Almost, Okay?

All right, due to this and that, including an abrupt visit from relatives I hardly ever have a chance to see, I did not quite complete the final proofing pass last night.

I’m doing that today, it should take just a few hours, fitting those hours in around other things will of course slow everything down still farther, BUT, I am determined to drop HEDESA at my Patreon by the end of the day today, so that IS coming up.

***

For those who might want to know, here is the list of TUYO books in chronological order. This list or something similar will go up on the series page at this website soon-ish, but here it is now. I’m bolding and underlining Ryo’s trilogy because the chronology of everything else is described relative to that trilogy. I’m italicizing any books that aren’t close to finished.

MARAG — 20 years before TUYO.

NIKOLES — 14 years before TUYO

TUYO

SUELEN — immediately after TUYO

TARASHANA — 1 1/2 years after TUYO

KERAUNANI — concurrent with TARASHANA

TANO — immediately after TARASHANA

“Returning Hokino’s Knife,” in the Tuyo World Companion, a few months after TANO, concurrently with —

TASMAKAT — opens immediately after TARASHANA and stretches out for months, what with one thing and another.

HEDESA — opens immediately after TASMAKAT

BEREKET — I’m giving away the intended protagonist, and I hope this doesn’t backfire because I run into unanticipated issues, but I really enjoy the opening scenes that are on the page. Takes place concurrently with HEDESA, causing The Thing That Happens in the West.

HEDESA BOOK II, UNTITLED — opens immediately after HEDESA, but I haven’t started it.

HEDESA BOOK III, UNTITLED — I would be astonished if the rest of this story fits into one book, so I’m assuming two more books from Tano’s pov before this story reaches an actual conclusion. I actually know, more or less, the ultimate conclusion. It’s going to take time to get there.

RIHASI — Two years after TASMAKAT, and therefore about two years after BEREKET, and honestly I think it will wind up fine whichever someone reads first. My intention is to make sure it does work fine whether someone is going in chronological order or publication order.

The odds seem very high that other books will appear that are set either before or after RIHASI, or both.

TATHIMI — my intention is to pick up Aras’ granddaughter when she is about fifteen or seventeen and move forward from there.

SEKARAN — vignettes that begin before even MARAG and continue, probably, to a point just before or during TATHIMI. Therefore, this one book will sweep through the whole series chronologically, with moments set before, after, and during the events of all the other books. That’s why it’s so hard to decide how to present this one in a list like this, and I’m sure the back cover description will be challenging as well.
