In an impassioned plea from comments, Heather writes:
I see with dismay and a tinge of mournful disbelief that your Negotiator series is billed as a trilogy. :( Only three? Could you so easily leave this fantastic world you’ve created? If it must be a trilogy, can you nevertheless continue with Margrit and the Old Races in another series? Oh, please!
Margrit’s story will be wrapped up with the third book. I do have about eight other ideas for stories set in the Old Races world, and she may be a supporting character in some of those, but writing them is a long way out: I’m planning to finish the Walker Papers before I go back to the Old Races, so it’ll be several years before I return to that world.
The good news is that there’ll be a Janx and Daisani short story in an anthology published by Subterranean Press released next year (I think released next year o.o), so there’ll be at least a hint here and here of more of the Old Races. :)

Will it tell of who’s the father of the baby is?

I can’t answer questions like those! :)

Could you give me a little hint?

OH!!! Now I have something else to look forward to besides the third book! ^^ You’ve just made my night. =)

Yay, for anthologies! :-D I cannot wait to read more of this series, it truly makes me happy that there will be even a little bit more of it beyond the third book! ^_^
If I may ask, I do have a question; can you by any chance let me know the title of the book your Janx and Daisani short story shall be published in?
Thank you! :)

I’ll let people know when I have a book title! :) It’ll be posted here, fear not. :)

No hint huh?
March 12th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Nary a one, Judie, sorry. :) You’ll have to wait and see! :)

Didn’t want to leave this where others could see, but have found no option -
I’m sure our lawyer will notice this but:
When Alban killed Ausra, consorting with humans was still verbotten and the offspring thereof were not considered to be of the Old Races. Therefore, killing her was not a crime according to their law at that time.

When *is* the third one coming out, anyway?
Because one of the greatest compliments is more sales: I just finished Heart of Stone this morning and will be picking up both House of Cards and Urban Shaman this weekend. *g*

Book 3 is out in September. Not too long now. :)
Thank you for the compliment of more sales! I hope you like the Walker Papers, too! :)

I was wondering if there was going to be more of the walker papers and if so when?
