It is with the utmost delight and no small amount of profound relief that I announce that the next three October Daye adventures have been acquired by <a href="http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/daw/index.html">DAW Books</a>. That takes us all the way to ten, a benchmark I dreamt of but never thought I'd really reach.<br /><br />The next three books are:<br /><br /><i>The Winter Long</i><br /><i>A Red-Rose Chain</i><br /><i>Once Broken Faith</i><br /><br />(For the curious, the titles this time are from "A Winter's Tale," "Venus and Adonis," and "King Henry VI, Part iii.")<br /><br />I am...I am over the moon. This gets us through some really major story beats that I've been patiently setting up since book one, and moves us very solidly into what I think of as "act two" of the whole series (act one concluded with <i>One Salt Sea</i>). There are two more books to come before I start on this new set, <i>Ashes of Honor</i> and <i>Chimes at Midnight</i>, and having the security of knowing the story will go on is just incredible.<br /><br />Thank you, DAW, for having faith in me.<br /><br />And thank you all, for reading.
