Books Six Through Ten -- What's The Plan?

My original plan for the Dragon’s Fire Series was five books. Books One through Five tell a complete story, and the series could have finished there.

But I was having too much fun in Caledon, and I wanted more! Readers did too. I was getting lots of questions.

• What happened in those 384 “silent years” between Books One and Two?
• You hinted at so many backstories! Are you going to fill in any more details about my favorite character? (Specific characters have been suggested.)
• HOW did the character from Book One pull off that stunt? (The question was more detailed than that, but—spoilers.)

Books Six through Ten are going to answer all those questions and more. Book Six, Guardians of Caledon, goes back in time to introduce a plot gimmick that will weave through the next five stories. Each of the new tales will interconnect with each other and with the first five books, enriching storylines and bringing commoners to the forefront as main characters. Some of them you will have met before, and others will be entirely new. Books Eight and Nine will be set in 1587 and 1603, respectively. The series will culminate with a grand finale in Book Ten that will tie everything together and finish things with a spectacular bang!

The dragons, Aderyntan and Cythraul, are coming back for one more fantastic appearance before the end of the series. Don’t ask me how I’m going to do that, because—spoilers.

With the cover and title reveal for The Mystic’s Mandate behind me, I’m looking forward to sharing the back cover copy and a sneak peek at the first few pages of the book. Set in the late 1200s, Book Seven tells an exciting story, details some relevant history, and gives more depth to several characters mentioned in previous titles, including Ciara Muerren, Adrian Zandor, King Laurence, and Ian Gadara. The Mystic’s Mandate contains numerous spoilers for earlier books, so make sure you’re caught up on the series before Mandate launches this fall!

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. A book without readers is never complete.
