Right now I'm about one-third of the way in to Book 6 in the Chronicles of Alsea series, tentatively titled Outcaste. At the same time, I am in the editing process for Book 4 (Catalyst), which is confusingly being published after Book 5 (Vellmar the Blade). Yes, it's a numerical mess but it will only be that way until December 7, when Book 4 is released. After that, everything will be in order again.
There has been much understandable confusion about Books 4 and 5 not being released in order. I chose to do it that way because Vellmar the Blade is not a full-sized book, nor is it truly part of the main story arc, and I had many readers anxious for something to tide them over until the next full novel. So Vellmar the Blade was a gift to my readers, and I hope that whatever confusion the publication order may have caused is outweighed by the enjoyment of not having to wait an entire year before being able to dive back into Alsea.
