Q:Why are the MacAllisters and Brotherhood books linked?
A:I originally had them all under the Brotherhood banner, but my editor wanted them done as separate series since the MacAllisters were a family. They are, however, one series and should be read together.
If you just want to read the MacAllister books, the reading order for them is:
Claiming the Highlander
Born in Sin
Taming the Scotsman
The Warrior
However, the characters in those books make appearances in the Brotherhood books, so to get the whole feel of the series, it's best to read them all.
Q: Is Kieran MacAllister a Dark-Hunter? And will you put him in a Dark-Hunter book? (Spoiler contained in the answer)
A: Not as easy to answer. I knew when I started the series that Kieran wasn't alive. But when I wrote the Warrior, I couldn't bring myself to end the book with him dead. So I cheated a bit and yes, he's technically a Dark-Hunter.
Will he make an appearance in that series? Depends on my publishers. Since there are two different houses who publish the series, I have to get their permission to blur those lines.
Q: Will there be anymore MacAllister books?
A: We're really out of them. They were only five brothers. We still have the Scot whose book I plan to do eventually, but other than Kieran's son, we're running low on them :)
Q: Do the books have to be read in order?
A: Absolutely not. As with all my series, they have recurring characters and do refer to events in past books, but each one is written with new readers in mind. So if you pick up in the middle of the series or skip around, you won't miss anything.
