Being obsessed with the Katie Chandler series at the moment (what can I say, I have a crush on "Owen") I went to her website earlier today (http://www.shannaswendson.com/index.html) to read about Book 5 (whether there will be one etc) and found this ...
Will There Be A Book Five (or more)?
I have a Book 5 planned and even partially written, and a few random ideas for what should come after that. Unfortunately, my publisher currently doesn't have plans to publish that book. It boils down to numbers, and the sales for the third book are far enough below those for the first book (which is still selling steadily, which makes it hard to catch up) that the spreadsheets that extrapolate potential book 5 sales say it's not worthwhile to publish that book. This could change if sales of books 3 and 4 pick up, if the movie gets made or if some other lightning strikes. I'm optimistic and stubborn, and I haven't given up yet. The best thing you can do to help make book 5 happen is to make sure all those people you got hooked on the series have moved on to the last two books. You can also keep spreading the word about the whole series and request the books at your local library (libraries will often pay attention to patron requests for books to purchase).
So I thought I'd help Shanna out ... selfishly because there HAS to be a book 5. So if you are after a good chick lit book with a magical twist, why not check out "Enchanted, Inc".
The synopsis from Goodreads:
Katie Chandler had always heard that New York is a weird and wonderful place, but this small-town Texas gal had no idea how weird until she moved there. Everywhere she goes, she sees something worth gawking at and Katie is afraid she’s a little too normal to make a splash in the big city. Working for an ogre of a boss doesn’t help. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Katie gets a job offer from Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., a company that tricks of the trade to the magic community. For MSI, Katie’s ordinariness is an asset. Lacking any bit of magic, she can easily spot a fake spell, catch hidden clauses in competitor’s contracts, and detect magically disguised intruders. Suddenly, average Katie is very special indeed. She quickly learns that office politics are even more complicated when your new boss is a real ogre, and you have a crush on the sexy, shy, ultra powerful head of the R&D department, who is so busy fighting an evil competitor threatening to sell black magic on the street that he seems barely to notice Katie. Now it’s up to Katie to pull off the impossible: save the world and–hopefully–live happily ever after.
I'd LOVE to hear what you think to this series if you do pick it up!
Spread the word!!!!!!
