What’s next?

I’ll tell you.

I have just a few stories left to write in my Sixteen Seasons series, a few are written already and just need to be cleaned up. I think I have one more to write that is connected to Cry of the Peacock, and one to do that is connected to the third book, Gods and Monsters (excerpt one), and one more, I think happier, Christmas story. Once those are complete, I’ll remove the series from publication and publish them as a collection in one volume in autumn 2014.

That previously mentioned third book I will begin final edits on in September, with an anticipated release date of April 2014. I’m really looking forward to that. I really believe it’s my strongest work yet and I’m looking forward to rounding out the series. Those of you who’ve read Moths and Peacock will know it’s not a series in the traditional sense, but rather one connected by a common theme. In Gods and Monsters (excerpt two), however, the three books connect through common characters. I’m really excited to get working on it again. It really is my favorite of the three.

And then…? I think I’ll try something a little different. But I mean to be quiet about that, at least for the time being. Suffice it to say, it will not be historical.

Work on the house is waiting for some money to become liquid. At the moment there isn’t much more than peeling paper and paint and paper selection, which I will get to soon. I promise.

For now, however, I’m enjoying the rest of my summer and getting ready to roll up my sleeves and get back to work writing, rewriting, and getting that last book out there.

Keep your eyes peeled in the mean time for a series of promotions I have coming up. I’m planning on having one book free every month until Gods comes out. Exciting stuff! At least I think so.
