What a difference a day makes!

While I and my Ace editor, Ginjer, were talking about bringing the three old Ray Longknife books back into print, the question of Hounds of War came up. Back in '99, Ace declined it and started me down the path that is Kris Longknife. By late today, Ace was offering me a contract to deliver HoW by Dec 12 to be published in early 14.

If it sells well, you can look for the three Iteeche war books to follow.

Then Ginjer asked for a treatment on Vicky Peterwald — Targer. I sent it in and it looks like we'll be negotiating publishing it some time early in '13.

Since some 85% of you are still buying my books in paperback, I'm only too happy to be going that route. Lots of fun ahead.

Now, I need to go write.
