books. We're not sure yet exactly where the end of book 6 will fall.

But soon. It won't be a series cliffhanger or anything.

I was wondering what the karma is for... I've kinda just been going around exhalting everyone. I wanted to make sure I'm not supposed to save that for special occasions, Lol!
And also when writing your storys do you have a pretty good outline and pretty much have it in your head what happens, or do you have a general idea and let it evolve as you write? I'm writing a non-erotic type book and I'm having trouble organizing my thoughts. Seems waking up in the middle of the night and writing ideas in a journal isn't working for me... crazy, right???

I don't rightly know, and me too. ;D Should we be saving them for special?

As to outlining and etc., a lot of plot developments are outlined or scripted, but some can't be. I know better. Any time I get too exacting on details, it sometimes seems as if the characters gather round and say, "Isn't it cute how she thinks she's in charge?" and go completely haywire.

I don't always love how the process works. And it doesn't always "work". This is where mean, evil substantive editors come in very, very handy.

Thank you and I will continue exhalting. I like that word and it makes me feel powerful and generous at the same time... teehee!

Ladies, I have a theory on the karma.

After much meditation and getting in touch with my inner Confucius, I've surmised that it is a bit of a rating system. Lets us all know who is generally well liked.

Alas I shall not be hitting the smite button any time soon (even though that one would make me feel really powerful) because you are just all so much fun to interact with.

[seanna78]

Chris,
I feel the need to offer my services, if anyone gets on here with negativity or just to be mean (we all know they are out there), then I think we should gang up and smite the hell out of them. Haters beware I got a touchscreen and I'm not afraid to use it!!!

[chris]

Hehehe!

I'm with ya. Just point out the bad guys and I'll go on a once an hour smiting rampage!

"By the end of summer" is the best I can guess-timate, provided all revision and editing stays on schedule.

(That sound you just heard was me knocking on wood)

Meg,

I had a thought... scary, I know. It was kinda random that you posted a pic of how you picture Ben. I am now ready to beg you (since I have very little pride, and I think you'd like it. Lol) please, please, please tell me you were thinking about Ben cuz Amanda has a scene with him in the next book? I hope I'm right he seems like a fun character!

Would it make you think less of me if I was just thinking about how gratuitously handsome CH is in that picture?

Seriously though, there is a scene. Of a sort. I don't mean to be tiresome, there, but it'd be a pretty big spoiler if I was more specific.
