I’ve had a bit of surprise today.
It seems that Tor has changed its plans for my third book.
Originally, A King in Cobwebs, was meant to appear on its own next summer (July 2018, as I recall). And, I am afraid, it would have made a rather sheepish final entry in its trilogy, appearing several long years after books one and two were out of print. (You might picture the book scuffling its toe in the dirt, afraid to meet the eye of other books).
It was, I should add, more than fair of the publishers. I had no cause to complain whatsoever.
Today, however, I learn that all three books are to be relaunched in 2018. There are even to be gorgeous new cover treatments (which must remain under wraps for the time being).
As of this writing, publication dates are set as follows:
- In the Eye of Heaven: 5/22/2018
- In a Time of Treason: 8/7/2018
- A King in Cobwebs: 12/11/2018
I cannot help but feel that this gives my poor efforts a new chance to find an audience among those who love a little harrowing medieval fun.
(I’m tickled).
