Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Natalie. This one has been delayed until 2023 unfortunately. Sorry! You might want to check out Willow Creek, which is an Amish themed forbidden love story for new adults. Happy reading!
Karen Ann Hopkins I once lived in a haunted house. Does that count?
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Linda,
I hate that Eternity hasn't been picked up by Audible. The best thing you can do is contact Audible and let them know that you've enjoyed listening to the the Wings of War series and are anxiously waiting for Eternity to be added to the list. Fingers crossed it happens soon. Thanks for reaching out! Sorry it took so long.
Karen Ann Hopkins Journey, the 5th book in the Temptation series is slated for release winter 2021/22. I'm excited to return to Meadowview!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hello, sorry for the late response. Standouts this year were: The Hour of the Witch by Bohjalian, Lisa Jewell's Then She Was Gone & The Silence by Susan Allcott. All were excellent reads!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Linda,
I wish Audible was, but at this time, it's not in the works. You can help make it happen by contacting Audible and telling the company that you love the Wings of War series and are hoping for Eternity's audible experience to be available. Thanks for listening! :)
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Martine! Thanks for reading my books. I'm glad you're enjoying them. If you read the Wings of War series, there is actually a part in the second book, GAIA, set in an Amish community. I plan to write a couple more books in Serenity's Plain Secrets and a fifth book in the Temptation series. When I've completed those series I have ideas for new stories. Enjoy the holiday season!

Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Sandra! So sorry for the late response. I haven't spent a lot of time on Goodreads lately. But to answer your question, YES, a toboggan is a type of hat in Whispers. It can also be a sled. It's a regional thing here in the US. Some people refer to the word as a hat or sled. I grew up in upstate NY and use the word for both. I'm excited to say the 5th book in the series, PAPER ROSES, will be available in October! Let me know if you'd like free e-book copy for review! Best way to reach me is to message on FB, Instagram or Twitter.
Karen Ann Hopkins Hello Karina! Sorry for the late response and thanks for the question. I love many aspects of the Amish lifestyle and dislike a lot more. But the one thing that I really enjoy the most are the horses. I'm a horse enthusiast and I appreciate the close working relationships the Amish have with their horses and how they're such a pivotal part of their culture.
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Violet! Sorry for the late response. YES, the fourth and final book in the series, ETERNITY, will be available early 2018! Thanks for reading!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Vicki! Sorry for the late response. Yes, Hidden in Plain Sight is available in e-book and audio formats. Look for PAPER ROSES, the newest book in the series, in October! Thanks for reading!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hello, Kristen! Sorry for the late response. YES, there will be a 5th book in the series! JOURNEY will be available in 2018. Also, more exciting news is that all the books in the series will be released in August with new covers. The new editions have some changes that fans will pick up on and enjoy. Thanks for reading!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Shelley! Sorry for the late response. Your question is great. I'm currently working on the fourth and final book in the series, ETERNITY. The Wings of War is very much about the grey areas of everything, from human nature to biblical scripture. Ember can not take on God, nor does she want to. She's caught up in the end of times. You'll have to read ETERNITY to see how she handles the apocalypse, the reemergence of the angels and the evil spreading across the world. Look for ETERNITY in 2018!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hello Susan! Sorry to get back to you so late! I've been busy moving and writing and haven't been on Goodreads in a while. There are a lot of websites to get information about therapy and rescue horses, but "hands on" experience is the best. See if there are any riding stables in your area that might let you volunteer. Your writing will be much more authentic if you interact with horses and horse people. Good luck!
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Kathryn! YES! Paper Roses, the 5th book in the series, will be out in October of 2017! I'll be doing the cover reveal in September (:
Karen Ann Hopkins Hi Genevieve! Thank you for reading the series! I'm excited to announce that ETERNITY, the 4th book in the series, will be out during the first half of 2018.
