YES! There will be a Curse Keepers book #4! And also a #5 and #6.
I’m getting some feedback that readers feel deceived by the “trilogy” label on the Curse Keeper series, when the series isn’t ending. I never intended the series to be a trilogy.
I planned on writing least six books in the Curse Keeper series, possibly more. 47North was well aware of this. I sold them the first three books and three short stories. The original synopsis for book three ended with a very unsatisfying ending for a series. So I wrote the first two books and a short story before I was aware that the book was being called a trilogy. That’s right. I found out AFTER I wrote THE CURSE BREAKERS, book #2.
I’ll be extremely honest. This put me in a very difficult situation. I had a whole lot of loose ends that needed to be tied up to create a satisfying conclusion to the “trilogy.” At the same time, I had no intention of tying them all up. Once I wrapped my head around the idea of a trilogy, I realized I could make this work. I had to. I didn’t have any choice in the matter.
The next question I get is when will book four be released? The simplest answer is that I’m not sure yet. All my other books are self-published. I’m used to publishing what I want, when I want. But once you add a publisher into the mix, it’s no longer that easy. They have rules that have to be followed. (See the above paragraphs.) I CAN say that the very soonest you will see the next Curse Keeper book will be Summer 2015, but there’s a chance it could be October 2015. As soon as I can share the information, I’ll post it here on the blog portion of my website as well as this page.
In the meantime, I have one more contracted release with 47North in the Curse Keeper world– a prequel short story from Collin’s POV titled “This is Your Destiny.” It will be out January 20, 2015. It’s available for preorder here. (Note: at the current time, the Curse Keepers series is Amazon exclusive.)
Any update on new Curse Keeper books?
Any idea when the 4th installment of the Curse Keeper series will be released?
Just finished reading The Curse Keepers Collection. Was disappointed to be left hanging with no ending to the story. It’s a whole year past when you thought the next book would be done. Any updates as to when or if there will be a Book 4?
Any ideas when the 4th book will be released ???
Looking for Book 4, pretty please~Any updatE?

Ok it’s 2018 and I just read the Curse Keepers series. Where is book #4. I wish I would have seen all the chatter before I started the series. I would not have read it if I knew you weren’t going to finish the series
The Curse Keepers has continued with a spin-off series that has these characters innit. The first book is Of Ash and Spirit.
Does that mean there will not be an Ellie POV sequel to Curse Defiers?
Will there still be a four? Like all the other readers I would like to know before I go and read any spin offs. I think you should finish what you started before you work on spin offs, it doesn’t seem very fair to your readers.
Yes, there will be more Curse Keeper books with Ellie, Collin, and David, but I assure you, it’s nearly impossible to market a book four of a series that is owned and controlled by another publisher. I’m not going to release a book four only to watch sell like crap. So I wrote a spinoff series to drive new readers to the next set of Ellie Lancaster books. And for what it’s worth, Ellie, Collin and David are IN the second Piper Lancaster book and Ellie’s POV starts off the third Piper book, Of Blood and Monsters, which releases in October.
Any news on book 4? Like everyone else I need more. And not just a spin off
The curse keepers continue in the Piper Lancaster series. Ellie and Collin have POVs in both Of Blood and Monsters and the upcoming fourth book, Of Death and Ruin, which will be the final book for both series.
