As...Well, the laughter occurred just as suspected.<br /><br />As to the sequence of the next few books, I really do need to get the next Fringe Worlds and Warden books out, and they are very high on the to-do list. That said, the next book may very well be the Electra story - a Kid Sensation companion book. To be frank, I probably have the Mouse story better mapped and I'm further along with the next Fringe Worlds than the other titles mentioned, but I keep thinking I need to get Electra's story out there. We'll have to wait and see.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226233798269875346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-91331751792899961852016-05-19T21:47:28.230-07:002016-05-19T21:47:28.230-07:00Ill destroy the zombie serum if you make a progres...Ill destroy the zombie serum if you make a progress bar o.0Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186764024966352882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1965850447775046538.post-3755677638416765432016-05-19T11:40:59.926-07:002016-05-19T11:40:59.926-07:00Honestly I wasn't even expecting an answer oth...Honestly I wasn't even expecting an answer other than maniacal laughing. <br /><br />A better question would be what is the next series you are writing for? Wardens? Fringe Worlds? Kid? Or perhaps those spin off books you keep teasing about Mouse or Rune.

Suffice it to say that I don't anticipate the wait to be as long as it took for the last one.

His main character will have inner monologues and self evaluations, but unlike say Harry Dresden in Dresden Files, this character will repeat said monologue over and over again, sometime in back to back chapters and sometimes in the same chapter. The same flashback over and over again. The books are literally 200 pages too long and full of fluff. In one of his books, the main character became perhaps one of the most powerful wizards in the world, and didn't even notice as he as too busy wallowing in self pitying over things outside his control. Sorry but once you begin slaying mythical legendary monsters, I think you lose the right to think of yourself as a novice.
