Is there a Green Ember board game, movie, or tv series in the near future? Also, hoping for an update on Jack Zulu!
Thank you so much for this series! My kids and I have enjoyed them, and it makes long drives go much faster!
I am curious where the 2 most recently published books fit when we are reading the books in order?
Thanks again!
Hi Mary! Here is our updated reading order which includes the latest books: https://sdsmith.com/green-ember-series-reading-order-updated/
Thank you so much!
I am so glad to see the chronological order added – that will be the one that we follow!
Thank you for the updated order and for including the chronological order of the books. We will be using the chronological order! To me, that makes the most sense to listen as the greater story continues to unfold.
Are you planning to continue the main storyline of the Green Enter series, sometime in the future? How is life continued in the mended wood and how do they expand their civilization and build on in the “new creation” era? What exploits do they do? What new lands and enemies to the light do they discover? I’d love to see Emma married and also would love to see Jo Shanks and the Blackstar twins married as well. Haha
I am so excited for this new book! I have a couple questions: When will the next Helmer book be out? Will The Green Ember ever be made into an animated series? I’d love to see that!
Is this your last series?
How do u become a top fan?
question: which character wrote helmet in the dragon tomb like how heather worte the main series
question: which character wrote helmer in the dragon tomb like how heather wrote the main series
will you release a hard back of these books in the future?
We are so excited about the new book! Wondering how we enter the giveaway?
We have also have a question, will there be new Helmer books this year along with the Pilgrim books?
What would future Longtreader games be about? Would love to see one about Heather & Picket like the first book!!!
I read The Lost Key, but I haven’t read the Archer series yet… That being said, I loved seeing a side of Jo that we never saw in the original series.
Where did you get the idea for this new story? Who is your favorite new character created for this series?
And when will Jack Zulu 3 come out? My younger brother and I are in suspense. XD
I won’t be able to attend the live today because I’ll be at school but I hope everyone has a great time! Can’t wait to get myself a new Green Ember book!!
Hi Mr. Smith! I sadly won’t be able to watch the event live because I am playing in a concert, but I do have a question and will watch the replay later!!
Q. How do you keep finding stories with the same characters? Do you ever feel like their story is over? How do you lay the foundation for so many spinoff tales in your main books? Do you mean to, or do you just read it over, reassess, and then go for it? (this coming from a young author who is currently in that situation!)
Thank you so much!
hello s.d. Smith!
i have been a big fan of your books for a long time! i am a young author and i see your books as the example of what good and dangerous books look like. i will hopefully attend the live event tonight and here is my question:
1. have you considered selling green ember figurines?
2. will you be doing more books on the history of natalia or king jupiter?
3. will there be a movie or show of the green ember in the future?
thank you so much!

Hello, Mr. Smith!
My question for you is: what are your tactics for creating a world so large and composed without making it feel overstuffed?
Hi Mr. Smith!
Will there ever be a book about King Jupiter and his fall? I feel like that is a vital part of Natalia history and I would love to read about his reign and his story!
Hi Sam,
I just wanted to share how much your stories have meant to my daughter. She has all of your books, and we just purchased two copies of your signed limited edition she’s been looking forward to this release for so long and can’t wait for it to arrive. Your books have encouraged her through some really hard moments, and “Bear the Flame” has become a phrase she uses to remind herself she can keep going and uses to encourage others.She also loves the Heather and Picket characters. I was wondering if you have any plans for more plush characters in the future, or even “Bear the Flame” shirts someday. No pressure at all we’re just grateful fans and would be excited to support anything you create.
Hi S.D.Smith I have a few questions but I’m looking forward to your live tonight! Will you make a future book about Heather and Pickets children, like what adventures lay in store for them? And will they marry (: hehe 🙂 Also will you make a movie about the first Green Ember book? That would be amazing! And will you make more Green Ember plushies? For my last question will you make even more lost tales books? P.S. thank you S.D. Smith for your books and all you do for the Green Ember community they help me so much! God bless you Mr Smith bye!
Thanks so much for doing this! I have a question. Is the dragon tomb in Helmer’s adventures the same one that Heather and Smalls were trapped in?
Hey SD! My daughter, Anna, has enjoyed reading the Green Ember series. She says she is “your biggest fan.” She has a few questions for the upcoming launch party!
1) Where did you get the inspiration for the names of the characters in your books? Heather, Picket and Redeye Garlackson, in particular.
2) Is the character Helmer based on anyone in particular, or where did you get the inspiration for his character (for example, his personality and name)?
Her friend, Amelyah, has the following question:
1) Why did you call the land Natalia?
Thank you very much! We are looking forward to the launch!
Juniper (age 6) would like to know what Pickett’s favorite color is?
Also, a green ember trivia activity book or quiz would be fun!
will there be third book in the lost tales sereis
Question on green ember music.
Will there be anymore music released? I have been waiting for volume 2 of the Melodies of the Mended wood for years now.
Very much enjoy the Helmer in the Dragon’s tomb game music. Will be there be any more specific music to be released?
this is all corny corns
