Since I will release my next book on Sunday, I thought it might be a good idea to update my release schedule and introduce you to the books for this year and the next.
End of February 2021 (Sunday 28th), I will release “The Lives and Times of Isadora Goode”, which is set in a world of superheroes and supervillains and introduces my second necromancer, Isadora Goode. She’ll have her hands full with her own family in “Birth of a Necromancer,” deal with powerful vampires in “Dracula’s Tomb,” and have to save her nemesis’ damsel in “Damsel Disaster.”
In May 2021, I will release “Grey Eminence,” the third volume of the Black Knight Agency. Steven and Jane learn that they are not easily replaceable in the underworld in this one.
In August 2021, “Ignition Rites” will follow. It’s the eighth Knight Agency novel in which Jane will have to deal with a strange cult after she has almost been sacrificed by being burned alive.
And, finally, in November 2021, I will top off the year in releases with “Flatmates & Spies” volume 1. Jamie Moriarty and Sherringford Holmes will have to deal with three missions for the secret service in this one, regaining “The Cannon Plans,” unmasking “The Chess Master,” and foiling the plan of “The Scarlet Madam.”
I also have finished plotting all releases for 2022, as it were, and am already in the planning phase for 2023.
In February 2022, Gabrielle Munson will return in the second volume of “Theoretical Necromancy.” She’ll be living through the “Return of the Devil Monks,” encounter blood magic in “The Cursed Paintings,” and deal with a con-man in “The Suitor.”
In May 2022, the stand-alone novel “The Fourth Reich” will present a possible future in which the Nazis managed to gain control of a big chunk of Europe on the second try, but have to deal with their own creations turning against them.
In August 2022, Isadora Goode will return in the second set of stories under the heading of “The Necromancer’s Notebook.” She’ll have to deal with suspicions against her brother’s damsel in “No Honour Among Villains,” dip into her alchemical knowledge in “The Medusa Serum,” and face off against a powerful dead necromancer in “The Lich’s Lair.”
In November 2022, I’ll release another stand-alone novel with “The Haunting of Winterthorne Hall,” which will do its best to emulate a nice gothic romance novel with ghosts, old ruins, and two couples coming together.
I have already plotted two books for 2023. The first is “Killer Investigation,” in which a hitman will be pushed into the role of investigator when someone else starts killing the people around his target. “Who is the Phantom?” is my take on a villain like Fantomas, but with a twist. Yet, neither of those is anywhere near written, only fully plotted. Other possible projects for 2023 include “Creatures United,” which is my take on the Dark Universe (since all but the Creature from the Black Lagoon, which I’ll replace with a mythical being from the Amazon, are public domain), a new volume of John Stanton, and perhaps, a first volume of D.I. Colin Rook.
There are other stories in my head, but they are nowhere near plotted or ripe for plotting. Yet, I have a lot of stuff that is ready or will definitely be ready in time, so the releases above are going to come this year and next. Afterwards, who knows?
