That said, if I come up with a fantastic WebMage idea and my editor goes for it there may be further books down the line. <br /><br />What I'm working on now isThe Chronicles of Aral Kingslayer, a high fantasy/detective noir mix. It should start coming out in Dec of 2011 with BROKEN BLADE, with book II coming out six months after that and book III six months after that one. I'm pretty excited about it, and so is my editor which is why it's on a six month release schedule.Kelly McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122960869198042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-31146537532221199532011-02-25T18:12:11.597-06:002011-02-25T18:12:11.597-06:00any chance one of those 2 is a webmage novel? ple...any chance one of those 2 is a webmage novel? please please. love them.Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206933422531507061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-44147269667627952782011-02-24T10:44:05.405-06:002011-02-24T10:44:05.405-06:00Yeah, it'll get done.

If I can sustain this push for fifteen more days that should put me almost three weeks ahead of deadline, which I'm envisioning as the giant stone ball from Raiders of the Lost Ark.Kelly McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399122960869198042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-90570598989486959672011-02-23T22:57:35.575-06:002011-02-23T22:57:35.575-06:00I've already decided that the next time I cont...I've already decided that the next time I contract for a deadline, it's going to NOT be in the middle of my production period (when the kids are in school). As it is now, I get the next book rolling; then hit three months of inconsistent production (summer vacation); then suddenly need to ramp up and get my brain back in gear because, eep!, the book is due in five months. <br /><br />Much better will it be* to (hopefully) have said future book due just before the kids are getting ready to get off for the summer. That way, I have the summer to plot & putter, start to build speed, and then hit high gear for a sustained period once the guys go back to school.<br /><br />(And you don't want to hear how many k of a false start I had on this recent book. Ugh.)<br /><br />But, different writers, different issues. I know you'll get it done; it's just the learning curve that's a bitch. I know I felt the world building in Hawthorn Queen was much easier than in Among Thieves, so I can sympathize with the switch in the other direction.<br /><br />*= "Much better will it be"? Who am I tonight, freakin' Yoda?Douglas Hulickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04221190213829107139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32085591.post-28342202367484314592011-02-23T14:51:29.545-06:002011-02-23T14:51:29.545-06:00You can do it, Kelly!You can do it, Kelly!Jonnanoreply@blogger.com
