I am excruciatingly aware that I’ve kept my fans waiting far too long for my next book. I just got a reminder on Basefook the other day, showing me a post I’d put up ONE YEAR AGO, saying I’d finished another draft of the new book (to be called King of Rogaland), and hoped I’d have it ready soon.
This is way too slow. I need to purge my life of some lazy writing habits.
In any case, I can now announce that King of Rogaland is finished. Wrapped up. In the can. It’s in the hands of my long-suffering publishing facilitator, who’ll be getting the e-book up on Amazon as soon as he can. However, he’s got stuff on his own plate right now (really important stuff, by the way), so I can’t promise when that will be.
Sorry. It’s coming. I promise.
In better news, King of Rogaland went off Saturday. On Monday I had a… revelation, or something.
I know now how the next book will go. It’s a stylistic departure for me, taking my work up a level (I hope).
The title will be The Baldur Game. It will be big. It will be epic. It will be the climax of the series.
Hope I can bring it off.
I’m working on it now.
Hurrah!
Now there’s a title that compels attention, all the more if one knows what that game was. Whew!
Triple congratulations on finishing King of Rogaland, your “revelation, or something”, and already working on The Baldur Game – and best wishes for bringing it off: as my Roman-British archaeology professor said, back in the day, ‘More power to your elbow!’
Lars is too much of a gentleman to reveal was somebody else might want to keep secret, but I’m the publishing facilitator, and we have three toddlers, one of them in a wheelchair, as well as three high schoolers and a college students. Oh, and on the side I also have a full time job.
