I've been receiving quite a few e-mails recently, asking about two of my book series and when the new volumes will be available. In regards to Legends Unleashed, the series is complete, so there will be no new books. Thank you so much to all the readers and reviewers who have supported Legends Unleashed throughout the years! As for The Horror Diaries, that series is very much alive and well, with a new release planned soon. I apologize for the delay in the fifth book, but my attention was primarily focused on Frostbitten.
