    I found Lizzy through Damian’s Oracle, and after I read it I thought there is no way she can top this. Then I read Damian’s Assasin and afterwards thought wow she topped herself but there is no way she could do better than this. Then I read Katie’s Hellion and as much as I loved Damian and Sophie, I loved Katie and Rhyn more. Mostly because I identified with them so much. They are outcasts who are totally misunderstood and even when they do the right thing, people see it as the wrong thing, but I knew there was no way Lizzy could top herself after Katie’s Hellion.

    Until today. OMG!! Katie’s Hope is by far the best of your work to date. But the ending?! Talk about a cliffhanger. I can still feel my heart pounding in my chest. Not only did you top yourself with this one, but you went to a totally different galaxy!!

      Where have you been, Noor? You used to provide such insightful feedback and then you disappeared! ;-) I’m glad you didn’t stop reading my books, and I’m so happy you enjoyed this one! I like Katie and Rhyn, too, because they’re flawed but not bad people. I love exploring the shades of gray with life and choices and people … like Rhyn says, sometimes you only have bad choices to make! It’s so true; I’ve felt that way many times before. I loved making his character, because he’s misunderstood by everyone and wants to do what’s right but is – due to his nature and an abusive life – stymied in his efforts despite his best intentions. I think everyone feels that way at some point … Lizzy :-)

    . . . I’m leaving this website and not coming back until the “12-month challenge” is over. At least that way I’ll be able to read whole series at once. >.>

    Lizzy, you’re being just plain mean making the books like this, more like novellas in one large story rather than books in their own rights- and then making us wait months and months for another 2-hour fix. (It takes me 2 hours to read, anyway. Obsessively.) It’s abominable, woman! I already feel the withdrawal coming on…

    “Katie’s Hope” was breathtakingly beautiful, and extremely well-written. Your work improves with every book, Mrs. Ford. Although I find it sadistic, your build-up of tension and the baited-breath feeling at the ends of the stories is masterfully executed. I’ll be waiting anxiously for *months* for the conclusion of the series.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go lay down and wallow in self-pity for a while because I want to know what happens to Rhyn and Katie and… others (spoiler evasion, lolz!).

    Thanks for another truly entertaining read!

      Hi Krystyna! Haha … cute about not coming back until the 12 12 is over! You know, Stephen King used this same technique for releasing books in installments rather than in one whole book. :-) I see why, too. The books are just the right size for an afternoon read but keep people interested and engaged in the storyline.

      And thank you thank you thank you – I’m working hard to improve my writing as I go along this year! I’m happy it’s showing in the books. :-)

      Don’t worry – you’ll have other Lizzy books to read between now and March!!!

      Hi Kristzel! You’re welcome – so happy you liked it! My schedule is pretty packed, so I don’t think I can move up the release. I’m releasing the third book in the Damian series in Dec and launching a new trilogy … Yes, I think book three in the Rhyn Trilogy will be longer. Book 2 set up everything for book 3 … :-) The feedback has been awesome so far for K’s Hope. I’m so happy – I was really nervous about it, because the expectations were so high!!!! Lizzy :-)

    I was jumping in my seat when I found Katie’s Hope and I just was like WOW! :) talk about a BIG cliffhanger at the end. I’ll probably go mad in a week waiting for the last book in the Trilogy. Katie’s Hope was so so so (x gazillion) goooooood. -sighs- Hurry up March!!!!!!!!!!! I’m going mad already and it’s only been 10minutes!

    At the risk of being repetitious- WOW, OMG, and HOW dare you leave us in such suspense until March?!?! :) I found K’s Hellion and LOVED it!! Since then, I’ve obsessively burned through everything else I could find to keep myself busy while waiting for K’s Hope ( including Maddie and Damian’s books, where I beg of you to please explain the deal with Yevette and the dogs??) Rhyn’s book just wont get here fast enough, but look forward to filling the time with Rhyn: origins and whatever else you have up your sleeve. I’m sure they’ll all be as wonderful as the rest. You have such an amazing talent, thank you!!

I want to make sure the last Rhyn book and the last Damian book are both really strong, so I’m going to take more time to write them! But no worries – I’ll have a couple more coming out between now and then. And Rhyn Trilogy: Origins is now available as part of a Halloween collection with the work of some other awesome indie writers. It’s free at Smashwords! Yay! Lizzy :-)

    OK, here’s how bad it is. I downloaded Katie’s Hope last night to my Kindle right before I went to bed. Then this morning, sitting at my desk at work I downloaded the Kindle app for PC’s to my computer here so I could read whenever I get a second…(OMG I have it minimized right now while I am commenting!!) I’m halfway through and I am already enjoying it as much as Katie’s Hellion. I’ll pop over to amazon and leave a review when I am finished…just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying it so far!

    OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! i SIMPLY can not wait till march or ill go insane. REALLY loved K’s hope n like ALL the rest of your books, this one too made me up all night n read it all at once:D i felt so connected to so much stuff in it like apart from the character of Rhyn, it felt so….connected, how there were occasions when it really seemed that good fate is NOT the thing for everyone, like everyone says it is n how sometimes all the choices we have arent good…all of it happens to me ALL the tie, literally….n thats what i admire most of your books Lizzy, that you put the the real stuff in life that sucks sometimes in your books….makes one look differently to the outcomes in life:) my best wishes are always with you n may you be so much more successful that you could have imagined:) tc:)

It’s so true though – sometimes life hands us two awful choices, and we still have to pick one. :-( Been there, done that (tons of times! ha!) But the important thing I try to convey too in my books is that – as much as life sucks sometimes – you still have to hope and strive for the best … Take care, and I’m happy you liked it!!!

        no its fine Lizzy that i was up all night n stuff cos mostly, as im a crazy nutcase for books n all, i mostly read em all at once, no matter if they are some 5oo-page-book, like some Ive read by Dan Brown…n i have also been there where you just see two awful choices and are forced to rely on one…actually, that is ALWAYS the case with me n i guess im just so used to it now that i don’t really mind it but instead try to make the better outta most of it:) which is really helpful you know…n always remember, no matter how other ppl would think of your books, ill ALWAYS like them, no matter what…i feel VERY connected to them n other than that, books are my only friends and my best friends are the ones that touch some part of me and teach me some lesson…like your books:D i mean literally, after reading your work, i have had some awful situations n got through them with luck only n had some good stuff in store for me after that n if ti wasn’t for your work that Ive read so far, i would have never realized it- that good stuff always comes no matter how hard the way seems at first:) even when i grow old and walk with a stick in my hand, ill never forget that ppl like you n with a talent such as yours still exist in this wacky world:) tc:)
        P.S. don’t get confused or anything cos of my name n all cos its still me, Hareem, but Ive changed my name[for the 3rd time, to be precise] as Hareem doesn’t mean anything quite clearly whereas, speaking religiously, the meaning of Rayan is actually the name of a door in heaven through which the sincere ppl who have fasted just in the true name of God will pass through at the day of Judgement…so i guess its a much better name n like they say, names do have a effect on the person:)

          Wow – that’s awesome that my books have helped you with some stuff in life. It took me YEARS to realize that there is something good that can be found in most things in life, and that lesson was AWFUL to learn! You have to go through very bad things to learn it, and I don’t wish that on anyone. :-( And dont’ worry – I call my characters my imaginary friends, so you’re not the only one who finds friends in books! And Rayan is closer to Rhyn! Lizzy :-)

            We can even learn from the way birds fly around in the sky, if only we look deeper and concentrate hard enough on our surroundings but yes, your books are an amazing lesson class for me where i get lost n learn so much in that class:D and yes, life doesn’t appear in all its marvelous bloom before us that easy; it takes one’s whole courage and potential to go thru stuff n find something out after the dark tunnels of life end…i guess God just wants us to learn everything the hard way so that we don’t hinder from that path easily:) besides, it also depends how we view stuff that makes it look either good or bad or easy or hard for us… LOL about d name thingy….even i noticed it when i 1st started reading the Rhyn series:D made me like the character more:P have to say, its AMAZING how you create your characters with all their unique habits n lifestyles, specially Rhyn:) reading about them makes me feel as if I’ve known them for like years:P oh n good luck with all the other books that you’ll be releasing cos i realized it must not be that easy to write so much when you also will be editing the Damian series n all…good luck with all of it:D

    Ok, first, I remember when you wrote Damian’s oracle and there were like 2 or 3 comments. Now look at you, I get your book read and there is a big long page full! Good for you!!
    Now, seriously, I hate you. Why do you have to leave me on a cliff hanger, you know how I feel about cliff hangers! Then you go and actually tell me that the next book won’t be out till 2012! That is just plain MEAN!

    This book was awesome! I loved the whole thing (although I was slightly confused in the beginning because I thought he left her at Hannah’s). I loved the turn Jade made and that you killed him off – I hated that guy! I like how for the most part Kris and Rhyn are understanding each other at the end and thank goodness you didn’t kill of Katie – I would of really been ticked!

    Anyway, you are a WONDERFUL writer with one of the best imaginations I have ever seen. LOVE YOUR BOOKS. Seriously I’ll pay for them… go see my goodreads review.

          Hi Rormonster! Ok, so Katie’s Hope didn’t make it through the review process this week, so it’ll probably be next weekend before it’s on iBooks. :-( So sorry. Can you read PDFs on your apple device?? That might be a faster way. :-/ As for the Nook … something is really wrong between the edistributor and BN. They’re not connecting at all. It’s been several weeks since Kiera’s Moon should’ve appeared and it still hasn’t. I might try to upload Kiera and Katie’s Hope next week, if one of them doesnt’ appear.

The my books stopped making it to BN … I had to create an account to upload directly to BN, which means I couldn’t do it for free. I’ll have to do the same for ibooks in Dec, but I was hoping to wait til Dec, because I can’t price them for free if I don’t go through a third party … blah!

    NNNOOOOO!!! I cannot keep going without reading the third book!!! I finished K’s Hellion & K’s Hope in less than 20hrs (not counting all the “breaks”, like: going to work, sleep, hang out, and stuff). It is a nice work and I really liked it because it is not sappy as the usual romantic novel; it has its roller-coaster ride of emotions and a magnificent plot. I can’t wait until 2012!!! WAH!!!
    Anyway, sorry for ranting, what I wanted to say is that I loved your work at first sight. Congratulations, Ms. Ford!

    Well, Ibooks still does not have Katie’s Hope up yet. I re-read Katie’s Hellion this weekend in the hopes that I could get the book on Sunday. Any information would be helpful. I have the Ipad due to work, and the Ibooks app is a much nicer format for me. I am old school and I like the ‘turn’ the pages!! As one of your supporters on the kickstarter program, I have no problems paying for the book. I just want to read it. Thanks for the help and the replies. I am also anxiously awaiting the next in the Damian series as well. My biggest fear is that my patience will pay off and then I will finish the book in one day, leaving me bereft until the third book some out!

        It’s still not up, but Kiera’s Moon is and has been for some time. I checked and there is no one I can contact to ask about the book. Sorry!

    Kiera’s Moon has been up on IBooks for several weeks. It showed up about a week or so after it came up on the kindle store. Wish we could figure out the deal with Katie’s Hope!

    Of course, now I am getting an error when I try to download. It says try again later, and you KNOW I will!

    I was something weird on my device. Found a YouTube video by a preteen that said to change my date and time. Viola!

      In order to download you had to change your date and time? Geez! Talk about not being intuitive or human friendly!!! I’m glad it worked but so sorry for the issues!! Lizzy :-)

        Initial reactions: I did not get far. I had a test in my martial arts class so I was pretty tired last night.

        I am thoroughly enjoying the book. I am exasperated with Katie for keeping Rhyn at arms length. Without much time left, at least as we are lead to believe at this point, enjoy a little solace and happiness. As for Hannah, I am torn. Part of me hopes she gets to remain blissfully unaware. The other part waits for her veil of ignorance to be torn from her perfectly coiffed head so she can see how strong and brave her sister is.

        I am having a bit of trouble following some of the twists, although I have a suspicion that is your intent.

        The insight into some of the background characters is engaging, and I can not wait to get back to reading.

          Lol … I saw your iBooks review! :-) I’m assuming it’s a thumbs up from Rormonster. Did the twists make sense when you reached the end?? I’m very unkind to my characters and my readers, aren’t I? Just kind of kidnap you and throw you into the middle of something … haha! Lizzy

    Great book, just (*Spoiler*) Why wasn’t Kris aware why Gabe was at the sanctuary if he ordered the assassination? (*tried not to give too much away there*) Will this be answered in the third book? Also how come the book was not free on amazon.co.uk?
    I was happy to pay the tiny amount i did for your great work but was annoyed to find it free elsewhere.

      Muwahahahaha … yes, many mysteries. :-) Yes, your question will be answered in book 3! As for why it wasn’t free on Amazon UK … the short answer is: no one on the planet can figure out how and why Amazon does what it does. The long answer: as an indie author, I can’t make my books free myself when I upload them to Amazon. When and for how long they remain free appears to be something Amazon does on its own. They price match to the free versions I have on other websites – but only if and when they feel like it. I can’t explain it any better. For example, Damian’s Oracle has been free in the US for MONTHS. It goes free in the UK for about 4-6 weeks, falls off the free train, then hops back on. This doesn’t happen with any other of my novels – they go free for maybe 4 weeks, then they’re un-free again and rarely – if ever – hop back on the free train. My edistributor sends them everywhere but Amazon, and I can price them free when I go through the edistributor, except they don’t have a distribution agreement with Amazon. Soooo … I’m at the mercy of Amazon, and if you ask customer service to make your book free, they get very unhappy! The conspiracy theorist in me says Amazon won’t let all my books go free because I’m making them money, although my measly royalties (Amazon keeps 66%) don’t seem like much to them in the big picture. That was a bit convoluted. I really don’t know how else to explain the baffling issue … hahaha! I hope that … helps? clarifies? doesn’t make you run screaming away to find a new indie author to read? hahaha! Lizzy :-)

    I just love your books!! I just finished reading katie’s hellion it was great. I have a nook and tried to locate katie’s hope and it’s not on the BN site. Do you know where I can go to down load it? I also down loaded kieras moon last week and I looked on BN site and it was no longer there. Just glad I down loaded that one when I did

      Hi Lydia! Oy – I waited almost two weeks for BN to approve my account so I can upload my books directly to BN. I *hope* they’ll be on the Nook by the end of this week, but I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime, you should be able to download the ‘epub’ version from Smashwords, plug in your Nook to your computer, then manually drag-n-drop it to the Nook. Here’s the link to my books on Smashwords: click here and scroll to the bottom! So sorry – BN went wacky with my books when I released Kiera’s Moon, so I’m trying to get it corrected!!! Lizzy :-)

    I stumbled across your books about katie a rhyn by complete accident and fell in love. I love how you learn more about each character as it goes along, and that the story keeps you on the edge for your seat while at the same time parts make you feel sad for them. Cant wait for Rhyn’s redemption. Keep up the good work. Now im going to find your other books.

      Thank you, Natasha! I’m happy you’ve liked Katie and Rhyn. They’re an awesome couple to write about, just because the characters are so distinct and so well, conflicted. hahaha! Damian’ s Oracle is another fave for folks who have read the Rhyn trilogy. Thanks, and take care! Lizzy :-)
