The series is called the Warriors of Gaviron and the next two books are in development. That means I'm writing some really bad first drafts and hoping to have the second book ready by the end of the year.
As per my other books, my publisher sells new releases exclusively from their website for the first few weeks after their release. This practice makes more money for them and for me. It also takes advantage of their regular customers who are quite numerous. Small publishers come and go. New Concepts Publishing, though not the largest small publisher, has been around longer than most of them. Some of you may have heard of the latest small publisher struggling with revenue. Ellora's Cave has been around for quite a while also but they've cut staff and their authors are worried. Here's more detail in an article on Publishers Weekly.
The last book in my Recon Marine Series, The Marine's Doctor, is now available at all major ebook retailers and is enjoying good sales on Amazon and has garnished some nice reviews here and there. It wraps up that series and answers all the threads of that futuristic world.
I'm looking forward this week to the release of Brent Weeks newest book, The Broken Eye. It's the third book in his Lightbringer series. Can you tell I love to read and write series. I'm also looking forward the DVD release of season one of The Musketeers, the latest remake of that story by BBC America. It's very entertaining if you haven't checked it out yet.
Have you heard about Ellora's Cave and their troubles? Any new books or movies coming out that you're looking forward to? Should I be worried that the warrior on my book might look like a terrorist instead of an alien using a mask to protect himself from Earthling germs?

Congrats on the release of your new series! Just read the summary for the first book on the New Concepts' page, and it sounds so intriguing. Good luck writing the next two books!
Congrats on your new book.
So many small publishers are struggling. They are caught in between the big boys and the self publishers.
Wow, really on a roll, congrats indeed. Never knew of that small publisher's woes, although very many seem to be in the same boat
That's out today? Congratulations!!!
Congrats Susan!! You're a writing machine! :)
Congratulations!
I had no idea you were so prolific!!! It makes me feel a bit ridiculous struggling with this SAME WiP for... well, a very long time.
I heard about EC and their troubles. Made me worry for the authors I love still writing with them. I'm super excited to know you have a new release! Especially on the heals of Mak's story which I got off of amazon straight away. Now I'm eager to get a hold of TWATB. Hopefully issues in the publishing world will settle soon and business can be about writing and readers :)
I have heard about Ellora's Cave, but I think these publishers that have been around for a while will weather the lull in sales. Congratulations! And I didn't think your warrior looked like a terrorist at all! Mysterious and a little like a ninja, maybe. :)
Congratulations, Susan! I'm thrilled for you.
One series wrapped up and another one just kicking off... looks like an exciting place to be! Congrats.
