We were introduced to Gale Knightley aka Knightingale, in The Scorched Sky. She was a 17 year old Brit who had come to Chicago with her friend Abi Blakely aka Reflex, to assist in repelling the Kriitani Incursion. 
Book 2 of the Femme Fatales series will be called The Broken Ground, and will time jump 10 years into the future. 

The Knightingale Novella will detail what Gale did during the intervening years. It’s out NOW!

Samantha Jayne (better known as Samii) is the hero known as Kasai. We met her in The Scorched Sky as she fought off the Kriitani Incursion from the top of the Jewellers Building in Chicago alongside Alex Anderson aka Rogue. She’s a voice artist who was in Chicago for a convention when the aliens struck, and rose to the challenge of defending the city using her fire control powers.
As mentioned above, Book 2 of the Femme Fatales series will be called The Broken Ground, and will time jump 10 years into the future. 

The Kasai Novella will detail what Samii did during the intervening years. It’ll also introduce an all-new Hero character!  Whaaaat?!  Yup.  I can’t wait for this one. The novella will be out late in 2023

Stefan McCloed AKA Coin, was introduced in The Scorched Sky and played a crucial role in the defeat of the Kriitani. 

Coin is NOT one of my own characters. 

He was created by my old friend, Steve Vimes when we used to play City of Heroes together. Steve is a budding author, and he is going to write a novella about the origin of the character, but set in the Universe I created for The Scorched Sky

I’m SUPER EXCITED about this collaboration, and what he’s going to bring to this world we’re now crafting together.
