    You can be introduced to the characters In Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, however if you decide to go back and read the previous series, it will contain major spoilers, much more so for Magnolia than Darling Investigations.* Why did you make it available through BookFunnel instead posting it on your website like you usually do?Two reasons. One, it’s long enough that I felt it would be too bulky to read on my website. That was a complaint when I released the free novellas this way. And two, my biggest complaint about the novellas was that readers couldn’t read them in their eReader and they had to purchase them if they wanted to read them later. I listened. I’ve tried to resolve that issue.* When will the next part be released?I have no idea. I haven’t even started it yet. I probably won’t start until I finish A Cry in The Dark, the book I’m currently working on.* Why do I have to be a newsletter subscriber?Because my newsletter is the very best way for me to get information about my new releases and important information to my readers. The very first Chosen stories I sent out in 2012 required readers to subscribe to my newsletter. The Rose novellas did too. The only difference was that content required a password to access on my website. Now I provide link to BookFunnel.* Will this be available in print?Possibly at some point, but obviously not until it’s complete.* Will it be available in audiobook?Same answer as above.* Why are you releasing this for free?Because I miss writing in Magnolia and Summer's worlds and I felt like this was a good way to give something to my readers. <3* How can I get access to Let Sleeping dogs Lie?Follow this link!
