William Hawk was born into a family with vengeance rather than blood flowing in his veins. Against all odds, he transformed himself from pauper to Lord of Hawksridge. He became a smuggler, king’s ally, and ruthless businessman. But he had flaws as well as triumphs.
It was those flaws that ruined his inheritance. Those flaws that saved him from himself. Those flaws that brought him the greatest wealth of all.
Her.

There are a few things I’d like to say now this series is complete. One, thank you for reading with me. For following Jethro and Nila through six books (really seven with the Epilogue) and (hopefully) enjoying their tale. As you’ve noticed, there is a lot of backstory and a rich world beyond their lives. I deliberately concentrated on Jethro and Nila’s side of the story, so as not to get too confusing.
However, the longer I wroteIndebted,the more the past wanted to be told.
After writing Mabel and William’s side when Cut is in the mine with Nila, it’s made me want to revisit the beginning and truly dive deeper into the trials and hardships endured by both sides.
Indebted Beginnings will follow William as he builds Hawksridge, sets up an empire, and falls into his own pitfalls of life. I don’t have a release date yet but can’t wait to write his tale and answer any other questions you have about the series.
Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about other things.
The stabbing with Daniel and the knitting needle.
Believe it or not, that is based on a true fact. In my family line—I won’t say if it’s my lineage or my husband’s side—a wife killed her husband using a knitting needle. She was tried and convicted of manslaughter after a long case of confusion. The puncture to his heart was barely noticeable and most doctors back then thought it was a heart attack. (Just in case you thought that wasn’t possible, it’s based on fact.)
There are also a few other things in the story that are real. I, myself, suffer from vertigo. Not nearly as bad as Nila, but I know first-hand what her symptoms are like.
Now, onto the acknowledgments.
Thank you so much to Amy K Jones for being so likeminded as me. Yaya for being so honest. Tamicka for laying her thoughts out so concisely. Melissa for printing off Final Debt and reading in paper form. Vickie for keeping me going with awesome messages. Skye for being my daily writing partner for overtwo years. The ladies in FUNK who are the most inspiring bunch of women I know. Lisa for arranging my blog tours and handling PR. Kellie for the epic boxed set covers for Indebted. Ari for the awesome single covers for Indebted. Celesha for making some incredible teasers for this series. Jenny for her quick editing skills. Ellen for her fast proofreading. Erica for her eagle-eye proofreading. Selena for running my groups and my life so well. Katrina for her wealth of industry titbits and knowledge. My husband for sticking with me and encouraging me to write even when the beginning was rocky. And to every reader who gave this saga a try and enjoyed—to every reader who gave it a try and didn’t. To every blogger, reviewer, friend, and confidant. Your messages and help and kindness truly make my life so much more rounded and happy.
I know I’ve forgotten people but my brain always goes on the fritz when doing these acknowledgements, hence why I don’t do them often anymore as I’m terrified of leaving people out.
Lastly, I thought I’d answer a few questions that had been asked over the past year while writing the Indebted Series. Now that it’s finished, I can shed light on any last minute questions and spend a little longer in the Indebted world.
Do you love knowing that you reach your fans on such a deep level when they read your books?
Yes, I’m beyond awed that I’m able to create an emotional response through words. I’m constantly grateful for messages saying they truly felt a scene or character. Nothing means more to me than that.
Will we get spinoff stories/prequel to this AMAZING series?
Yes,Indebted Beginningswill be released soon (no date as yet) and I might do a few more if the story strikes me. The history is very rich and a lot of avenues to explore.
Who did you vision as Nila and Jethro?
I don’t have an actor or actress in mind at the moment. But if you have someone in mind, email me and show me.
Who was your favourite character to bring alive? Who did you hate most?
My favourite was definitely Jethro as he had such a multifaceted character to bring out. Hate? Hard to tell because even if the characters were evil in the book, their strong opinions made it easy to write. I guess...Daniel was the hardest as I actually felt sorry for him and how he was treated.
Will there be audio books coming?
Yes, these are being created as we speak and will be out in early 2016, you can listen to a snippet HERE
Will you do signed paperbacks of this series?
