Strange Fate Preview
This is an excerpt that shows how Ash Redfern (who has been alerted by Aradia, the Maiden of the Witches, that the Apocalypse, due nearly a year ago and forgotten now by most, is actually going to come) begins to rescue the NIGHT WORLD soulmate couples from the enemies who, for unknown reasons, are targeting the youngest generation of Harmans and Redferns. Ash’s last rescue will be of Mary-Lynnette, and will appear in the book, so the story Those Who Favor Fire will be finished in STRANGE FATE (which I hope to finish this calendar year). – L. J.

this book is going to be amazing!!!!!!
Your fan,
Kate
authors who write epics like this will be do have large gaps between books, i'd personally prefer to wait for a quality book thats over a thousand pages, than have a new book out every year that uses so much repetetive filler material that its 400 pages really equal 50.
In these previews, Sarah Strange was going to dream about Brionwy and Crispy in a post apocalyptic World. These dreams turned into their own story which is going to be a separate book called The Last Lullaby.
For a sneak peek of The Last Lullaby go here http://74.220.217.129/www/stories/sneak-peeks/54-brionwys-lullaby
Lisa answers many interesting questions and gives a synopsis of The Last Lullaby here http://74.220.217.129/www/images/stories/downloads/LJaneSmith_OverTwoDozenThingsYouNeverKnewAbout_LJSMITH.pdf
In Strange Fate, Sarah will instead dream of Ash rescuing the soulmate couples. I hope I've cleared things up for you.
Since you are new to the website, I'd like to invite you to join the Forum. There are lots of fun discussions, games, polls, etc. There is also a whole section where Lisa visits to answer fan questions. I hope to see you there.
-Thank you Lisa for such a wonderful preview!
This extract just leaves me burning for more! I really really hope you can get Strange Fate done by the end of the year!
I loved it it was amazing it really had me going crazy for a second there.

"Poppy was completely with her soulmate,now,an d she felt James realize that even in death couldn't pry them apart.They would die as Poppy and James, and entity that was far more than the sum of two individuals."
I love your night world books. I was hooked when I pick the first one up. I am so excited to find out the end of the series. I am look forward to read your latest work. I wait with baited breath. Keep writing what I think is the best quality writing for YA books. This is funny coming from a 42 year old woman who you have hooked with your writing. Thanks again for your great work
Other sites sometimes put up dates as a place holder. Keep checking back on this site for accurate publication dates.
Wait... wait... wait... must... endure!

Don't you gouys?
Another example would the third book to VD, which made me cry my eyes out. In all honesty though I think you should have ended the way you intended to and not given into the fans, even if I was one of the fans upset with the ending. You're such an amazing writer, I hope someday I can touch people with my words as your words have touched me.
I have been waiting 15 years for the last book having been an avid fan as a teen. I would very much like to finish the series as I enjoyed it so much when I was young. Are you actually planning on updating a release date? It is absurd that I even still wonder about it. Btw Barnes and noble have the release year as 2030.
Still ridiculously hoping that this book will get written and published in my lifetime.
Miss Smith also went through a personal health issues and was under contract to write TVD with deadlines when she resurfaced in 2009. Since TVD was a "work for hire" in a package book deal, she didn't own the rights and had to get the books done when they told her too. If she wouldn't have done that, she could have lost TVD earlier than she did. When Harper/Alloy pulled that evil business with removing her from the series and giving them to ghostwriters, it devastated her and took her awhile to rebound from the loss. When she did recover, she no longer had contractual road blocks preventing her from working on Strange Fate. She has been actively working on it for about 2 yrs now.
i love the night world series and dont want it to end. i also love he vampire diaries.
i'm also waiting for the book and i'm desperately looking for it anywhere possibly it could be,but i can't find any. i've tried thru the net and some bookstores. but it's okay because i still don't have money of my own yet..
I've been waiting ages to read Strange Fate, something like 5 years? I cannot recall. This is so amazing! I can't wait to read Strange Fate and what happens during the Millenium and everyone in the stories!!!
Night World, Vol. 1 was the first novel I ever read. This series made me fall in love with reading. I was 12 when I finished reading Witch light.I need closure. How does this wonderful series end? What happens to the soulmates? When is strange fate releasing? I'm 17 now and I still can't get over this series. I am a huge fan of your other creations as well, the vampire diaries. Gosh! Waiting to hear from you eagerly!
Can LJ Smith, please give usfans an update of what is happening please!!!! I have searched every book store in me area asking if they know. I even got family on the other side of the world to look. but no one knows anything about it. PLEASE PLEASE give us some update of why it is not out yet or give us a REAL estimated release date (not 2030 like most are saying). Im getting really frustrated and LJ smith may loose a big fan if we dont get any form of feed back.
"RELEASE DATE FOR STRANGE FATE: 20 OCT 2030"
Please. For the love of god. Dont tell me thats for real. Please tell me Amazon is just fooling around. Im begging you. I will not wait 15 friggin years for a book.
Mrs. Smith, please, tell the truth, will "the Strange Fate" ever be published or not? It's not fare to fool so many people all around the world.
us that it aint coming over at all so that we can make u our mind at least....all this waitn is only making the wound worse...plz undstand my dearest author...its 2016 !!!!
I struggled with reading as a child, your night World Series was the first book series that I got hooked on. You rescued me from the grips of illiteracy and now I frequently write my own stories. I have been one of the most faithful fans to the night world series you will ever encounter. I bought each book the day they were released and I still have each book in original cover on my shelf many years later waiting for the day that my child is old enough to sit down and listen to me read these tales to her.
I know that you have gone through some difficult times and several trials however we have waited long enough for strange fate it's at the point now with the internet present that publication is no longer an excuse you are permitted to hide behind. You could have released this story several times now, even in electronic form and it makes me think that Strange Fate may infact be one of your greatest unfinished works.
Faithfully, Cassandra.
Ps. I never did recieve my black Rose pin I sent out for in 1997.
