Happy 2020!
Although this is an update post, we’re light on news. Alex Verus #11, Forged, is still with my publishers and I’m still waiting on edits. I’m drawing out some hazy ideas for Book #12, but for now I’m mostly just enjoying my break, and doing silly side projects like finally watching the new trilogy of Star Wars films and writing up my thoughts on them.
I’m also tossing around some extremely vague ideas for what I’ll do once the Alex Verus series is over, but that’s a very long-term project and I’m not expecting to have anything solid on that for months and months. I’m actually deliberately avoiding thinking too much about it, since I want to focus on Alex Verus #12, and I don’t want to do a second-rate job on the final book of the series because I was busy thinking about the next series instead.
I am equal parts sad about the end of the Verus novels and excited for what is next. Enjoy your break! Let us know what you thought of TROS.
A standalone book or two?
I’m not sure I can handle the end of this series.
I’m re-re-enjoying all 10 novels in Audible for now the Nth time after having just finished book 10. What a masterfully written and superbly performed (Gildart Jackson) series!
Sorry to hear Book 12 is to be the last in this series, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the exploits of Alex Verus through book 10 – if anything, the novels seem to get better and better. As for a future project, perhaps a side series from the perspective of Meredith: “Being an enchantress sounds like it’s all fun and games, until it attracts the wrong kind of attention, especially from seriously bad dark mages like Richard Drakh or Alex Verus. And its not like the Light Council are any better. Aargh, can’t a girl just take some time off and enjoy her margarita in peace?”
It’s always great to take a break here and there. 🙂 Thanks for writing an amazing series! I’m all excited for Forged soooon!
