New Cinder Spires details.
« on: September 13, 2021, 11:53:05 AM »
So new Cinder Spire details from Jims Dragoncon 2021 QnA

1. Next book is 40% done will hopefully be done by Jims birthday 26th of October.
2. Circumventing the globe happened in the past there are records of.
3. Most shipping uses etheric currents from tower to tower. My analogy is Kinda like Hyperspace Routes in Star Wars.
4. Smaller ships go the long way round not using the etheric currents. Kinda like Smugglers in Firefly or Star Wars.

Thank you!  :)
Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Well, just was listening to the livestream for the release of The Law and it seems from what Jim said when he was asked about any sort of timeline for the release of The Olympian Affair that it will have to wait a bit more time until it is ready. Sad news, because I just reread the first book and was really looking forward to the sequel soon. But it will still well be worth the wait until it's ready, I'm sure.

Well, new update on the status of the book, in this recent interview Jim said "it's almost done". Fingers crossed that we'll get it early next year, then.

I haven't seen this posted here, so I thought to throw it in. A new update by Jim himself.

I thank you for the update, but I am afraid I have reached the point of "I believe it when it is actually printed and shipped"

Well, it took a bit longer than expected (about three months), but as seen on the front page of the main website, it's finally done. Now probably still six months or so until publishing, I guess...

yeah, he said editor. Not publisher. not printer. It's progress, but it isn't here. Gonna be months, but that beats years
