What would you think if I told you I already have 11 more books under way?
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess, “Finish The Day Magic Died series first!”
If that was your thought, you need not worry. The final two books in that series are among the first three or four books I plan to complete in 2014.
In fact, the plan for the first half of the year is pretty much set in … well, perhaps dried mud. It’s not really fluid, but it’s not exactly stone either:
February: The Dwarf’s Legacy, book four of The Day Magic Died.
March: The Man with Two Eyes, a Nascent Payne Mystery. This novella (under 30,000 words, compared to about 90,000 words for each of novels in my series) is the second in the series, The Hunt for the Wallaby.
May: The fifth and final book of the series The Day Magic Died. I am now ready to unveil the likely final name for this book: The White Silver House. Oh, and I’ve saved the best for last. This final novel will likely top 120,000 words, or about one-third longer than each of the other books in the series.
June: The third novella in The Hunt for the Wallaby series is due out. That may wrap up the series, or it may go into a fourth book. Not sure yet …
But even if The Hunt for the Wallaby goes into a fourth novella, that leaves the rest of the year as an open book. So what am I going to do?
I’m going to ask you to help me decide. All next week, I’ll be giving you brief synopses of upcoming book ideas, and asking you tell me what you think. This should be fun …

The initial proofreading of Book 4, The Dwarf’s Legacy, was completed in record time, which I hope is an indication I am getting better at spotting my own tendencies, and not an indication that my wife is getting sick of my stupid mistakes.
