I think I'll post a monthly update on the future plans for publishing different works - save answering release-date questions individually. :D

Caveat: All dates are tentative. Lots can happen, some good, some bad. So all dates are subject to change.

To explain more in depth:

Production: Projects I'm actively working on.

Concept: Ideas I'm fleshing out - may go somewhere or not.

Iced: Things I've done work on, sometimes significant amounts, but have mostly shelved due to time constraints. I pull these out and work on them when I need a break from current projects.

Plotting: I'm not really a plotter. For me, this stage is more about refining the idea and research. For instance, my Carew series is typically based on or includes historical events, so I do a lot of research and tweaking of those before I start actively writing the bits that are plot and not character driven.

Editing: My editor (wife) does two full passes -- usually more than that, since I revise things right up until the very end, much to her annoyance.

I typically put a book on preorder once I have it both in Editing and the cover, and I make those long preorders to be able to bring them in closer without risking meeting the date.

Lastly, I'll be putting the full work up on Patreon as soon as the second editing phase is done. That's separate from any preview chapters.

Sick. Thanks for sharing this. Knowing at least a tentative date makes waiting easier. Looking forward to pre ordering goblin gigs and warlock 3. Any changes to preview chapters on Patreon? Do you expect to release any new povs for warlock via Patreon?

Woohoo Carew is back baby

Nick Drake

Noooooo only 6 warlocks!?!

Isaac

Will the audiobook release date be the same as the regular release (given the 1 month lag after Patreon) or will that be later?

Richard Cartwright

I'm going to provide the sincerest form of flattery. Stealing that spreadsheet idea.

Perversity

Guess that explains why you take so long getting the warlock books out. Sucks since those are the only books I'm interested in.

Bryan Wallbridge

Now the comments from your editor make more sense.

Silent Monk

Wow Warlock 3 released in Mid-July, with Patreon possibly in six weeks time!?! A feel a movie quote here : What a machine!

Jesse

The first entry under concepts seems to have gotten clipped by the excel sheet. School for Wayward ???

In one of your other posts you mentioned that you use some AI editing tools as well, where do these fit into your workflow? Also if you could name drop the tools you use I would find it really interesting. Can't wait to read more of your stuff!

I hadn't realized about your other works/pen names until this post, and I've got the Carew books queued up for this weekend... but under Concept, what is "Hockey 2" under "Sanders" Pseudo? I'm working under the assumption "Hockey 2" implies that its the second book in a series?

Lokison

Of course I’m ecstatic to see the future lineup for Kensington but I’m equally happy Sanders has space going forward too. Thanks!

Martin Elzen

I re-read Warlock 2 for a bit, and darn the editing has been done well! It's so nice to read well edited fiction. Can't wait for the next Warlock book!

I didn't realize you were also J.A Sutherland of the Alexis Carew series. I had that on my "To Read" list without even knowing.
