What Keeps a Series going in your mind? Did you know up front before the first book that it would be a series and did you map them out?
Series continue for many reasons. Sometimes its because there is a contract for a number of books or the stories just keep coming. Often for me, its when I have a story that I want to tell. Usually at the beginning, I write a story and there will be a character or situation that will speak to me and I’ll feel the need to explore it further. I rarely know when I start a story if its going to turn into a series or not. Its all about what speaks to me.
Ending a series is a whole other story. I often bring it to an end when there just aren’t any more stories that I want to tell or when I find that I’m forcing a story or an idea into a situation that it doesn’t belong. In the case of Fire and Iron, this will be the last story in this series. I don’t want to continue with it and try to draw things out. There is no need.
Instead I have decided to start something new. The next story in the Carlisle World will surround K-9 officers and their dogs.
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2025.

Blurb/Synopsis:
Gregory Montrose and Fillian O’Connell grew up next door with a tall fence separating their families.
Fillian, now a state trooper, grew up with plenty of love and little else, looking over the fence at the neighbor’s pool he never got to swim in. His family barely made ends meet and he worked hard for everything he has. Including making it to the police academy and graduating at the top of his class, and landing a posting in the Carlisle area.
Electrician, Gregory had everything growing up, at least on the surface, but it was for appearances. He looked over the fence at the family who did everything together, and listened to his parents fighting most nights. His parents made sure he had all the advantages money could buy, but little else.
A domestic disturbance call reunites them with Fillian talking down a deranged assailant. Both men have changed, and yet they are so very different. Fillian has the life he’s always wanted and Gregory is struggling to raise his niece and nephew. Attraction is a surprise for both of them and as heat builds between them, family disasters threaten to either blow them apart or forge them stronger, like steel.
