Just thought I'd take a moment to share...

FB Update from Grace Draven (05/23/18):

(view spoiler) Just thought I'd take a moment to share...

FB Update from Grace Draven (05/23/18):

(view spoiler)[

So, an update on The Ippos King.

I've resisted putting out a specific publishing date beyond 2018 for this book for multiple reasons. Here are a few:

1) Goodreads librarians like to keep things up to date there, so if they see a date being touted, that's what goes on there, and that's what GR followers see and treat as a concrete date, even if it's an estimated one.

2) I've not been far enough into my word count to even hazard a good guesstimate. I'm still not there, but I know what date I won't be able to meet. More on that.

3) My original goal of releasing this book in 2017 went by the wayside due to significant events in my personal life in 2016 and 2017. Shit happens. We don't expect it, we don't plan for it, and it throws the best laid plans right out the window. We're halfway into 2018. I'm sure something will pop up that will make a specific release date dicey. Crossing fingers I'm wrong.

Anyhoo, I had really hoped to get The Ippos King written, edited, revised and packaged for a publication date prior to July 25th. That will NOT be happening. Why so specific a date when I'd avoided them previously? Contractual obligations and non-compete clauses in my contract with Penguin.

Basically, I can't publish a novel-length work in my preferred genre two months before and three months after the Penguin title (PHOENIX UNBOUND) goes live. Its release date is September 25th, so that publishing moratorium on my other work goes in effect July 25th and lasts until December 25th.

I could rush The Ippos King, slap together the remaining 2/3rds of the book in 3 weeks, dump it in a rightfully pissed off Evil Editor Mel's lap and ask for a 4-day turnaround on edits. I won't. I'd rather take my time, write a better book, give my editor the time she needs to make it an even better book via edits and revisions and release it at the very end of the year.

So, while I'm still not going to give a specific date as of now, I can tell you the release won't, under any circumstances (breach of contract isn't a term I ever want to read in an email or hear in a phone call), be until after December 25th, even if I finish it in say...August. However, I will be working very hard to see that it does go live before end of 2018.

I almost never do pre-orders, but I might do it for this one. I'll keep y'all updated.

I've had some readers say they're tired of waiting for me to roll this book out, that they're done with me and won't read anything else of mine. Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll change your mind in the future. Fortunately though, there are some amazing books out there to snag and fill your library. And I'm always happy to recommend the authors I love.

For those of you who stick with me while I work on this book and series, I thank you for your patience and appreciate your understanding.

I've a couple of other smaller projects lined up that will go out between now and end of year. Novella lengths, in which one is the re-release of an older story and another will be done in late fall. And of course, PHOENIX UNBOUND in September.

Thanks!

If you don't feel like reading the full update (though I think it would be worth your while if you're a fan of this author and/or series), here is some key info for those of you who may be champing at the bit:

So, while I'm still not going to give a specific date as of now, I can tell you the release won't, under any circumstances (breach of contract isn't a term I ever want to read in an email or hear in a phone call), be until after December 25th, even if I finish it in say...August. However, I will be working very hard to see that it does go live before end of 2018.

I don't know about you, but I'm thrilled to know this book might come out at the end of December (fingers crossed) or arrive at some point in 2019. If I enjoy this one anywhere near as much as I did both Radiance and Eidolon (and chances are good that I will with Serovek and Anhuset at the helm), it will have been definitely worth the wait!

whenisitcomingout is my "I'm expecting this book to be good good so I don't need to search what to read when these books are coming out list." But unfortunately I just came back to this book on Jan 31, 2018 to realize that I don't remember the first two books.

Not that it came out or anything -_-

Shelves: waiting

Based on her other books, this is going to be a "best read." Waiting, however, is very hard. Best spend your time waiting by reading everything that Draven has written. She is a wonderful writer whose characters become so very real, like a raised eyebrow, or quiet sigh, or stepping from hiding in the shadows. There are quiet connections that link her books and make the experience richer and more of a lightbulb moment.

So if Ms. Draven is reading this (!) Please Please finish the book!
