In response to the email I sent the other day, I inevitably received A LOT of questions about the sequel of The Divided Region, like…
"Have you decided on a title yet?"
"Are you going to give any sneak peeks?"
"When will it be released?"
All valid questions that I'm about to unpack, starting with:
"Have you decided on a title yet?"
No, not yet.
Titles are like children's names; sometimes they come to you the moment they are conceived, and other times, they don't arrive until the child is here.
Fun fact: That's precisely what happened with our boys.
"Are you going to give any sneak peeks?"
Maybe. You'll have to hang around the barracks to find out. 😉
And perhaps most importantly…
"When will it be released?"
Ah, the mighty million-dollar question.
The mighty answer, however, is quite boring:
As soon as it's finished.
I've made the mistake before of announcing release dates, and every time I have done so, external forces seem to conspire against me.
Not only has it led to a lot of (rightfully) disappointed fans, it has cost me quite a bit in Storehouse gift cards to make good on that, as numerous Legionnaires will attest.
That said, now that I've gone back to my old ways and assembled an outline, my fingers are buoyant and full of verve.
Meaning: I'm going to rip through this manuscript, especially when you consider…
- I revise heavily as I go.
- Book 6 is going to be closer in size to Books 1-4 than The Great Betrayal.
Speaking of The Great Betrayal…

In either case, have a cracking weekend, Legionnaire. Stay classy out there.
