READING ORDER
Do you have reading order for your Dark Romance titles?
1. Monsters in the Dark (to meet Q and Tess)
2. Indebted Series (to meet Nila and Jethro (tiny introduction to Sully Sinclair from Goddess Isles and tiny cameo of Arthur Killian from Ruin and Rule)
3. Dollar Series (to meet Elder and Pim (tiny mention of Q at the end))
4. Goddess Isles (to meet Sully and Eleanor (cameos of all heroes at some point in the story Q, Jethro, Elder are mentioned or appear. Tess and Pim are also mentioned))
5. Ruby Tears will release in 2024 and follows Q’s half-brother, Henri
Do you have a reading order for your other titles?
Nope! Whatever takes your fancy. My other Dark Romance trilogy, Fable of Happiness can be read at any point. You’ll meet Kas and Gem. The Pure Corruption Duet does have mention of Jethro and Hawksridge Hall as you follow Arthur Killian’s story but it’s not important to his tale.
I have two forbidden, coming of age duets that follow decades of heart aches, triumphs, and life. There are The Ribbon Duet and The Luna Duet. The Ribbon Duet comes with warning of being a LOVE STORY not a romance. The Luna Duet is a romance. Both are steamy and angsty as hell.
SIGNING EVENTS
Are you signing at all in any country?
The answer to this question is always hard to explain but no, not at this point. The reason for that is I have an amazing special needs little bunny who can’t do without me. I love him to death and can’t leave him at this stage.
SIGNED PAPERBACKS & SWAG
Are you offering signed paperbacks & swag?
I’m slowly opening some website exclusive editions on my website under the ‘SHOP’ tab. These will start coming online in 2024. They will be only available from http://www.pepperwinters.com and come with a signed bookplate and especially commissioned artwork. There is also the option just to buy the signed bookplates and audio books are launched early and at discounted prices. Check it out!
WHAT ABOUT WHEN A MOTH LOVED A BEE?
I wish I had a short answer for when I’ll release the next book in the Destini Chronicles world. I wish I could wrap up the story in a short little novella and call it done. I wish I could do a number of things but…instead of trying to keep my answer simple, here is the long version.
Destini Chronicles mean a lot to me. It’s very nuanced, complex, and complicated the deeper I get into the story. When I started writing it, I got a few opinions on the tale and started to lose my vision. I rewrote When a Moth Loved a Bee 5 times and tossed out almost 200,000 words before settling on the 200,000 that I published. It was a labour of love and definitely not enjoyment at that point. Unfortunately, the world is so big that it was destined to be a seven book series. I even have the covers, and, seeing as they might never see the light of day, I might as well share them so here they are:
My long answer to where is the next book in this series is….it’s coming, but I can’t give a date of when. It might be a few months from now, it might be a few years. It all depends on when I get the strength to go back into that world and fix the errors that need to be fixed. Because the world is so big, it’s not a simple matter of doing a short novella to tie up the loose ends as those ends are numerous. I’m highly aware that is very frustrating (believe me, I’m frustrated too) but I have to decide if I’m going to write a second final edition that will be just as long as When a Moth Loved a Bee is and takes a year to write–or if I’m going to continue with my original vision of the seven book series.
Either way, I apologise for the delay and have not forgotten Runa and Darro and will ONE DAY provide a conclusion, even if that conclusion isn’t the one I wanted to deliver. I’ll post more about this series when I have more updates. Thank you for your understanding and please know that I didn’t do this deliberately, I write from the heart and if my heart is broken over a series then it takes time to heal and go back to it. x
Will the rest of the indebted series be available on kindle?
Yes, they will. Barnes and Noble, Google Play, Kobo, iBooks, and Amazon 🙂 Just closer to the release date. x
Thank you. I love your books your such a talented writer. Can’t wait for the next indebted book!!
Your books are inspiring! They way you portray your female characters – strong, bold, and courageous really inspires me. So, thanks 🙂
I just wanted to let your know that your books are freakin’ amazing! I’ve only just discovered you but I read the first two indebted books very quickly and while waiting for the third I started reading the monsters in the dark trilogy and I cannot put it down! Your characters are complex, with crazy hot chemistry and I think I’m now in love with Q, he’s perfection. I don’t usually like female leads very much as they tend to be weak and annoying but Tess has such an unbelievable strength about her. I will be very sad to finish this trilogy and I just wanted to say that you can’t ever stop writing!! I will buy everything you release! Very much looking forward to your future work 🙂
Thank you so much, Ell!! I love everything about this message. x
When does Last Shadow come out?
Last Shadow is delayed currently. I’m so sorry. I hope to have more information toward the end of the year xxxxx
Hiii!! i just want to tell you how much i love your work… my first one was indebted and i simply loved it! to the extent i read whole of the first and second debt in about two days and am simply in love with Jethro~! desperately waiting for the other three now!! then i read destroyed and it did not disappoint me either. i fell in love with all the characters. it obviously made me want to read your monsters in the dark series now. So i have started with tears of tess and would like to know the significance of the chapters names? i have read few chapters and was just wondering what do these chapters names signify really?
Also I would like to say keep writing and all the best for your future books!! 🙂
aww thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re enjoying my work. The bird names will make sense when you know who Q is 🙂 Toward the end xxx
I just read your last book released in the Indebted series. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Jethro CANNOT be dead!!! I was dumbfounded by the way it ended. I re-read the last couple of chapters again to find hints if there were clues that Jethro was not dead, and came up blank. The next day I was still thinking about it and am hoping this series has a hopeful, positive ending where somehow Jethro is still alive. It is going to be hard to have to wait for the next book to get the answers. It amazes me how this last book left an emotional imprint on me still days after reading it.
🙂 Trust me 🙂 lol <3 <3 I'm so grateful that you're following their journey x
I’m a young writer (that reads and writes things way beyond her maturity level, but let’s ignore that) and I have to say that you are one of my favorite authors 🙂 Every time I read (or re-read for the millionth time) any of your books, it makes me want to get my ass into gear and start typing!!! If anyone asks how to get over writers block, my response is always, “Read one of Pepper Winters books. Don’t ask questions, just do it. Now.” Works every time!!!
P.S. Just finished Third Debt. It took me about 20 minutes to restart my heart. You are absolutely killing me with these cliffhangers.
Oh you’re amazing. Thank you so much!!! 🙂 All the best with your own writing. xxxxxx
You are a great author and I love your Indebted books, but killing off Jethro and Kes in the last book broke my heart, I am cancelling my pre-order of the next book as I can’t read what those animals will do to Nila without Jethro. The first 3 books had me downloading the next in anticipation as I was enthralled to what happened next, but I will never be able to download a series of your books again if such a sorrowful outcome is the same. No ending to a book has shattered my heart as this since reading the boy in the stripped Pajamas, and your books are pure fiction.
All I’ll say Amanda is don’t rob yourself of a reading experience if you enjoyed the others in the series. Trust Me as an author
Okay, first thing first. Jethro and kes incident is making me crazy. Tragedy is my least favourite and after reading this book I am in huge emotional crisis. I always start to cry when some one is dead but after reading what happend to Jethro and Kes I felt nothing happened. I didn’t even get the feeling of sadness and mourning. Because I feel and think that there must be some secret of Jet and Kes being dead. My instincts tells me that, Jet and Kes is not death and waiting for perfect chance of suspense. So, please Winter tell me this is true and they are not dead because I will go insane . I love this Indebted series so much and huge fan of yours. I will always cheer for your writing.
Will the Indebted series be released in a box set once they’re all published, or will I need to buy them all separately?
Not at this stage xx
I’m nearly to the end of the Indebted series and I’ll hate it that it’s over, although I’m still hoping for a happy-ever-after for Nila and Jethro. Incredible series, so many twists and turns, plus it’s HOT! Nicely done Ms. Winters…can’t wait to start the Q series. And waiting for the end of Jan. and the second MC book. Love, love, love all I’ve read! More, please!
Will there be more nooks on the Pure Corruption MC series? If so, how many and will there be a crossover to the Indebted series?
Hi, Pepper! Do you have an update on the release of the Audiobooks for Monsters in the Dark series?
