The Summer Of Finishing Things

Now that DRAGONSKULL: DOOM OF THE SORCERESS is out into the world and selling briskly (thanks everyone), what’s next?

Ladies and gentlemen, the summer of 2023 will be the Summer Of Finishing Things.

Next up is SILENT ORDER: THUNDER HAND. I’m about forty percent of the way through the rough draft, and I’m hoping to have it out sometime in July.

After that, I will write DRAGONSKULL: CROWN OF THE GODS, which will be the ninth and final book in the DRAGONSKULL series.

Once that is done, I will write the fourteenth and final SILENT ORDER book. I had decided that there would be fifteen SILENT ORDER books, but I was looking at my outline for books #14 and #15 and thinking that I would need to add some subplots to them or else they would be too short.

But at that point in the series, you really need to be ending subplots, not adding new ones. Things need to start wrapping up.  So I decided if I combined the plots of #14 and #15 into a single book, I think it will work quite well. Which means that after DRAGONSKULL: CROWN OF THE GODS, I will write the final SILENT ORDER book, title to be announced.

So if all goes well, both DRAGONSKULL and SILENT ORDER will conclude over the summer and early fall.

After that, I think I will write a new Caina book called GHOST IN THE SERPENT.
