Writing the best books I can

My finalization of the design for The Day Guard, and detailed design for books #5 and #6 have produced an interesting result.

I'm consolidating book #5 (The Panopticon) and book #6 (The Crane War) into a single volume. They both work better as a combined book.

Both books are action fests (like the Dragon's Den) leading directly on from the dramatic finale of book #4, The Day Guard. There is a major turning point at the end of book #5, The Panopticon, but it is not as strong and dramatic as the ending of book #6, The Crane War, plus the action is a straight segue from The Panopticon to The Crane War.

As a combined book, I can deliver an extended action fest with a very dramatic finale that completes PART 2 of the Metaframe War series and leads directly into PART 3 of the series.

And the rationale for consolidation - it's a better book, than either of the books would be alone. My number one goal is to write the best book I can with every book I write.

The challenges will be, it's the longest book I've written, and I need to write it fast to maintain publishing tempo.

I accept that challenge.

Updated PLAN:

Book #4: The Day Guard: Publish November 2018.
Book #5: The Crane War: Publish December 2019.
