Subj: You'd have to strategically place a little pony. Very carefully.

      Two years ago I completed a full-length sequel novel for that. Rhiannon edited it. A final finished manuscript went off to White Rocket and - nothing. No progress since. I suspect none likely to occur.

    Pity. Can you re-use it for something else?


No, it's a very specific storyline and piece of world-building, actually first written straight after the original novel. I may hassle the editor one day but since White Rocket Books is really a one-man-band it feels mean to pressure him. Plus, either Blackthorn was my worst-selling book or I got screwed, since I still haven't received a single penny royalty for it yet.

It does mean that the planned third part of the trilogy probably won't ever happen.

In the same really-slow-getting-to-print stuff, about three years back an editor pitched me doing an ongoing monthly novella e-book series. So I dusted off an old idea and wrote the first four-volume arc of my Byzantium series, on the understanding that this would be put out on a regular schedule to build up reader loyalty and buying habits (the e-books were $2.99, I think). #1 came out in 2013. #2 came out in 2014. #3 has had five release dates so far, the last of which passed last November.

Such is ther world of small-press publishing.
