It has been a long time coming.
Legends of Haergill and Conniker's Tale has been published.
You'll understand, when you read the book, that it wasn't the size of the book (it's average in length) but the complexity. Many, many things had to fit together just so.
And, it took me a lot longer than I anticipated.
So, I apologize for the delay, but not for the book as a whole, which I am very, very proud of.
So what's in this book? Several short stories you might have seen before, but completely rewritten. And, you'll see now how those short stories fit into the overall world of Wealdland.
There are the two novellas: Legends of Haergill, which I am personally quite fond of; and Conniker's Tale, which is a little mind bending. But, the few who have read it have understood what I am trying to do, and actually got quite excited. So, that's good.
There are two poems, one in Miranei, with its translation, that tell the story of Iounelle's parent's fate. The other poem is the Ballad of Sehen, which Yulenth mentions a couple of times in The Lord of Lightning.
And lastly there are a couple of short stories that set up Iounelle's continuing story in Mathematics and Magic, the next series, of which Ancient Science will be the first book, probably ready about this time next year.
In the mean time, early next year (I am very excited about this) you will get Berand Fool, the first book in the Chronicles of the Elf Human Wars. Trust me when I tell you that the Berand stories are going to be great. These stories take place three thousand years before Iounelle, and are going to be very unusual, to say the least.
In the middle of the year, if all goes as planned, you'll get the first of the Ostigris series: The Tiger's Mouth. This series fits in with the other series, but I can't explain how. You'll understand once you've read Legends of Haergill and Conniker's Tale.
enjoy
cheers,
Kurt
