Well, gang, the new novel is still coming--it may just be a few more days than I planned. Essentially, I made a big mistake in formatting the manuscript that is requiring literally thousands of individual corrections before it can be uploaded for publication. I won't go into the details, mainly because it makes me look rather stupid.
Anyway, the book is written. We are just dealing with the manuscript issues and with inputting editorial corrections. It is looking as though it is not going to be ready before the end of the month, but early February is a good bet. I apologize for the delay--it is my own damn fault.
I am truly eager to get this one out. Once I get the book written, I sort of mentally move on to the next one. So, I really want this novel out of the way so I can start working on Brothers in Valor. I have very little patience for this part of the process. It is no fun at all.
But, I am working literally 12-16 hours a day to get the book out and it will be in your hands as fast as it can humanly be done. I think it's going to be worth the wait.

"For Honor We Stand" to be Released this Week
Sorry for the lack of updates, folks, but I figured people would be more interested in reading a new novel than in reading a bunch of blog posts. We've been pushing hard to complete the next novel in the Man of War Trilogy, For Honor We Stand. The book is in final editing right now and should be issued this week. We did not make our original goal of having it out on January 21, but that date did keep our noses to the grindstone and we won't be missing it by more than a few days.
This has been a fun novel to write. It has somewhat more "action" than the first book, and the diplomatic intrigue as well as the overall conduct of the war story are told on a higher level, so to speak. There are major developments in terms of alliances and events that will dramatically shape the future course of the war against the Krag.
It did turn out longer than the first book. Book Two came out about 146,000 words, in comparison to Book One which was about 130,000.
The ending is very dramatic, if we say so our selves. And we do!
It will be out in just a few days. I will post an announcement here and on the Facebook page when it is about to go up.
