I try very hard there--eventually my own girls are going to be old enough that they want to read dad's books and when that happens I'd rather not have to tell them that they can't read them until they are 17 :)Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430344862291576599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681863403870117021.post-43165760923004009242013-11-10T13:09:17.135-08:002013-11-10T13:09:17.135-08:00Are you adding more to Alec and Adri's story? ...Are you adding more to Alec and Adri's story?

Would you write about both sides of the story, like the story with adri then alecs?

I like the way you narrate all the characters and especially from Adri's & Alec's point of view. It would be nice if there is a book from Rachel's point of view as well. I will be eagerly waiting for the next Reflections book as I felt that ending of this book is a bit abrupt.<br />I would love to read more Reflections books.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01922563683784759514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681863403870117021.post-79601673031098402932013-07-02T16:46:28.850-07:002013-07-02T16:46:28.850-07:00Hi, Hannah.
Sorry to have edited your comment--ju...Hi, Hannah.<br /><br />Sorry to have edited your comment--just wanted to make sure that we didn't give anything away there that we shouldn't have.<br /><br />Firstly, you're really fast! I'm glad that Riven sucked you in so well, but sorry that you don't have anything to read for your flight tomorrow :\<br /><br />The ending of the book was intentionally left a little vague-there are clues there in Riven and some more in the Handoff, but I didn't want to give away too much too quickly-things will become a bit clearer as time goes on :)<br /><br />Actually, you've just made me think of something else that I think I'm going to try and put into one of the subsequent books. It's about Alec's mom...<br /><br />As to future books in the series, the answer is definitely yes! The next Guadel Chronicles book will be released the first of September and then I'll be releasing another Eldon Murphy book (The Eldon Murphy books are set in the Reflections universe, but feature a different cast of characters and are slightly darker/aimed at a little bit older audience. The two storylines will merge at some point though, so at some point you'll see a book written by both Dean Murray and Eldon Murphy as crazy as that sounds.)<br /><br />After that I'll be releasing my first full Dark Reflections novel which will feature Alec in an alternate timeline so you'll get to see a bit of how life might have gone if his father never died.<br /><br />That's as much as I've got written so far, but I think I'll be writing another Dark Reflections novel soon, and then as you've astutely pointed out, I need to go back and address some of the different threads that I developed at the end of Riven.<br /><br />Ash and Kristen (along with one of my wife's favorites) need a book focused pretty much just on them, Jasmin needs a book focused just on her and Ben, Rachel will be getting a book of her own too as will another leading lady that I'm really excited for a chance to develop further, I'm just not quite sure how to pull off what I want to do yet.<br /><br />So there will definitely be a lot more Reflections to come. As far as your other question, the one I pulled out, that conflict isn't over. They've been knock onto their back foot, but they still have a few cards to play and the relevant hero can only be in one place at any given time, so there is plenty still to happen there. Plus, that particular group isn't the only 'big bad' in Alec and Adri's world. There are plenty of challenges still to be overcome.<br /><br />I hope that helps and am glad that you enjoyed Riven so much-thanks for stopping by to comment :)<br /><br />DeanDeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430344862291576599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681863403870117021.post-28931848523583611332013-07-02T15:47:30.150-07:002013-07-02T15:47:30.150-07:00This was a comment left by Hannah Vesinger.

So many things unanswered that are killing me lol. I'm not sure what happened towards the end of the book [redacted] Wasn't too sure but loved it and finished it in a day (I was hoping to read it on a long haul flight tomorrow but couldn't wait haha). Do you hope to write many more books in the series? It sounds like from the ending it might be wrapping up soon and I hope not I can't get enough of them. I hope you plan to release the next one very soon and look forward to reading that and the side stories I think will be released judging by the ending.

I need to settle on a blurb (I've got a couple of options but I'm not quite happy with either of them yet) and then I'll start loading it up to all of the usual places.<br /><br />I think it may show up as available for pre-order at that point in iBooks, but probably not anywhere else. I'll make sure I get it uploaded in plenty of time though for it to be there on the 1st of July.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words regarding my books and writing. I still have a long ways to go before I'll be as good as a writer as I'd ultimately like to be, but I do feel like I get a little better with each new book.<br /><br />I think one of the things that helped me the most was reading so much when I was younger. I used to go through a new book every 2-3 days.<br /><br />Beyond that it's a lot of practice, so keep at it :)<br /><br />DeanDeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430344862291576599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681863403870117021.post-52735116009882305332013-06-17T20:57:27.526-07:002013-06-17T20:57:27.526-07:00Hey Dean I have a question for you........

I have searched everywhere for Riven witch from your posts was said to come out on the first of July I was greatly looking forward to reading it but to could not find it the Kindle App Store or in iBooks. I would greatly appreciate it of you could inform me when they would be available on iBooks so I could read it. By the way I absolutely adore your books but even more so I am attracted to your way of writing .The way you write the books is extravagant and I absolutely adore it and admire it. I hope I can become as great of a writer as you some day. I hope you read this and have an amazing day Mr. Murray! :) <br />Sincerely,<br />A very anxious twelve year old named Ciara. :)ThatOneBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04547536455674947269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681863403870117021.post-34309727837491952052013-05-31T20:02:00.404-07:002013-05-31T20:02:00.404-07:00Hi, Hannah.

It'd be one book then but with the different stories. I've just finished reading a series with a novella as a side and it was a really good idea. Just a thought.. I've downloaded all the books to do with the series and absolutely love them, they brought me to tears a few times and I have a hugely irrational crush on Alec, lol. Keep up the good work I cannot wait to read more about adri and alec and all the other characters. d happily buy all separate books too in the series.
