Keep Keeping On

So far, 2013 has been a very stressful year. Without going into detail, many things have tried to derail my writing and while they may have slowed me a bit, I am pushing forward and working diligently crafting a worthy story to follow up Black Stones of Ter Chadain.
I understand that many of you have been waiting patiently over a year for the release of Book 3 in the Protector of Ter Chadain series and I am making great progress towards that end. But I want to assure you that I will not put out a story that does not follow the same level of excitement and action that the first two have been known for.
That being said, I am afraid due to my publisher's schedule and the timeline that is needed to complete Book 3, we are shooting for late winter or early spring of 2014 for the release.
Will Book 3 be the end of the series...I won't know for sure until I am finished, because if there is more story to be told, there will indeed be another book.
Thank you for your patience and I hope it will be well worth the wait.
