Frontlines 8, now with title!

Earlier this month, I started work on Frontlines #8. If I stick to my schedule (and so far I am), the draft should be complete by the end of July. I can’t give you a precise publication date for a novel that isn’t complete and turned in yet, obviously. But if all goes as planned, the novel should be out in the first half of next year, probably around April or May.

Oh, and Frontlines #8 has a title now. The novel will be called CENTERS OF GRAVITY.

Until then, the third novel in the Palladium Wars series, CITADEL, will be released on August 10. Things are coming to a boil in the Gaia system, and if you’re looking for a bunch of military SF action mixed in with your space opera, CITADEL has plenty of it.

Speaking of release dates: the official LOVE DEATH + ROBOTS anthology is available now. It contains all the short stories and scripts that were the basis for the first season, including my own LUCKY 13 and SHAPE-SHIFTERS. (Sadly, I am not on the list of contributors for LD+R Season 2, but I am fine with letting some of the other kids have a turn on that swing set, so to speak.)

In other news: the weather is gorgeous, all denizens of Castle Frostbite have had their Pfizer shots, and it looks like we will be able to safely get together with friends and family in the second half of the year. I’ve booked a week-long get-together with some of my close friends (who will also be fully vaccinated), and I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to hanging out with people in person again. Thank you, science.
