First, I flipping loved The Midnight Bargain!! Ace representation makes my heart do all the dancing! My question is... What does FPO mean at the start of each chapter?!?!

C.L. Polk I don't know what it means, and I don't see that in any of the current editions of the book. What edition do you have, and from where did you buy it?

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed Witchmark. It was mentioned on one of my reading sites on FB and I ordered it from my library not knowing much about it. It drew me in from the very beginning and I loved every minute of it. Thank you so much from southern Vancouver Island! Love southern Alberta, honeymooned camping in Cypress Hills Park loooong ago. Have you been there?

C.L. Polk I have never been to Cypress Hills Park! Alberta is *stunning* and I enjoy my travels in the province but I'm more likely to spend time in nature, feel refreshed, and then go back to an actual roof over my head. preferably with a walk-in shower and a good restaurant.

But geographically, nature-wise, my heart-home is standing in the middle of a cathedral of cedar and fir in British Columbia.

This question contains spoilers... (view spoiler)

C.L. Polk First of all may I express my delight that this sparked your imagination?

Secondly I might owe your curiosity an apology. There are answers to your questions, but they are truly deep lore involving the history of the Solace and are tightly wound up with the Amaranthines. When I had originally dreamed this story up the Amaranthines and the Solace had their own things going on and I had thought that I was going to finish the series in the Solace itself, but when it came to the actual work of writing and structuring a trilogy, I had to regretfully let that idea go.

the things you picked up are all connected to the Amaranthine side of the story, and I really want to drag you all along for a high fantasy epic set there...somehow!

The Midnight Bargain was a delightful riot to read. Will you be writing another book in this series?

C.L. Polk I originally intended The Midnight Bargain to be a standalone book when I wrote it, but I have been thinking about writing another book in the world because I enjoyed it so much!

Kudos on THE MIDNIGHT BARGAIN, Beatrice was feisty and strong! I have recommended the book to a former student of mine who could have been a role model for Beatrice. Keep up the good work. And NO there isn't a question here?

C.L. Polk That's perfectly all right! Thank you for your not a question!

Enjoyed reading the 2 books of the Kingston Cycle. Will there be a continuation of the Kingston Cycle? If yes, when?

C.L. Polk Hello, and I am so sorry i didn't answer this before, and for the silliest reason - I had all my notifications turned off!

As you probably know already, no thanks to me, Soulstar will be available on February 16, 2021.
