Which Book?
A reader asks, "You said in an interview that Black Ships was actually your fourth book. How many books have you written, and what are they?"
Black Ships was my first book published, but the fourth one written. I've started a bunch of others, but I'm only counting the finished ones here.
The first book I finished was a Classic Battlestar Galactica fan novel that my friends and I did together, and finished when I was sixteen. It was about 75,000 words, but it was pretty dreadful!
The second book was a mess of a historical fantasy novel which I finished when I was eighteen, just before I left for college.
The third was a historical romance set in the Paris Opera in 1881, which I still hope to sell!
The fourth was Black Ships, written between November 2004 and New Year's Day 2006.
The fifth is another Numinous World novel which hasn't sold yet, called Fortune's Wheel, set in the French Revolution, with the 18th century incarnations of Gull, Xandros, etc.
The sixth is Hand of Isis, which just came out!
The seventh is Stealing Fire, a Numinous World novel set in the last days of Alexander the Great's empire and the first days of Ptolemaic Egypt. It will be out from Orbit in the spring of 2010! One interesting thing about Stealing Fire -- Gull is a man this time!
The eighth is in progress, about 50,000 words in, -- a direct sequel to Fortune's Wheel called The Chariot, set in 1804-1805. It hasn't sold yet.
The ninth is in the research phase, a Numinous World novel set in Persia in the reign of Darius the Great, tentatively called Lioness. It is also unsold so far.
So I've got a lot of things going on, and plenty to keep me occupied! Which one do you want to see most?
