And lo, DRAGON JUSTICE (PSI#4) has gone off to Madame Editrix, and from there into the clutches of the copyeditor, and from there…
What began in 2004 with STAYING DEAD has come to a close. Ten books later, the last Cosa Nostradamus novel for Luna has gone into production.
There is rare steak and red wine tonight, to toast its journey. *raises glass*
You will have it in your hot little hands (or e-readers) in August. I hope you enjoy it. Actually, I hope you love it, devour it, howl at me, and demand that this Not. Be. The. End.
Because, although I will be writing something else for Luna (more on that in another post), I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye to the Cosa yet, myself. I had, after all, promised to tell Danny’s story. So I’m looking at Kickstarter, and thinking “hrmmmmmmm….”
*insert evil laugh here*

Ah, I didn’t realize you were ending the Cosa Nostradamus here…unless we your Minions and readers demand otherwise!
Yay – you mentioned Danny’s story at Capclave and I was hoping you’d think of Kickstarter. :D
We had discussed more books, but Luna asked me to move in a different direction with the Portals duology, which I’m also really excited about.
The advantage with going through Kickstarter is that I can give Danny full time on the stage, which might not have been possible within Luna’s guidelines. So – win/win?
Scratch my above comment.
Clearly the words have failed me.
I apologize, Laura.
What if I start wailing about “the end” now? I LOVE the Cosa books!!!!!!! OTOH I’d certainly fund more Cosa stories via Kickstarter, but I MUCH prefer print editions over e-book editions! (Have no e-reader, no desire to get an e-reader, & e-versions drive me batty when there’s no print option).
Danielle – I love ’em too, but there comes a time when the publisher says “ok, numbers aren’t growing, let’s try something else.” And they’re quite right to do so, by a business standard.
But for myself, and for readers, I’m thrilled to have another option. And, if we hit a point where it’s possible, there WILL be print editions…
