Hello again my lovelies! I've been getting a ton of emails asking when book 4 is coming out & I thought that I'd address the release date here on my blog.

I've been struggling with this decision for weeks and it has not been an easy one for me. I originally said that book 4 would be ready by March 5, 2013 but I don't think I'm going to be able to have it ready for you that soon. I know this news is disappointing to you guys and I'm really, truly sorry it won't be ready by then.

Book 4 is a bit different than the previous 3 books in the Skye Morrison Vampire Series. Book 4 introduces a changed Skye & with that, all the problems that come up for her. Legacy of Blood has a lot going on in it and I won't lie, I've struggled with a bit of writers block a few times during the last few months. Because of those blocks, rewrites & doubts, book 4 is taking longer than expected.

I honestly thought that I could get this book out as easily as the last two, but that's just not the case this time. It kills me to disappoint you guys but it'll disappoint you even more if I rush the story & put out less than the quality that you expect. Skye's story deserves better than that, I think.

So, that being said, I'm going to try for a late April 2013 release date. If something happens & I can release it sooner, I most definitely will.

I hope you lovelies aren't too upset with me. Being an avid reader myself, I know what it's like to wait for the next book in a series to come out. It's excruciating normally, but add a cliff hanger ending & it makes waiting twice as hard. But I promise...book 4 will not have a cliff hanger ending in it!

I'll keep you guys updated on my writing progress via my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/authorjlmccoy ). Thank you for all your kind emails about the series & I'm so happy that you've loved Skye's story so far. As always, I'm just an email away. I answer all emails via my website contact form personally so feel free to drop a line any time. It may take me a few days to reply, but I definitely will.

I adore you dolls and thank you for sticking with me.

Xo,
Jenn

I love the series. But don't rush the book. I think I speak for all of us that read the series that we can wait a little longer. I waited 10 years for the next book in a series I was reading, so whats a couple of months more. Write on!

Hi, please don't rush, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait. I enjoy reading the series and it'll give me plenty of time to re-read from the beginning x

The series is great and am happy to wait for book 4. There is no rush, besides need time to reread first 3 books before book 4 comes out anyway.

I completely understand and you couldn't of said it better. When you have in your mind what needs to be put down....you will know it and we will love the book that much more. You will have put your blood~sweat and tears into something that you have worked your butt off. Prolonging it just makes me that much more excited. You want it to be right and we are happy with your decision as an author. Take all the time you need.
Your #1 fan~Narly

I really love the series and can't wait to see how Skye is going to deal with her new self. Even though I can't wait for the new book, I would rather you feel like her story is going in the right dirction then a quick release date. Thanks so much for giving her story Life!!!
