Author Update: What’s Coming This Summer?

Hi folks,

Just a quick update here for those who are still grinding their teeth over the ending of Forged in Blood I. As some of you already know, I was well into the second half when I released the first half. Now, I’m working on the epilogue and should finish the rough draft this weekend. FiB2 will indeed end the story, so we’ll finally have all the resolution stuff (and, as I’ve teased on Facebook and Twitter, a haircut for a certain someone — no, not Akstyr again). I’ll be doing my own edits in June and have a slot reserved with my editor in July. The cover art is already done (thanks, Glendon!), so I’m hoping everything will be ready to go by early August.

After that?

Lots of folks have asked about a new Flash Gold story, and I’m planning to make that the next project. I’ve also been sitting on an idea for a contemporary fantasy series (no vampires, werewolves, or zombies, but… maybe some motorcycle riding elves ) and might have the first book ready to go around Christmas.

For those who are wondering if there might be more stories with the Emperor’s Edge gang, I am leaving things open for new story arcs over there. At the end of FiB2, I’m planning to ask people which characters they’d like to see more of in the future. I also have an idea for a trilogy set in Nuria that it’d be fun to do, and maybe a science fiction adventure too. Author minds are busy places!

Now that you know what’s coming, I better get back to work so I can get it out there. Thanks for reading!
