FAQ

In what order should I read your books?

First off, check out my reading order page for the best overview of my recommended reading order for The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters and Eversfield Academy: Vampire Origins young adult urban fantasy series.

In a nutshell, my recommended order is to read the main series (The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters) first, then circle back to the prequel series of standalone stories (Eversfield Academy: Vampire Origins).

However, you can also read my books in chronological order, in which case you'd start with the prequel series of standalone stories (Eversfield Academy: Vampire Origins) and then read the main series (The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters).

Also, my books are meant to be read multiple times, with little breadcrumbs sprinkled throughout the books of both The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters and Eversfield Academy: Vampire Origins referencing what's happened in the past and hinting at what will happen in the future.

For the best reading experience, I recommend reading The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters series, then Eversfield Academy: Vampire Origins, and then re-reading The Eversfield Academy Vampire Hunters series.

For what ages are these books appropriate?

Readers of all ages from teens to great-grandparents can enjoy my books!

Overall, my young adult books are meant for 13 and up (but the occasional 11- or 12-year old may enjoy them).

The romance is sweet (nothing on-page beyond kissing), and the cursing is minimal (no F-bombs, the occasional "crap" or "shit" but probably only a handful of those in an entire 70,000-word book). The violence can be intense, but it isn't grisly or gory. The climactic scenes are thrilling and exciting and occasionally deadly, but they're far from horror.
