A little shorter than some. Not that much shorter. I’m happy with it now. Real hard to dissuade that crew from opening another can of worms, but we are finished!
Jane is getting ready to put up another of the Ring books.
She has not located a pen, but a new one is winging toward her as we speak, scheduled to arrive on April Fool’s.
And now we have to hit the tax reports and the accounting.
Woot. Well done – we look forward to reading it.
Congratulations! After you finish your taxes (I’m about done myself), take a deep breath and go out and celebrate.
One is desperately wondering what will transpire with Mikhyel in “Ring of Change”.
CJ, is this the next in the series after Deceiver? Working title?
Yes. The working title is Mediator. Dunno if they’ll use it.
Congratulations on finishing the book, and yay for us readers!
WooT and if it were an ebook, I be paying my money right now for the read.
Congrats!!! I’m so excited! I ordered Deceiver yesterday. It’s hard to believe I’ll have to wait nearly a year between when you finish and when I get to read. But Bren is worth the wait.
Good luck with taxes. My they be easy this year. I’ve just spent 6 weeks trudging through medical receipts to get MIL’s and then mine in order.
OMG! TAXES!!!! HUZZAH! for Mediator!
Congratulations…
Rites of passage and whatall… 🙂

Congratulations, and don’t forget to take a breather. 🙂
Well, I just pulled a pineapple upside down cake out of the oven (truly), so I offer you a big figurative slice, with a whole pineapple ring on it, in a electronic congratulations.
Appreciated! 🙂
Woohoo! Is there going to be another trilogy after this? The Atevi demand a FIFTH trilogy, you know, for felicity’s sake.
I wish the books came out sooner 🙁 I don’t read them until I can read them all together. Once I get my grubby hands on the third one I’ll probably go through and reread the first nine before starting on the three new ones.
There will be a fortunate fifth.
YAY!
YAY! *throws confetti* I am in awe of your work ethic!
You all give me the energy!
Can’t wait for Bren and his crew. This is truly one of the best long running series I have read.
I understand Jane is having some issues with getting the table of contents into “Ring of Intrigue”. I am so looking forward to “Ring of Change”, but have a few very thick books by yourself to get through. Since they were bought second-hand, I’ll bring your royalties with me to the watering hole and buy a round.
Yahoo! For a moment there, I was alarmed when I read that they weren’t going to open a new can of worms. I stared, all crushed — only two books to go? Then, fortunate fifth! Yahoo 2!
I just re-read Foreigner (6th? 7th time?), planning to re-read them all before the next book arrives, so I can get my head firmly in atevi space. 🙂 And regarding previous posts about people thinking your stuff grim — what the heck books are they reading? I giggled all through Foreigner…
The phrase “fortunate fifth” is the best news I have heard in a looooooonnnnnnngggg time! Thank you. I am so happy to hear it.
I registered for this blog this afternoon, largely looking for news on “Foreigner #12. Happy to see that not only is it due out in Jan, but fortunate 5th is started. Wonderful, wonderful. As long as you keep writing stories like this, I will keep reading.
Thank you! 😉
