TQB reprint & other news

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!

Minor publishing news

I have, as of a few days ago, delivered TRUTHSEEKER, first of the paranormal romance duology due out from Del Rey in late 2010. TRUTHSEEKER is the story of Lara Jansen, who always knows when she’s being lied to–and who is therefore somewhat shocked when the new man in her life confesses–truthfully–to being a prince of Faery.

I’ll be starting book five of the Walker Papers in about ten days here. Keep an eye on the site, because I’ll be auctioning off a “Tuckerization”–a chance for a reader to have his or her name in the book as a character name.
