Hello, Ruby and Liana, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the WOLF BROTHER books.  To answer your questions:

  • Will Torak and Renn have  a child?  I’m going to leave that one for readers to answer for themselves, as they wish!
  • Why have I stopped with WOLF BANE, the ninth book?  Because I feel strongly that it’s now up to Torak, Renn and Wolf to get on with their lives, and I wouldn’t want to start repeating myself, and letting the quality of the stories go down.  I think I’ve given them a good send-off, and I hope that readers will have fun imagining what happens next.
  • Will Torak’s gift be passed on to his son if he has one?  Again, I leave that to readers!
  • Hope that answers your questions – at least, to some extent.  And thanks for getting in touch.  Best wishes, Michelle
