Good news. The fourth draft is in my hands and I can proceed to the fifth and then the production draft of Berand Torler. I apologize for the delay. But you and I both know you want the best possible product I can provide for you.
I also promise the wait will be worth it. With honesty I can say this is the best novel I have ever written.
The fifth and production drafts go pretty quickly. Maybe no more than a week and a half, maybe two weeks to finish.
The cover has been ready for years. So, as soon as the manuscript it ready, it's off to the publishers.
So I am going to set April 7, 2017 as the new release date for Berand Torler. I don't anticipate any delay or need to push back from that date.
I'm still setting May 2, 2017 as the release date for the new Iounelle novel - Magic and Mathematics: Book One - Ancient Science.
And let's reset to July 7, 2017 for the release of The Tiger's Mouth.
Also I am in the process of rewriting the very first book The Last Elf of Lanis and am very excited about the reissue of that novel.
The original work is pretty darn good, but I was a newbie and made a few mistakes. The reenergized manuscript for that novel will be awesome.
I might go through and groom The Archer From Kipleth and The Lord of Lightning, but I don't really anticipate those works needing much rewriting.
And as much as I LOVE Legends of Haergill and Conniker's Tale, that unique novel needs a LOT of work. So that is something I will address in the near future. Maybe look for a reissue in 2018.
Hopefully, all things being equal, You should get a FOURTH new novel this year, The Serpent's Venom, for which I am currently laying out the plot. Lucky you.
So, no books from me for over a year, and then BAM a multitude.
I know you will enjoy these works, and I'm very excited for you to read them.
