4. The aforementioned sci-fi series that Jim has mentioned in the past may be the next project he pursues, once Alera is complete, but he has another option he is still considering. That options, is a co-author project with an author friend of his (can't recall his name).
Cam Banks, author of
The Sellsword. We got to hang out at San Diego Comic Con and again when he came to New York for ICON. He's a really cool guy, and I'd be very curious about what kind of story they'd come up with!
He's also mentioned the possibility of collaborating with one of my favourite authors, Pat Rothfuss, author of
The Name of the Wind. This notion makes my squee gland convulse with unbridled joy.
