Just reread Bone Song after first reading in 2009. So clever, still a lot of fun. <br /><br />I've often wondered if Mr Blackthorne had a third one in him. But what would he call it? Choil? Pommel?<br />Chris Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062146651027335799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010225.post-60645863729448178152016-03-25T01:37:15.407+00:002016-03-25T01:37:15.407+00:00Hi Michael - I've answered this a while back, ...Hi Michael - I've answered this a while back, but my <i>current</i> answer is a little different, so thanks for asking!<br /><br />My contract with both the UK and US publishers was for two books only, and the UK publishers in particular weren't interested when I suggested a third book afterwards, purely on the basis of sales figures. (For some people, those books are their favourites by far - but my hard SF/space opera sells more.)<br /><br />This time last year, I was starting to write a non-SFF book that I realised needed a huge amount of research, so to avoid writing that book I, er, wrote a first draft of a third Tristopolis book!<br /><br />When am I going to do something with it? I won't even be able to think about it seriously over the next seven months, then we'll see... Probably an ebook-only affair, one way or another...John Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236108158993642237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010225.post-22131775763944085382016-03-22T00:11:49.009+00:002016-03-22T00:11:49.009+00:00Cheers, sorry if you had

I picked <br />up Black Blood and liked it a lot.<br /> <br />Given the cliff-hanger ending, <br />will there be any resolution to <br />Donal's fate? Or is the series <br />finished and it's a case of a <br />downbeat ending?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415594320118713862noreply@blogger.com
