New estimate

Ready or Not is coming along pretty well, not as quickly as I’d like or had hoped, but it’s not as far off track as I’d feared.

To be frank it’s got rougher edges and so is needing a more thorough polish than Love or Lust did, as well my editor is taking things a bit slower this time around because she’s terribly embarrassed at some of the errors that managed to still be in the first book despite her editing.

That said, book two could be out as early as the anniversary of the first book. The more likely date is about a week later than that — around 3 – 6 July; worst case scenario we’re looking at mid-July (barring some catastrophic mess that carries things beyond even that).

All told it is going well, and the story came out pretty decently and the edits are really making it shine I think. So the wait, I feel, will be worth it if you can all be patient a little longer I think it’ll be enjoyable.

I’m, of course, working on book 3 as well. It still doesn’t have a title because — frankly — I’m not far enough along to be entirely sure what it’s about. Still, I’ve some rather great bits so far, and it should go pretty smoothly (though, now I’ve said that, I’m going to hit a case of writer’s block 60km thick and made of adamantium). I really can’t imagine it being out sooner than spring 2015 and will likely be summer 2015, though if the rest of the book goes as well as these first chapters have we could be looking at a Dec/Jan release (just don’t hold your breath).
