I have sold DAW Books the first four novels in the series that is now called The Burning Crown, but which I’ve called The End of Days arc for decades. I have no titles, but do have dead­lines — the first of which is July of 2020. That’s when it’s due to the publisher. It’s not a publi­ca­tion date >.<. This is the last arc of the Essalieyan universe. I expect it to be roughly the same as the Sun Sword in length.

I…haven’t really used this feature much =/. For those who have not seen it in the blog updates: I have sold 2 Severn novels; they are early Severn, prior to the start of the Cast novels, and will be published by Mira, the publisher of the Cast novels. WAR, the conclu­sion to the House War series, will be published in June of 2019. I intend to go to the Worldcon this year (2019), which will be in Dublin in the middle of August. Tantor audio has picked up the first three Sun Sword novels for audio produc­tion. I have no firm dates for when those would be available.

My Loncon3 (Worldcon 2014) schedule: How Does Book­selling Shape the Genre We See? Friday 11:00 — 12:00, Capital Suite 2 This panel will explore how book­selling works, and how it’s changed over the past decade. How do book­sellers and publishers interact, and what infor­ma­tion do they use to choose what to stock, and how? How do these deci­sions affect readers’ image of the field? Have the habits and demo­graphics of the book buyer changed? Are non-Amazon book­sellers doomed? Alex Ingram (M), Justin Ackroyd, Malcolm Edwards, Lauren M.

I forgot that news is no longer on a static page. How long have I been doing this? Forgetful author is forgetful. I will be attending the San Antonio Worldcon, Lonestarcon3, from August 29, 2013, to the 2nd of September. My schedule is here.
