My die-hard War of the Fae fans are anxiously awaiting books 9 and 10, aka, the end of the series, and I have October 31st as the day for #9 to come out and November 30th for book 10. I've gotten umpteen messages from readers wanting to know when, when, when they can buy the books. I LOVE the enthu
siasm (I really, really do), so it kills me to have to say this…but…I need just a liiiiittle more time for Book 9. (Ack! Don't hate me!) I have been working ridiculous hours trying to get projects out the door (projects that piled up along with the WOTF books), and since I also need to sleep and sometimes see my family, well, it adds up to needing about another 2.5 weeks to finish #9.
BUT…(here's the good part)…since I know this news is going to make some of my readers crazy (not nearly as crazy as it makes me!) I hope the next sentence will help you not be quite so frustrated. When the book is published in November, it will be available for 99¢ for a limited time. That's 80% off the regular price! This 80% off deal is something I've never done for a new release mid-series (and probably never will again, since -knock wood- I hope to never be late publishing a book again), but I think it's important to say thanks to all of you who've waited for this delayed book so patiently and kindly, lending your moral support when I had some family tragedies tha
t interfered and life got a little overwhelming. I absolutely write for you, and I want this book to be something that makes you glad you took your valuable time to read it.
I'll put buy links and the details of this news in my next newsletter, so as long as you're on my mailing list, you'll get the details right to your inbox.

Such a bittersweet announcement. I’m so excited for the books but never want the series to end. I guess I’d better re-read the most recent one again.
Yeah, for me too! xoxo Elle
Awe it will be a real Treat even more when it comes. I’m on Book 6 in my re-read so I can wait just that little longer. It’s going to be my biggest regret on series endings as to when the Sookie Stackhouse books ending. They have been such a strong series of books and I’m so looking forward to them. Well done on your Multitasking ❤️ I think some people forget that you are not only an Awesome writer but an Amazing wife and mother too that has a house/ranch to run mouths to feed and also find the occasional me time in order to stay Sane 😂 Thank you for still finding time to write and send your fans Little personal messages too
I’m so happy you’re feeling this way about the series. I feel so very very lucky and blessed to have readers like you in my life!! You make all the hard work and stress worth it. xoxo Elle
Bittersweet Love the series . Hate to see a ending . Everyone knows one ending is a new beginning . Happy Halloween Elle
Yeah, me too. 🙁 xoxo Elle
LOVE. LOVE, LOVE!!!!!
I am super excited Elle, I have been patiently waiting for you to come out with more WOTF because they are my favorite series EVER!!! Thankyou for being so generous. I can’t wait to read them because I know they will be the best. I am ok with waiting a little longer because I KNOW they will be just awesome! After all, You can’t rush perfection. 😉 I am so excited, I can hardly stand it!
Thank you so much, Tana!! You’re such a super fan. You always make me feel like a million bucks! xoxo Elle
Got to say for years I’ve read and re-read The Dragonlance Chronicles. It’s been my absolute favorite. But after reading WOTF…. That series has been rivaled. When I look for a go-to book now it’s hard to pick! I love them both soooooo much! Elle you’ve done an amazing job so far with WOTF and I can’t imagine you would do any different with the last two. Take your time, make them great, and WOW the hell outta everyone with ending. Can’t wait to read it!! Thanks for the adventure through The Green Forest it’s been amazing!
This has to be one of the best compliments I’ve gotten about this series! I say this because the Dragonlance Chronicles are probably my favorite fantasy series of all time!! I’m a huge fan. So thanks for stopping by and saying these wonderful things about my work.:) xoxo Elle
Hey Guys if you are looking for something to read while we wait for WOTF and Love Dragons…. Have you read the books by Terry Spear. They are very good! Hope Elle doesn’t mind.
Thanks, Donna! I love book suggestions. 🙂 xoxo Elle
I can’t wait to read Dragon Riders but I understand that it must be difficult to have such a demanding career & juggle a family plus find time to stay sane through it all! I think we have all been in that situation at some point or we will experience it eventually lol!
It will be an amazing book like all the rest I’m sure!
It is tough, that’s for sure. Especially now that my life has changed so drastically with so many animals and a ranch to take care of. But 9 and 10 are coming soon! They have 100% of my work attention. xoxo Elle
So no WOF in November?
No for November, but YES for December! And not the end of the month either. Yikes. This book is killing me! xoxo Elle
No worries, just confirming 🙂 it’all be a Christmas gift to all your readers!
Thank you THANK YOU for understanding and being so positive. You have no idea how much I needed that right now. xoxo Elle
I am literally checking your site everyday looking to see if WOTF has been released yet LOL Cant wait to read the last 2 books, you are an amazing writer!!
Aw, you’re so sweet!! If you’re on my newsletter list you don’t have to check the site all the time. I’ll send you an email when it’s live! xoxo Elle
I LOVE the WOTF books, am completely addicted and dying for #9! Do you think it will be released in time for Christmas?
It’s my favourite series!!
Love that you’re addicted!! I won’t get it done before Christmas, but I’m working feverishly to get it done before New Years. Hang in there with me!! xoxo Elle
Hard time of year to be putting in hard hours, really appreciate the effort in getting it out there and can’t wait to read!!! Merry Christmas!
You said it! Merry Christmas to you too. 🙂 xoxo Elle
I am addicted to your books, can’t wait to read WOTF 9 and 10. Still expecting 9 for New Years? Any word on 10? I was really hoping to read these before starting my last year of my BA (this is the only break I get all year, and have read the series since you started it). Love your work, this is my favorite all time series of any writer, and I have passed it to many others! 🙂
I love knowing I have another addict on my hands. 🙂 It’ll really be pushing it to get it done by then, but I’m going to try. Otherwise, January is it! xoxo Elle
Any update on the release dates for books 9 and 10? I am eagerly awaiting their release!
UPdate! Yes, I need to put one out there. I feel like I’m cursed. Every time I get back into full time on just that project, something lands in my lap I can’t ignore or my life has a major upheaval or some other craziness happens. I will have it done this month. I have to! I have other books that need to get written after! Thanks for your continued patience. I’m ever so sorry for the lateness. 🙁 xoxo Elle
Hi Elle,
I know you said WOTF book 9 would have to be released January because you have other projects to do. Since it hasn’t been released yet, does this mean it will be pushed behind other projects for a later release date? I am very anxious to read the ending! I do have to admit, since it keeps getting delayed I have been reading all your other books waiting for the release and I LOVE them. You are an amazing writer and I haven’t found a book I didn’t enjoy yet. Thank you for that!
Hi, Tammy. My grandmother became very ill and I was called away to the US to be with her. She passed away the other day. This has pushed everything back, but my intention when I return home is to work on two projects simultaneously so WOTF won’t get pushed behind other projects. 🙂 xoox Elle
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you are spending some quality time with your family. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.
Thanks very much. xoox Elle
Hello…I just love your books…was wondering when WOTF..book 9 and 10 will be coming out?
I don’t have a definitive date yet. I’m working on 9 now along with another project at the same time, so it’s taking me a really long time. Stay tuned! xoxo Elle
On book 8 right now for WOTF. I’ve so enjoyed this series and looking forward to 9 and 10. Hope things are gong better for you.
Thanks, Penny. Life has its ups and downs for me like everyone else. Lately it feels like I’m riding The Hulk at Islands of Adventure in Orlando! xoxo Elle
First of all i wanna say thank you elle
Your books are amazing and they are truly the reason why i restarted reading again on a daily basis after 10 long years
You are one talented writer
Incredibly funny and addictive
I hope you can keep on with the amazing work you do.
Wish you all the best and again thank you .
Thank you, Helder. I’m so glad I could be a part of your reading journey. I will keep writing as long as you keep reading! xoxo Elle
Hi, Elle,
First of all i’d like to say that I just LOVE your work, especially WOTF! I bought the books of this series when they were published here in Brasil by Geração Jovem (Young Generation) publishers, but Darkness and Light was the last one, so I bougth the others in ebook . I’m really so far from my teens, but I fell for this series and can’t wait for Dragons Riders, so, please, tell me if there’s already a date for it to be released.
Thanks for your amazing work, and for your kindness for your readers, and please, excuse me for the mistakes with the language, I speak – and write – English very poorly, but I hope you understand.
Rita, I’m so glad you enjoyed the series. It’s a huge compliment, I know, that you would read the missing books in English! I speak enough French to get around, but working in another language can be really hard. I know it means you truly loved the books. 🙂 Don’t worry; Books 9 and 10 are coming. xoxo Elle
Just wondering if all us WOTF fans can get an update on book 9?
Of course! End of Summer/Fall is my window now, based on the contract I have with my publisher for a series that’s just ahead of it in the lineup. Thanks for your continued patience! xoxo Elle
Hallo,
just finished book 8 and am now so anxious to know, when book 9 and 10 are coming out. Really was one of the better Fae-stories I’ve read since reading fantasy – and this has been a very very long time. Stumbled across it in a book calles “Fairy Worlds” and could not rest until I read alle the rest out there, lol.
And now I’m stranded, lol. Signed up for your News-letter, but still do you have a silver-lining on the horizon for me?
Best wishes and speedy writing, lol.
Monika
