Third Quarter in Review - What's Next?

Outlands Justice has been out for almost three weeks, long enough to get a feel for where the book is going to go, sales wise. The novel is doing better than both my superhero-althist and my horror series but ranks far below my mil-sf. It's doing well enough that it warrants a sequel, but not so well that I'll get to it immediately. I will write it in the second half of 2019.

For the rest of the year and the first half of the next, I'll concentrate on the Known Galaxy universe with a follow-up series to the Warp Marine Corps. The Bicentennial War will begin in September-October with To The Strongest, set some three decades after the end of Havoc of War. Old and new characters will face new threats to the US, with plenty of action both in space and on the ground. The plan is to release the full four-book series in quick succession (every 60 days is the goal).

After that, I may try my hand at a different universe for mil-sf (something more purely sf without any supernatural elements), or perhaps something in LitRPg, plus as I mentioned before at least one sequel for OJ. But first, it's going to be Warp Marines, lots of them!
