Hi Erick,
It's great to hear from you, and I'm so pleased that you're enjoying the series so much. Not long to wait now until Wrath is released - 17th November in the UK, 6th December in the US.
As to your first question. I have already finished the first book of a new trilogy. It's provisionally titled Dread, Book 1 Of Blood and Bone. It is set in the Banished Lands, but takes place 130 years after the events of Wrath. Here's what my publishers have to say about it:

I don't have a release date yet, but it should be sometime towards the end of 2017.
Your second question, books to recommend. I've loved Miles Cameron's The Traitor Son Cycle, book 1 is the Red Knight.
Sebastien de Castell's Greatcoat's series.
Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt.
Bernard Cornwell's King Arthur trilogy - the Warlord Chronicles.
Hope that helps.
John

Hello John, I'd like to ask you some questions about your writing process. 1.Do you first create the plot and then everything else? 2.Do you use any special software for designing or just plain text? 3.How much time and detail do you give to planning? 4.Do you figure out the plot of the whole series before writing each book? 5.Do you try to use different vocabulary for each character? Regards, Dimitrios

You are an evil man ;) I am in the middle of moving when it is already below freezing, and I have spent the last week reading books 2 and 3, while living on an inflatable bed in the living room, without a single box having been opened. Finished it 10 minutes ago and I am already looking for the next book but at least, I may finally be able to unpack my boxes. Do you think it will be out before the end of 2016?
