That help? :)


As long as you are in a revealing mood, could you share any info on the next House compendium? Were the sales from the first one enough to continue the project? If so can you tell us what the short story / novella is going to be about? The probable release date?

Does much rejoicing cover dancing in the street?

If I could dance I would but I would humiliate myself and my two friends if I did something so stupid :lol: At seventy years I am afraid that the last chapter will be written just a bit too late.
And, whoever, I thought it was the Wonderful Wizard Weber, not the Mad Wizard Weber. Of course when I need to wait one second too long before getting the next book, I do think of him in much less polite terms :twisted:

RFCs writing focus seems to have almost wholly shifted to Safehold, with the Honorverse being left to the prequel breakaway partnerships. As things stand we are looking at years before anything mainstream is available. There are just far to many loose ends with Mesa , Beowulf and the Sollies let alone the potentially major threat of the MA plans coming to fruition, now they have that confederation powerbase.


There's at least one new Honorverse novel in the queue this year. I've had to wait with the main plot line until Eric and my schedules meshed well enough for us to do Cauldron, since I couldn't know how/if events in it would impact my mainline books and I didn't want to run ahead of events in that book in the next solo. Hopefully, I'll be turning it in sometime late this summer or early this fall. I am assuming that if I make my delivery schedule, you would see the book in late spring of next year.

Oh yes! that does indeed help :) Thanks RFC.

I understand the need to get everything caught up before you could proceed and you certainly have a lot on your plate. So I was fearing that would mean you would not be in a position to submit anything until next year.

If I may interject? :geek:

As far as is known, the novella in House of Lies is rumoured to be about the origins of the Duquesne Plan. Whether this will give us a clue as to exactly how Mesa subverted Haven is up to RFC. ;)
