Six Months, Three Books, and Half a Million Words with Anna and Kincade

This feels a little surreal.

Immortal Everlasting went up for preorder, which means Anna and Kincade’s next—and final—War of the Brotherhood book is officially out in the world. Not finished quietly on my computer. Not tucked away in a folder while I keep tinkering with sentences and pretending I’m not emotionally compromised by these characters.

Out there.

Real.

Clickable.

And I have a lot of feelings about that.

I started writing the War of the Brotherhood trilogy in mid-December 2025. On June 22, 2026, I typed THE END on book three.

That means I wrote an entire trilogy in roughly six months.

Three books. One war. One broken, dangerous, devoted immortal warrior. One dream walker who has survived far more than anyone should ever have to survive. One love story that refused to let go of me until I followed it all the way to the end.

And honestly?

I’m still not sure I’ve recovered.

By the time I reached the end of Immortal Everlasting, I realized I hadn’t just spent six months writing a trilogy. I had spent eight books with Anna and Kincade. Probably close to half a million words, maybe more, walking beside them from their first dangerous meeting to the place where the story finally demanded its ending.

That is not a casual relationship with fictional people.

That is living with them.

That is hearing Anna’s sarcasm in my head while I’m making coffee. That is knowing exactly how Kincade would stand in a doorway, arms crossed, silently judging everyone’s security procedures. That is understanding what wounds they hide, what promises they keep, what makes them laugh, what terrifies them, and what they will burn the world down to protect.

When I first met Anna Walker, she was guarded, lonely, and certain she could survive best if she survived alone. She had sharp edges for good reason. She used humor like armor. She did not trust easily, and she absolutely did not want anyone telling her what to do.

Then Kincade walked into her life.

And of course, he started by telling her what to do.

He was supposed to be dangerous. A problem. A man with too many secrets and far too much authority. But somewhere along the way, he became something else. Not softer, exactly—Kincade will never be soft in the traditional sense—but steadier. More open. More vulnerable in the only way a warrior like him could be.

He became hers.

And Anna became his.

Their story has never been simple. It has been full of demons, relics, angels, betrayal, death, resurrection, war, and impossible choices. They have hurt each other. Protected each other. Saved each other. Challenged each other. Chosen each other over and over again, even when the choosing cost them something.

That, more than anything, is why I love them.

Not because their love is easy.

Because it isn’t.

I love them because their love survives the dark. Because it grows in the middle of war. Because it becomes an anchor when everything else is falling apart.

Writing the War of the Brotherhood trilogy was intense in a way I don’t think I fully understood while I was in it. I was drafting through holidays, deadlines, day job exhaustion, event prep, release planning, and all the regular chaos of life. But the books kept pulling me forward.

Anna and Kincade were not done.

Silas walked in with secrets and weapons. Ophelia and Ludwig brought tension, banter, and their own emotional complications. Gremlin arrived with his glorious chaos. Grace kept feeding everyone because, frankly, someone had to. The manor filled with people who stayed, fought, argued, healed, and became something bigger than a team.

They became a family built in the aftermath of survival.

And at the heart of it all were Anna and Kincade, trying to figure out what it means to love someone when the world keeps demanding sacrifice.

That is what Immortal Everlasting is for me.

It is the end of a war.

It is the reckoning.

It is the book where the final pieces come due.

But it is also the book about what remains after the fighting. What love looks like when the armor comes off. What it means to choose peace when you’ve spent so long preparing for battle.

Typing THE END on this book was not like finishing any other manuscript.

It felt like closing a door very gently because the people on the other side mattered too much to slam it.

I cried. Of course I cried.

How could I not?

I have loved these characters for years. I have put them through hell—sometimes literally—and watched them claw their way back to each other every time. I have asked them to be brave, broken, stubborn, tender, furious, loyal, and impossible.

They gave me everything.

And now readers get the final piece of this part of their journey.

If you’ve been with Anna and Kincade since Call of the Dark, thank you. Truly. Thank you for walking through every shadow, every battle, every heartbreak, and every hard-won moment of joy with them.

If you’re new to the Dream Walker world, welcome. You have one epic, dangerous, romantic road ahead of you.

And if you’re waiting for Immortal Everlasting, just know this:

I wrote this book with my whole heart.

Anna and Kincade deserved nothing less.

Immortal Everlasting is now available for preorder. The end begins now.
