Dragon Prophecy 3: The Art of War. Another confusing update

[merlinscribe]

I am reminded I have been dilatory in sharing the current news about Dragon Prophecy 3. TLDR: this is likely to push the publication date further into the future.

Here we go...

At the beginning of April, I received shocking news. My long-time editor at Tor (and no fan of the Obsidian books) had left the company. The books have been assigned to a new editor, who (potentially; I haven't spoken to her in depth yet), will be a fan of the genre and be a booster for the series.

I don't know much of anything right now. I don't know if New Editor is going to accept the new ending of the book. I don't know how much clout they have in-house. I don't know how the pre-pub process (editorial revisions, copyedit, copyedit check) is going to go with the series under new management. Of course I hope New Editor will adore the books and back my vision for big sprawling epics that do deep-dives into all corners of Jer-a-kaliel.

It's early days yet. We'll see. I'll keep you posted.

Question?

I am going to hope that the new editor would be good for the serie. Since he/she may like the genre, maybe we will get longer books.

Mr. Mallory I was wondering if in the Library you deleted your older post? I was going to ask you if you can repost an old post deleted scene you have if not there, then here. Since your Website been down for a couple of years I was wondering if you can post The Unicorn Picnic from To Light A Candle?

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for posting that here, I really appreciate it. I did have all your deleted scenes saved on my laptop and a flashdrive, but I had a house fire a few months ago. Started in my bedroom after midnight. Everything else is on this site, except this one. So ones again thank you.

Have a great day
