I have to ask have you given up on writing book 6? It's been over 2 years since I last wrote you and you answered that book 6 would probably be out by July. Sad too see that there doesn't seem to be a conclusion to the series coming out any time soon. I was a really big fan of yours but 2 years is a lot of time to lose interest.

Hi
I can't remember saying Inside Straight would be out by July in 2017, but I suppose it's possible I did. My writing priorities are set by the business side of being an author, which means responding to readers *as a group*. Based on that, my view was that I needed to redeem my promise to complete Bian's Tale 1 as an alternative view on the Athanate, and publish the Science Fiction book that I'd started as a serial on the blog. I did those and now Inside Straight, Bite Back 6 is my main priority for writing. It's about 50% done, will definitely be out this year, and I'll make better forecasts when I get to 75%.
The Bite Back FB page is a better place to see updates than Goodreads.
I am slower than other writers, but I believe the effort I put in makes the result worthwhile. I'm sorry I can't be quicker and that my estimates are often wrong.
