what’s next?
Now that DRAGONTIARNA: THIEVES is out, here’s what I’m working on now.
-Editing is underway on CLOAK OF WOLVES. If all goes well, WOLVES will come out in the first week of November, accompanied by a short story called SILVER DRIVE that subscribers will get for free. What’s CLOAK OF WOLVES going to be about? I’m glad you asked!
###
My name’s Nadia, and I do favors for the High Queen Tarlia of the Elves.
Tarlia is not the kind of woman who accepts no for an answer.
So when the High Queen orders me to help a top investigator solve a murder, I have to do it. Even though I’ve spent most of my life on the run from the law.
I don’t like the investigator, and he doesn’t like me.
But that doesn’t matter, because if we don’t work together, the creatures we’re hunting will kill us both…

-I’ve started on DRAGONTIARNA: GATES, the next book in the DRAGONTIARNA saga. If all goes well, I think that book will be out in December.
-I’m 11,000 words into GHOST IN THE COUNCIL. I’m hoping that will be January’s book.
-I’m also 17,500 words into SILENT ORDER: ROYAL HAND, which will be the tenth SILENT ORDER book. I don’t know when this one will come out. It doesn’t really fit into my schedule, and I know I said SILENT ORDER: ARK HAND was the final SILENT ORDER book, but I’ve found I really miss writing in a science fiction setting. So I’ll find time and make it work. It will probably come out sometime in 2020.
It won’t be a short book – it will probably be around the length of a Caina book. I’ve found that to sell short books, you need to spend twice as much ad money for half the results, so I’ve phased out doing short books.

Another Silent Order!!! Wonderful!
Thanks! More SILENT ORDER to come in a few months!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication!
I too am pleased that you are doing another Silent Order book.
“The pulse” may have been delayed by the events in Ark Hand, but without Jack it would still happen!
Thanks! More SILENT ORDER to come in a few months!
Yep, I’m curious about the pulse. Glad it will be a longer book. Thieves must have done well in it’s first week or so. I think you said if it didn’t do better than Knights you would put book 3 back a bit. The style of having multiple threads for Thieves worked for me. Appreciate the pace you keep. I’ve given up on authors who keep years between releases and with indi publishing I’m spoilt for choices.
THIEVES is doing better than KNIGHTS its first week. I think enough people have been burned with slow releases (like you mentioned) that they waited to see if I would actually follow through before starting DRAGONTIARNA.
Hurrah! Cloak of Wolves!
