Author Update
I'm in the finishing stages with "The End of Childhood" It's the third "Politics of Empire" book, but once finished it will be put on hold until "Moving The Pieces" has at least a completed first draft, as they share some common events.
Soon as that is finished, "Moving The Pieces" will be the fourth and final book in "Preparations for War", and likely the shortest. I'd hoped to be able to get the whole story told in "Setting the Board" but it just didn't work that way.
After that, my next project will be "Gifts of The Mother" a Gates to Faerie sequel.
There is a third Connected Realms story in the outline stages. Working title: The Crazy Lady
There is a fourth "Politics of Empire" also in the planning stages. The older children will be legal adults.
I'm looking at a story about Urona Scimtar, trying to figure out if I can make it interesting enough to justify the work of having a Seventh Order Guardian as a viewpoint character. The basic angle is make it the story Disney's "Brave" should have been - about the protagonist realizing the reasons why what her family wants her to do what they want and the costs of not doing so.
My plan from here out, once I have the current series in progress finished, is never to be working on more than two series at one time.
