I'm sure there are some FAQs floating around in the older blog entries, but I thought we'd try to put all the new ones in one place. So if you've got a question, just ask!
What stories are coming up? What are you working on? Tell me the future.
I have three series currently available right now: the Elder Empire series, the Traveler's Gate trilogy, and the Cradle series.
As of November 2019, I'm currently writing the final Elder Empire books. They will be the next books I finish if it kills me; it's been far too long.
As for Cradle (which is probably why you're reading this), I'll be working on Cradle again once I'm finished with Kings and Killers!
The Traveler's Gate trilogy is complete and available now, but the sequel trilogy (the Traveler's Blade trilogy) will come at some point after The Elder Empire is finished.
Will there be more Traveler's Gate?
Yes! Yes, there will!
The next adventure in the Traveler's Gate universe will be called the Traveler's Blade Trilogy, and it will follow Simon after the events of City of Light.
When there's any release date information, I'll let you know!
I didn't get one of your mailing list short stories. How do I rectify this injustice before I die?
I don't maintain that collection, so don't lynch me if something has gone down (just let me know so I can remove the link).
I'd like to get back to writing the newsletter stories; I mainly stopped because I'm spending all my time either writing or working on business stuff, but now that I have minions to handle my business business, I'm hoping to revive the short stories soon.
You ever write a word so much that it starts to look weird? Business.
Can I be a beta reader?
Not unless I know you. I typically keep the beta readers to a pretty narrow group, and I only introduce fans into that group very selectively. There are 4-5 members of the beta team that started out as fans, but I still had to vet them personally before I allowed them in.
This is mostly to avoid concerns about the manuscript leaking or my undead curse spreading to the general populace, but it's possible that I'll change my policy in the future. I may do a contest or something, from which I select a handful of beta readers.
But I'll announce it if and when that happens. Till then, no early copy for you.
