Still a year between books is pretty reasonable and in all honesty the same with most authors. It's a great story so far I will calendar Marchish next year as possible release you can't help publishing delays.

I'm sorry, Dan, but you'll have more than a few weeks to wait. Book 3 is not out until March next year. I will be handing in the manuscript at the end of next month, so rest assured, no delays are expected though!

Fantastic Book I read both Lascar's Dagger and Dagger's Path in two days I was gripped I can't wait how to see how you finish the story. I especially like that I only have a few weeks to wait for the third book! Patrick Rothfuss still hasn't released his third book and he wrote it when he was in college 2nd book release 2011. You on the other hand seem to release your books close together keeps me engaged and eagerly awaiting more. Also loved The Isles of Glory trilogy and The Mirage Makers sorry but I got lost in the Watergivers.

Elaine, if you ever read any dragon books, particularly the dragons of Pern, they all have a dew claw on their wings.

Thanks for the response, Glenda.
My teen read over my shoulder and exclaimed rapturously "she put in dewclaws! Seems like no one ever remembers or knows about wings having dewclaws." Then I showed some of the other bird-y passages and said teen was just thrilled.

anyway, I've been reading your stuff since HAVENSTAR, but I wasn't tuned into birds back when I read Gilfeather, etc.

My husband just finished the book, too (you get paid for two purchases, BTW, a kindle (me) and the paper (him)) and also liked it, but thought the Saker & Sorrel interactions were getting tiresome. I think there may be something else besides a pairing in the works, but won't say here.

Thanks, Elaine T!

I am so relieved when I first hear that people like it. A writer spends so long doing something more or less in a vacuum, without a clue if they are on the right track!

Being a birder for most of my life, and working specifically in bird conservation projects, does impact the way I write about birds and they do make an appearance in my books from time to time. In "Gilfeather", particularly.

This one is a trilogy, and book 3 is due to be handed in at the end of March. Ryce is back in book3

Just finished it. I particularly noticed how well you handled the birds. The descriptions were detailed and spot on in looks and behaviour.

(You wouldn't believe how often writers & artists get wings wrong.)

Loved the whole thing with the islands especially … umm… I suppose people wouldn't want spoilers… the sources of the plumes. Everything to do with that.

Yeah, the knitting together of the threads of plot & reveals characters being fleshed out (Mathilda is going rather as I suspected. I look forward to more of her brother) and what not are well done, but I've got to burble about someone getting the natural stuff, the birds right. It seems to be incredibly rare.

Is this a trilogy, or quartet?

Thanks, Jo!

To tell the truth, I miss those islands too…
