Treason's Shore?

Jul 21, 2008 18:54

I must have completely missed this announcement, but when did Treason's Shore get added to the line-up of the Inda books? A friend surprised me with that news today, after I'd recommended Inda to him without being clear that it was a series, and he went searching. Sure enough, there's the news on Sherwood's site ( Read more... )

I'd meant it to be three books, but when I wrote King's Shield part two kept getting longer and longer, and not resolving. So I decided to break the rhythm with a part three. Like no one would care or notice but me...but the part three kept getting long and longer. So I started cutting threads, and cutting more threads, and finally I ended up with journalistic "what happened to" bits instead of scenes, and it was so horrible I crashed hard.

So I asked some people to read parts one and two, and sure enough, they formed one book. And part three had to be a book.

But about 75% of it is written, and it will not extrude another book, not not not. I have it alllllll under control, and it will behave! Bwa-ha-ha...

If so much of it is written, will it be out quickly?

I love the title by the way... it's so intriguing. I really want to ask about the meaning behind the title, but the answer is probably filled with spoilers.

I suspect it will come out a year from now, as the others have. I'd like to have a first draft done by October, but dunno if that will happen. So far, the editor usually doesn't get to me until Feb or even March...last minute, in the book world.

I too, love the title!

That is one awesome title!

Why on earth would anyone complain because a story needs 4 volumes? The story needs as much space as it needs - if that makes sense.

I dunno, but all but one of the Amazon reviews dinged me for that. Le sigh!

Well, we'll have to fix that won't we? I don't generally leave reviews on Amazon... don't think about it I guess. But I shall go leave one right now, just for you. :-) Don't want you getting too dispirited.
