Here at the Compound, it's been an unusually hot and dry September, and the start of October is looking to be much the same. It's the time of year when the wildlife starts looking for somewhere warm and safe to spend the winter; right now, I'm pretty sure I can hear something snoring inside the wall. It might just be a particularly loud-sleeping squirrel, but I'm not sure. I mean, it might be a rhinoceros, for all I know. I'll have to keep an eye out for horn-holes poked in the siding.
The new trilogy has been out for a while, and thank you to everyone who has enjoyed it so far. I've received some great feedback, as well as some questions about what comes next.
What's next is another trilogy. I've had a few ideas for a while, and they're starting to come together into a coherent (for me) plan. We'll be following a little while after the events of Salvation & Sacrifice, seeing what Mell (and other people) get up to next. There will be some new characters coming to join the story, and some big events are lined up that will (ideally) spin everything out of control.
It's going to take a while to get the outline finished up -- hopefully by the end of October or thereabouts -- and after that I'll get started on the actual writing, which will probably take a year or more.
Of course, everything is subject to change (isn't it always?) and I'll pop back in here from time to time to update what's going on.
