His craggy face split into a smile. “Good, good. You may save us all, Lauren Hope.”
I glanced at Mathias who was teetering. “After I take him to see a doctor. Again.”
“Are Tens always such high maintenance,” he asked as I managed to get Mathias back to his feet.
I breathed a wry laugh. “This one just requires more supervision.”

Note from the Author
Around the start of the holiday season last fall as I was working my plots for the second half of Mathias and Lauren’s series, I was struck with the realization that Lauren was not just a Spotter. Then it occurred to me that not only was her father a high number but he was going to be one of the Jinn, which opened a fantastic resolution for Lauren’s arc over the course of the series. In the next book, Quests by Numbers, there will be more exploration of Lauren’s Jinn talent as she continues her journey. And also some more fun cameos from characters who just won’t stay in their own series.
Speaking of cameos, I hope you enjoyed seeing a familiar face in this story. I realized in December that The Therian Way and Rogue Spotter not only fit together, but it filled in so much worldbuilding. I’m currently in the process of updating the published Therian Way novels and novellas to reflect their new position in the Rogue Spotter universe. So in the middle of writing this book, Raina decided she wanted to meet Lauren and . . . well . . . Suddenly Raina happened. Just between us, I’m pretty sure she enjoyed it much more than Lauren did. I do have to admit that writing Lauren’s reactions to Raina being Raina was one of the funniest and best parts of this book. I just loved her gut reaction to Raina as Atalanta.
Timeline wise, I do have that mapped out and the Rogue Spotter series mostly occurs between The Therian Way books two and five. So you can expect to see some more crossovers and cameos by Therian Way characters in the next two Rogue Spotter books. Some other characters that appeared in this book will soon be starring in their own spinoff series, The Fae Billionaires, a clean paranormal billionaire romance series. Both this new series and the continuation of The Therian Way will begin launching in late April to early May, so keep an eye out for those.
My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped and/or encouraged me. I would not have been able to complete this story without you. Special thanks goes out to you, the readers, who have taken the time to get to know Lauren and Mathias on another adventure. I hope you have enjoyed it! Lauren and Mathias return in Quests by Numbers!
My favorite author-related meme on Facebook would have to be the one that says, “Feed an author! Write a review!” Reviews can be an author’s lifeline. I love hearing what readers think about my stories, my characters, and anything else you care to mention. It doesn’t have to be a long, detailed review. Just a few lines about the book will do. If you enjoyed Hunt by Numbers, please consider taking the time to leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads.

Threats by Numbers
Everyone has a number but only a few can see them. I’m one of those few. And now it might get me killed.
I’ve been in hiding all my life. Working as a secretary for a paranormal relocation and PR firm is quiet, simple, and above all filled with low numbers. But then I see a man who’s registering as a Ten — They aren’t supposed to exist. To make matters worse, he’s the firm’s new security specialist.
One incident changes everything. In protecting the firm, I’ve been exposed and now far bigger threats are closing in on me. Hunters who won’t stop until they’ve brought me down. I don’t know who to trust.
The most dangerous man I’ve ever met is offering protection. But trusting him might be the last thing I ever do.

Flight by Numbers
I put my trust in the most dangerous man alive. But going on the run with him might prove more deadly than what’s chasing me.
After a lifetime of hiding, I’ve been exposed and framed as a security threat by someone who runs Weard Enterprises, the most powerful security firm for paranormals and the rumored source of mercenaries. Everywhere I run, it seems higher numbers outnumber the low making it almost impossible to avoid detection. But there’s still only one Ten in my life…
Mathias has broken from Weard Enterprises and is helping me stay ahead of their hunters. But I can see something beneath his calm demeanor, something cold, and it wants out. As we race across Britain in an attempt to shake the hunters and reach a hiding place somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, I can’t help wondering — How long do I have before I’m running from Mathias too?
