JULY COMMENT THREAD (NO SPOILERS, PLEASE!)

Thu, 05 Jul 2018 23:14:46 GMT

Greetings, my fellow sojourners, and my apologies for the gap between posts, but there is little new to tell. I continue working on Book Three, which has (amazingly!) required some real-world research trips. At this point I hold myself ready and willing to move a pre-modern army over any possible terrain.

I will be spending some time over the next few days clearing up the backlog of comments. The short version is: there is no publication date for Book Three set, nor has it been delivered.

Questions, comments, explanations, and excoriations below, if you please.

Many Thanks,

--James

This Is The October Open Thread

So Blade of Empire is out on 10/24 and the cover looks like this. It's a striking cover—in a Soviet Brutalist way. (That's supposed to be Runacar, I suspect. Now let's see if the image drives sales the way Marketing hopes it will.)

Greetings from the far side of the autumnal equinox (for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere). It's been a busy summer here in the Enchanted Forest, though none of it has involved responding to emails and other notifications from Tor because they haven't sent any. Most of what I'm learning about the progress toward publication of Blade of Empire has come from your comments. They are greatly appreciated!

I have one other project to deliver before going back to work on Scourge of Fate, but it should be out of the way by the end of the month. George RR Martin is a cautionary tale for modern storytellers, as we are all well aware, and I have no intention of forcing those of you who have been gracious enough to come along with me on Vieliessar and Runacar's epic adventure to languish for years without the rest of the story...

Meanwhile, a question: do you want to see snippets from Scourge as it is written—even if they might contain possible spoilers? Or do you want to go into the third book in the trilogy completely unspoiled?

And now, onto the comments backlog...
