6/15/2025: Done with triage of 2nd Ed Blood on His Lips! I am pleased that there are no major revisions required. A few tweaks for the sake of continuity from Book One extended edition, but we can dive right into the expansion! And do we have plans. Well, they also have plans, but we are the best of planners.
We’re planning on completing the expansion for Book 2 and 3 at the same time so there is no gap in publication, and then releasing Fall/Winter 2025.
LADY OF THE LAKE*: In pre production. There are words on the page and thoughts in the head and it is coming together. We have to keep in mind continuity between Fae Prince of Everenne and the as yet unreleased Thrones of Ninephe series, since FPOE Book 5 will intersect with Thrones of Ninephe. So the publication schedule will be a bit of a tap dance because, once I publish one, it will spoil the other and vice versa. But hopefully we’ll have it figured out by the time the final Everenne book is in production.
In all likelihood, we will have to write Everenne Book 5 and Thrones of Ninephe concurrently to nail the intersecting timelines and plot threads, which means. . .Book 5 may not come out for a minute.
IF THAT IS THE CASE, it is because Emma is releasing the Thrones of Ninephe books first, until we get to the point we can release FPOE 5 without spoiling anything.
THRONES OF NINEPHE SERIES:
This is a series of standalones, each novel featuring one of the Nine Temthrennes High Lords. While we intend to write the story of each HL (1 is almost done, several are WIPs) only 2-3 need to release to enable Book 5 of FPOE to release without spoilers. The goal is to write just enough of this series that we can get FPOE B5 out and ‘conclude’ the. main present arc of that couple.
Interwoven in that series of connected standalones will be a novella series featuring Nayya & Assariel (at the kinda beginning) culminating in a full book, which will be the final installment of Thrones of Ninephe.
The abbreviated version is out now for free, and the Full Edition is in progress. THIS IS CANON. You will not fully understand Nayya & Assariel, Aerinne & Raniel, and Juhainah & Lucithethann (gasp who iz dis!?) without reading this book (the full edition.)
Aiwah and Daoudanneth come first.
* This has been the title of B4 for several years. It went on pre-order with this title, and the cover was designed with the title. However, other books with this title have been released in the subsequent time and we feel the content of the story may have altered enough to suggest a title change. So, Lady of the Lake may not be the final title. We are not wed to it. (Ya’ll never saw the original cover did you? See the Vintage Covers section below.)
