Progress Report Dec 2012
Hi all and best wishes for whatever festival or holiday you are celebrating around this time of year! 2013 will be another very full year for me. Here are some details:
Work in Progress:
I'm still writing Caller, the third book in the Shadowfell series, due to my publisher in March/April 2013. At the same time I am proof-reading Raven Flight, book 2 of the same series, which will be published by Macmillan Australia and Knopf USA next July. Portuguese and Dutch editions will follow. The sweeping epic of Neryn and Flint, the rebels and the beleaguered kingdom of Alban has been a wonderful story to write and I will be sad to say goodbye to it when Caller is completed - there is, of course, always the possibility of more in future. Meanwhile Shadowfell, published in mid-2012, has picked up some great reviews as well as an excellent reception from readers.
---------
I am planning a new fantasy series for adults, something rather different from my previous work. At this point I am not revealing details, as the proposal still hasn't gone to my agent or publishers. I hope they like it, and if so I will be writing the first one next year for publication some time in 2014.
---------
My short fiction collection, Prickle Moon, comes out from Ticonderoga Publications in April 2013. It will be available in both print and ebook form, and there's also a collector's edition hardback, only 100 copies to be printed, signed by all contributors (myself as author, my fantastic colleague Sophie Masson who wrote the introduction,and brilliant cover artist Pia Ravenari.) That edition is available for pre-order now from Ticonderoga - the price reflects its collector's item status. When the trade paperback becomes available for pre-order I will put the link up on my website and here on Facebook. Prickle Moon includes five new stories as well as the best of my previous published short fiction.
Flame of Sevenwaters was recently published in Australia and the USA, and we can look forward to Portuguese and Dutch editions in 2013.
Appearances:
I have quite a busy schedule in 2013 and will post more on events later. Currently my schedule includes appearances at the following:
Genghiscon, Perth, January 12 - 13
Swancon, Perth, March 29 - April 1
Conflux, Canberra, 25-28 April (possible)
Supanova Sydney June 21-22
Supanova Perth June 29-30
Riding the Waves (RWA national conference, Fremantle) Aug 16-18
World Fantasy Convention (in Brighton, UK) Oct 31- Nov 3
I hope that answers some of your questions! Meanwhile keep safe, enjoy your holidays if you have them, and all the best for a peaceful and creative 2013.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Juliet! I got Flame of Sevenwaters for Christmas - can't wait to start reading it! I LOVED Shadowfell and cannot wait for Raven Flight either.
will there be another sevenwaters book ? though after reading Flame of sevenwaters i cant think of a better ending to a marvelous series , but i would like to read more and more about them , i keep on thinking what will happen to Finbar ..
Hi Shiron,That is undecided at this point - I think Flame of Sevenwaters does wrap up the series pretty well, and I like the fact that Ciaran's role really holds the six books plus the novella together. But I never say an absolute no to anything. I do have plans for a completely new adult fantasy series, something a bit different. That will be my next project after the Shadowfell series.

New adult fantasy series? I'm ecstatic. I'll be anxiously waiting for new details as they become available. Nice little teaser too adding that it's something different, really have the wheels turning in my head trying to guess.
I'm waiting for Flame of Sevenwaters to arrive, but in the meantime I'm reading Dark Mirror, which has a particular interest for me, as when I was 8 we lived in Scotland for a year, In Abernethy, which has one of the few remaining Pictish Tower. I could see it from my window.I'm also thrilled you're going to be at the RWA conference in Fremantle.

Thanks for the updates! I just wanted to second the other comments about Flame of Sevenwaters being a great book and a wonderful ending to much of the ongoing story. If it turns out to be the last volume, it was an excellent one, and if not, that's awesome too. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to hearing more about your new fantasy series.

all the best, Juliet
