Shards News
Dear long time friends here at LJ:
I've been under the gun getting all the things I need to do done and have been mostly firing off shorter posts on FB. Response here has fallen off a lot, too, and I suspect the LJ exodus in general is continuing. Anyhoo, here's a catch up for those still here.
I finished the draft of SHARDS OF TIME on Friday and am in the final stages of polishing before I turn it in to my editor tomorrow. It was a very long and arduous project, especially in the past few months as I struggled to meet the deadline while also keeping up with my grad school studies. I am really happy with how the book turned out. It is the last NR (see below), at least for the foreseeable future. It's the ending I'd always wanted.
In answer to some questions:
1. I don't have a publication date for SHARDS OF TIME yet, but I've heard "Spring 2014" bandied about. Watch this space!
2. And yes, this is the last book of the Nightrunner Series, at least for now. That's something I am grieving (at this moment, even). I've know Alec and Seregil longer than I've known my own kids. Never say never, but it feels like it's time for me to move on. The last thing I want is to pump out bad books just because I don't want to let go. I want the boys to leave the stage while people are still applauding. But I promise you, I've worked hard to make it a really good book!
3. Will there be a Glimpses 2? I dearly hope so. I can't imagine not writing any fiction at all while I'm in grad school though the pressures of being Super Student are pretty significant, so I hope to work on short fiction, including NR short stories.
4. I'm about to write another story for the Tales of the Emerald Serpent shared world series. In case you missed the first book, in which I offer a very angsty, sexy young fellow named Shay. It's a great collection! http://www.amazon.com/Tales-Emerald-Serpent-Scott-Taylor/dp/0985332891/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370196762&sr=1-1&keywords=tales+of+the+emerald+serpent
Finally, please stick around. There will be more news, cover art, weird and amusing typo reports, and teasers for short fiction. I'm not disappearing, I promise. Lots more to be done!

Oh, looking forward to the release of Shards of Time, I love Alec and Seregil :)
Oh my, you've made my day with this news! I am so looking forward to see those two again;-)
I can't wait for Shards of Time! It'll be sad to take our last adventure with Seregil and Alec, but I'm sure it will be one to remember. =) And hurray for possible Glimpses 2!
