when is GHOST IN THE AMULET coming out?
GHOST IN THE GLASS isn’t a cliffhanger, but since it came out last week, the most common question I’ve gotten in email is the release date of its sequel, GHOST IN THE AMULET.
Summer 2018, if all goes well.
That’s a bit of a gap by my standards, but I have a good reason – I want to bring the CLOAK GAMES series to its conclusion first.
The plan for the first half of 2018 is to alternate between SEVENFOLD SWORD and CLOAK GAMES until CLOAK GAMES is finished, and then for the rest of 2018 I will alternate between SEVENFOLD SWORD and GHOST NIGHT.
So if all goes well, we should have GHOST IN THE AMULET in summer 2018.

We are spoiled rotten. No sooner do you have a book out than we are already looking for what’s next. I am so looking forward to Bloodcast but after reading the epilogue to Ghost in the Glass I am more than ready for Ghost in the Amulet. Can you imagine how people would react if you slowed down from a book a month to one every other month or less?
I don’t want to mention anyone specifically because internet flame wars are a waste of time, but there are Major Fantasy Authors I regard as a salutary example of how *not* to do things in terms of writing. But I suspect many of them have learned helplessness from their publishers, who only want them to write one book a year or less.
I would get impatient if I wasn’t simply in awe of how fast you keep writing! It took me four years to write one book alongside a day job, never mind the rate at which you produce them. It wouldn’t be so bad if your books weren’t so compulsive. Whenever I recommend them to friends I always use the term “page-turner” because I just charge through them. They rarely last more than two days for me. Fortunately, I’m reading the Ghosts books to my wife, which allows me to slow down and appreciate them again. I particularly love reading Sicarion, who I do in a kind of John Hurt-esque rasp. We’re up to Ghost in the Surge now but I dread to think what will happen when we actually catch up! Please don’t let it happen!
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the GHOSTS books!

It just boils down to practice, practice, practice. I think GHOST IN THE GLASS was my 72nd novel.
