Why does the publications date of A Play of Shadows keep getting pushed back? (I'm not complaining, just asking). And do you have any books coming out between now and the current date for that book (Sept 2023)?

Part of this has been because of pandemic issues around the book business – specifically because it limits viable slots for doing a "major" release. Oddly though, part of the blame is shared between my agent, my editor and I as the three of us go back and forth on the overall publication strategy for the Court of Shadows series. Ultimately though, the blame rests with me because if I'd just 100% committed to making Play of Shadows the first book in the series ages ago when I finished it, the book would already be out now.
All that said, it's definitely coming out Sept 2023 and there's also going to be a new book soon to be announced coming earlier in January 2023. In addition, I'll be releasing a new Greatcoats book this year, but that's all secret for now . . .

Hello- one of my friends recommended your book to me and actually bought me a copy. I look forward to reading it, but I need to finish another series first. In the mean time, I was wondering if it would be appropriate for my 12-year old son? I'm not worried about his reading level (he's a voracious reader and loves fantasy), but rather his maturity level. Thanks!
