Help- Confused by Chosen and White

I just finished Sinner last night.. and I have to say I was very depressed. It was an excellent book (one of the best he's written in a long time, in my opinion), however I was sad for Johnny- I wish it would have ended with some kind of closure for him

.

-cough-

Anyway, I started Chosen right after, and I must say, I'm confused. I read an interview with Ted Dekker stating that, chronologically, they would be read like this:

Black, Red, White, then Chosen (and the whole Lost Books series).

Reading the beginning of Chosen, am I to assume that Showdown, Saint, and Sinner come before the whole series.. seeing as how it's 2033 A.D. in Sinner, and 4000 A.D. in Chosen?

And another thing.. Why is Rachelle in Chosen instead of Chelise? Rachelle died at the end of.. Red, I believe, and Thomas married Chelise at the end of White, so why the sudden switch?

I give up trying to keep up with these books.

Actually, I answered my own questions >_>.

Thank God for Wikipedia $\:D/$ .

As it says.. here.. The Lost Books were written about the time period after Black, yet before White. So Rachelle hadn't died yet.

Huzzah, problem solved.

Specifically in the 13 year time-span in the last chapter of Black.

Two more books are coming out in the Lost Books series, and one more for the Circle Trilogy, for your future reference. $\:D/$
