I know I’ve been fairly quiet online for a while. One wants to write upbeat posts about progress and the next release and so on and so forth. One does not want to write posts admitting to all the projects added to the Pile Of Shameful Failures living on one’s hard drive – and there have been far too many of those for comfort over the last few years.
We shall not talk about those dark times except to say thank you, dear readers, for continuing to show your love for my existing books even while I’ve been relatively absent.
We shall instead talk about what is coming next!
Is It More Stariel?
No, I’m afraid it’s not. It makes me so happy that people love Stariel enough to want more! I do want to return to this world, and I had originally intended for a Stariel-shaped Thing to be my next project. However, the Creative Department does not always follow directions from their CEO, and in this case they rebelled completely after months of trying to force them to comply. Which is a roundabout way of saying that one of the items on The Pile of Shameful Failures is More Star More Riel, which is now officially On Indefinite Hold. Maybe down the track a way we will try again.
(I can, however, offer you a tiny piece of More Stariel in the form of a bonus short story when you sign up to my newsletter).
What Is Coming In 2025, Then?
A standalone fantasy romance novel titled How To Find A Nameless Fae. It’s a fun, tropey retelling of Rumpelstiltskin, with a hero best described as “what if Howl had cat ears?” It’s ridiculous. I love it so much!
It’s set in the same world as my award-winning novelette How To Marry A Winged King (currently out of print), which has been brushed up and slightly expanded and will be re-released alongside How To Find A Nameless Fae.
