This list is subject to change at the author’s whim, but here’s the current list of books (in the order they will be written.)
This is being done in this fashion due to the Anthropic settlement; should the settlement fail to go through, or if the sums received are significantly less than expected, this list will change.
This list is dependent on having the money stashed away for when the old books / series finishers fail to pay the bills. (Which is expected; many of these series do NOT sell well, and I’m doing them rapid fire BECAUSE of the settlement. No settlement, no rapid fire series completion.)
I gotta put food on the table, and the settlement would allow me to hammer out the stuff that won’t make much money AND still put food on the table.
I will still be working on passion projects, and some titles (Including Achlys, Seeking the Zodiacs #2) are not listed because they’re being worked on on the side… or they are listed with a notation of here’s its slot if it isn’t finished on the side by then. So if you don’t see a project on here, it’s very probably in the passion project category or it is going to be included in an anthology. (Serial Killer Princess / Last but not Leashed are on this list. Do NOT ask about them, I’m not answering. They’ll be included in an anthology, which is a background project. There is no date, and I’m not compromising on them being anthology inclusions.)
I know that’s going to hurt some feelings, but this is an “in stone” decision and will not be changed.
If marked with * at the end of the title/series/author listing, it is the finisher of the series.

Obviously, this is not everything in my line up, and this will carry me probably through the next 5-7 years. I am not promising dates outside of what is already up for preorder.
Now, back to work with me. I hope you have a fabulous day.
*insert happy noises* this is for me much good news to look forward too even if life gets in the way I look foot your books, they are worth the wait.
Dae Portals 2 and 4 are on the list but not 3?
Typo on 2, books 1 and 2 are already out, will correct
Ohhh!!! Yay!
Please make sure you take care of yourself too. I’m super excited for lots of the titles but I’m also very happy to wait for you to not burn out! Oh and I hope the settlement goes the best it can.
Yep, that’s why there’s no dates associated with anything here except what is already up for preorder and tentatively coming on December 22. 🙂 And yes, I’d like for the settlement to work out well so I can move forward with this plan.
Yay! Love this list. Lots to look forward to! I enjoy your books so much.
I am out of the loop. What is the Anthropic settlement and how is it affecting your schedule?
Anthropic violated the copyrights of many authors to train Claude, their AI bot. I had many titles pirated to train Claude. The settlement is Anthropic paying the authors they stole from.
