Next up is <i>probably<\/i> (no promises) going to be <i>The Sorcerer&#8217;s Widow<\/i>, which may come out only novella length rather than a full novel.  I&#8217;m therefore planning (if it is that story) to cut the donor cost for a paper copy by five bucks.  I&#8217;m also hoping to work out the logistics for an e-book option for donors.  And I&#8217;m currently thinking it should start some time in April.  (I have three chapters written so far; I like to start with a backlog of <i>at least<\/i> four.)<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your support!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am pleased to report that The Unwelcome Warlock: A Legend of Ethshar is now available on paper, as well as in e-book form.
