The Oracle's Current was just accepted for publishing by NSP, who will release it as an ebook available at all your favorite retailers. You will be able to buy it on Amazon and NSP's site, although I can't estimate a potential release date at this time. Keep an eye on my blog http://melleightsblog.weebly.com/ as more information becomes available for The Oracle's Current and the entire Oracle Series.

All of my books are slowly being republished with NineStar Press. Ground of Resurrection is scheduled to be released this year, but I do not yet have a firm release date. When Resurrection comes out, it will be available on NSP's site and all major retailers so you can buy it from your preferred seller.

The Oracle series is in a bind. I haven't yet found a publisher willing to take the content in the first book, so until then it will remain unpublished. I hope to figure out a solution sometime in the near future, but there's so much still to do for all of my stories that this series has been pushed to the back burner for the moment. If you keep an eye on all my social media, I will post when I do have news for this and all my stories.

The Oracle Series has not ended. The next book is The Sentinel's Prophesy, which will be released in a few months (date yet to be determined). After that is The Oracle's Current, which I am working on right now. Current will be the last book in the series.

I'm glad to know you enjoyed my dragons! Unfortunately, my Dragon's Hoard series is complete in five books. Gathering the Hoard is the last of the extras for the series. However, if you like my dragons, feel free to check out my Supernatural Consultant series instead: http://melleightfiction.weebly.com/su...

I love my Dragon's Hoard series too! Thanks so much for reading.
A dragon starts their hoard when they hatch with their hatching gem. That gem is the first and most important piece in their hoard.
It used to be harder to get sparklies. Dragons were quite proficient in mining way back when, but in current times they don't have to dig for gems any longer. So many dragons died in the war and their hoards have been slowly claimed by other dragons. If there is a gem that no dragon wants, someone might sell it for some coin. Sometimes the castle would gift Eldest with a gem or a statue as a token of their continued alliance.
Also, if you remember from the books, sometimes an older dragon will gift a part of their hoard to a younger.
Tori is a special case because he gets an allowance from the castle. Most dragons take a few hundred years to amass a decently sized hoard.
I hope I was able to answer your questions.

I am so happy to hear you enjoyed Ge-Mi! I am still writing Part Two, so it will unfortunately be a while before it's ready for release. Feel free to check my current projects page for the most up-to-date information on how Part Two is going: http://melleightfiction.weebly.com/cu...

Lumie's story begins in Dragon Spy, the sixth book in the series. Spy has been accepted for publishing at LT3, but I don't yet know when it will be released. You'll learn a lot more about Lumie in Spy.

It's so nice to know you enjoyed reading Ge-Mi: Part One. There will be more. I am working on writing Part Two right now. I don't have a time frame for when Part Two will be completed, but I do try to work on it as much as I can.

This is a difficult question to answer. At the moment, no, I don't have any concrete plans to continue Bloody Kiss. However, I really do like the world I created for that short story. I particularly like the magic the witches use and the dynamic between the vampires. I would love to write another story in the world.
The contract for Bloody Kiss expires in two years and my hope is to resubmit it as a sort of book one/prequel and write a second story set in that world with different main characters.

I've played with the timeline a bit in The Oracle's Sprite, book four of the Oracle Series. Most of the story is set in present time, a few months after the end of The Oracle's Golem, but there are also some flashbacks to when Egan and Edan were still Princes.
They are not in The Oracle's Golem, as you surmised. Golem is focused on the Monastery. We return to Altnoia in Sprite.

I am still hoping to finish putting together my Dragon's Hoard short stories collection. There will be at least two Tori and Jerney stories in there, including one when Tori reaches 50. There won't be another full book, but I promise the short stories will satisfy. I just have to finish writing them first!
