Hey, all!
As I’ve been reminded, not everybody follows me on Facebook or Twitter or through my newsletter (sign up for my sci-fi one here and my fantasy one here), so I should make an effort to update the website with news more often. So, here’s what you can look forward to from me this year.
SFWA Fantasy Bundle
First off, I’m part of a big kickass-fantasy-heroines boxed set over at StoryBundle (available until Feb 14th) with a lot of other fun authors. If you’ve enjoyed my stories, I think you’ll like the offerings in this bundle.

For $5, you get the basic bundle of five ebooks in any format, and for $15, you unlock all the bonus books, including my Dragon Blood boxed set (I’ll let you decide whether Sardelle or Jaxi is the kickass heroine in that series… Jaxi is positive it’s her.)
New Fantasy Coming Soon!
As you may know, I finished off my Agents of the Crown series last fall. If you missed it, Book 1 is Eye of Truth (exclusive to Amazon until summer 2019, and then it will be available everywhere).
I’ve been itching to start a new science fiction universe, but I have some dangling series I need to finish up, so I’m going to work on those in between launching new things. I’ve been hard at work on my Chains of Honor series this winter. I’ve finished Book 3 (Assassin’s Bond), and you can pre-order it in all the major stores. It comes out February 20th.
If you’re one of my Patreon subscribers, you’ll get it this weekend: https://patreon.com/lindsayburoker/
If you haven’t tried these books yet (it’s a spinoff series set in my Emperor’s Edge world, and Akstyr, Rias, Sicarius, and Amaranthe all have cameos), you can grab Book 1, Warrior Mage, everywhere.
As long as I was back with Yanko, Dak, and the crew, I decided to finish off the series and write Book 4 too. I just completed the first draft and am editing that now. I should have it ready to publish in March or April.
A New Space Adventure Series
Once Chains of Honor is wrapped up, I’m going to jump into the sci-fi series I’ve been wanting to start since last summer. It will be something all new, series title: Star Kingdom. I’m not sure how many books there will be yet, but it’s going to be my main project of 2019.
There will be pirates, robotics scientists, bacteriologists, genetically engineered badasses, archaeologists, and a ship’s snarky AI. In short, all the usual things you find in space opera. (Okay, okay, you don’t usually find many space adventure stories with bacteriologists for heroes, but I promise the usual humor, action, and adventure.) I hope to launch the first couple of novels by May.
And then…?
I’m not sure yet. If there’s something you’re dying to see, let me know in the comments. I may do a new installment in Rust & Relics or Sky Full of Stars, or I may write a sequel to Fractured Stars. That story is close to my heart, and I believe we need to find out where the dog Junkyard (who now has his own novella) really came from. I also haven’t forgotten that Basilard, in Diplomats & Fugitives, needs a follow-up.
Knowing me, I’ll be itching to start an all-new series by this fall (I was joking with my beta readers about “dragon cozy mysteries” not long ago), but I do want to get some of the older stuff wrapped up too.
Thanks for reading!
