Craig Alanson:
I was curious if you have a planned number of books for the ExFor series?
Craig Alanson
Me? A plan?
Yes, I have a plan. As a reader, I hate it when I start reading a series and it becomes clear after a few books that the writer is making up stuff as he goes along. Like how the ending of the TV show 'Lost' was such BS because the writers had no idea where the plot was going.
Anyway, there are 12 books in the ExForce series. There are detailed plot outlines for all the future books and for the overall story arc. In addition to the 12 ExForce novels, there are currently plans for 3 ExForce novellas about secondary characters. The first novella 'Trouble on Paradise' follows Major Perkins and her team on Paradise after the Flying Dutchman left that planet behind. A novella is about 50,000 words, compared to the novels that are about 150,000 words
