I’ve been informed by my editor that THE QUEEN’S BASTARD has gone back to print for a fifth time. Presumably this is in response to a sales jump accompanying THE PRETENDER’S CROWN release, so I’m utterly delighted. Thank you all so much!
Someone asked recently if there would be more books in the Inheritors’ Cycle. I have plans for 2 or 3 more books in that series, but I haven’t yet sold them to Del Rey, the publisher for that series. I’ll be writing up a proposal toward the end of the summer, so hopefully I’ll have more information about whether the series will continue by the end of 2009.
In the meantime, DEMON HUNTS, book five of the Walker Papers, has been completed and delivered. There is, however, still time to bid to become a character in that book, and if bidding on both my auction items combined (the Irish gift basket is here) goes over $450 by the close of the auction on Sunday, I’ll write a new Walker Papers or Old Races short story for my internet audience. :)
And speaking of the Walker Papers, the mass market editions of books 1-3 should be available now! I’m ridiculously excited about these, as they’re my first mass market releases under the CE Murphy byline. May they be the first of many!
Not sure if this is the right place for the question but I’m going to try it anyway. I listen to your books (Walker Papers and the Old Races books) via Audible.com (downloading the book on tape to my Garmin GPS unit) because I do a lot of road travel. It’s a great way to be able to listen (and re-listen) to the books. My question is in regards to TQB & Pretender’s Crown. Audible.com isn’t listing them in their archives. Have the books been done as books on tape? If they have, I’d love to send audible.com a request to get them listed. Thanks -Caeria
It’s as good a place as any to ask. :) I don’t think they *have* been done as audio books, no. I’ll check with my editor, though, to see if there are any plans for that.

Hello! Congratulations on the mass market paperback editions! I just wanted to know if the rest of the Walker Paper books will come out in Trade Paperback first like they usually do – I’m one of those anal people who need to have the books in a series all the same format. Thanks! Zahra
Yep! WALKING DEAD will be out in trade paperback in about six weeks, and the plan is to continue to release them in trade before they eventually go to mass market. :) I like having series all in the same format, too. :)
