Frequently Asked Questions
Karen Lynch
Q: How many books will be in the Relentless series?
A: Seven. The series is complete.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for Relentless?
A: I actually had a dream one night that gave me the idea for the book. Once the story evolved in my head and on paper, the dream scene never made it into the book. I did like that scene so I've saved it to use somewhere else.
Q: What kind of books do you like to read?
A: I like some of the classics and Jane Eyre is my absolute favorite. But when I'm chilling out, I like to read paranormal stories with a strong female lead and a good romance. One of my favorite series is the Rylee Adamson series by Shannon Mayer. Rylee is totally badass. I also like a heroine who can make me laugh. For that reason, I love Elle Casey's books. Some of her heroines crack me up and nothing feels better than a good laugh. For a list of some of my favorite YA books, check out my recommendations page.
Q: I've written a book. Can you read it and tell me what you think of it?
A: Due to my heavy work schedule, I don't read books from people I don't know. I have a small circle of author friends whose books I beta read, but I don't have time for anything beyond that.
Q: I love your characters and the world you've created. Is it ok if I use the Mohiri in my book if I use different characters?
A: I'm flattered, but I can't allow any of the characters, races or creatures I've created to be used in other books because it would confuse readers. My work is copyrighted against this.
Q: Are you working on a new series?
A: Yes. I am currently working on the Fae Games trilogy. It is a YA Urban Fantasy series that is completely unrelated to the Relentless series.
Q: Will you have Relentless made into a movie?
A: I wish this was up to me but it is not. A producer must show interest in your film rights and even then, there is a lot that must happen for a movie to be made. We can always hope.
