Currently working on Cauldron.

We also have the next Honorverse companion in the works; Tim Zahn, Tom Pope, and I will be looking at the sequel to Call to Duty; and Joelle Presby and I are probably about 66% through with the third Multiverse book. Oh, and Baen and I are about to contract for a 5-volume fantasy series which will take the war between Norfressa and Kontovar to a conclusions.

Sides that, nothing much.

I do, and thank you all. It'd be nice if you didn't have to pull for She Who Must Be Obeyed (in Greenville), but I really do have some (modest) hopes that this may be the last spinal for quite a while. After all, we're running out of spine to be operated on!

Milla and Dick donate blood once every 6 weeks, one unit of blood is about 1/2 liter so every 6 weeks you have about 500 doses for the terminally ill. Within a fairly short time, you would have a fairly large population of Thuselas, enough to dose all terminally ill.

Lets play with the numbers. With a world population of 7 billion, that means that about 100 million die each year. Dosing say 50 million (got to account for accidents) with a 1 in 1000 success ratio would yield 50,000 Thuselas. Not a very rapid increase, but it would have plot possibilities.

And then Milla and Dick would get hit by a class action lawsuit from the families of the people the Thusela transfusion did not work on. Suddenly our cool, military oriented sci-fi novel transforms into a Grisham book.

I truly hope everything goes well for sharron, and real life takes precedence over writing no matter how we the fans may beg, you have already given us more wonderful stories then 80 odd percent of other authors will put out in a life time.
that all being said.
you mention so many books in there that are planned for "somewhere into the future"
may i ask you what you are currently working on in the near future? (cauldron of ghost needs to be finished if it isn't, beyond that no one seems to know what is really next in the pipeline)
