Writing and Upcoming Releases
King’s Folly
I’ve been hard at work on the rewrite of King’s Folly. It’s a BIG book, so it’s taking more time that some books might. The rewrite is due back to my publisher on June 10. I should have a cover in late June to show you all. The release date shifted a bit. Now the first part ebook release is set for December 2015 with the full print version coming out April 2016.
Turning Point
This is an ebook collaboration I’m participating in with six other authors. We are putting together a temporary ebook set of seven YA books to sell for .99. This is in an effort to reach a wide, new audience with our books. Check out the Amazon.com preorder page to see the books that are included. Could be that there are some you’ve never read. And please consider helping us spread the word about this set. We’re only planning to release it for a month or so, then it will vanish forever. You can preorder now on Amazon.com, and it will be available on all ebook platforms June 1.
RoboTales
We’re expecting a book cover any day now for Tinker (book one), and then we will have an exciting announcement to share. We can hardly wait!
Broken Trust (Mission League, book 3)
This book is almost done. So close. But my King’s Folly edits arrived before I could finish it, so it moved to the back-burner. I will have a cover to share soon, though. I am determined that Broken Trust will release in 2015, I just don’t know when.
The Achan and Vrell Novella
This, I’m sad to say, might not happen as planned. *weeps* There is just not enough time in the day, especially when one is working on a massive epic fantasy. I’m not giving up hope entirely yet, but I’m not sure I will find the time to write this in 2015. :-/ (Click the image of Achan and Vrell to watch the book trailer these two starred in.)

Deborah O'Carroll says
Best of luck on your rewrite! GO GO GO! 🙂
I’m probably most excited about King’s Folly… April next year cannot come soon enough!
But really, I’m excited about AAAALL your things! ^_^ *eagerly awaits Broken Trust cover*
Jill Williamson says
Oh, good. King’s Folly is my top priority right now. Thanks for the well wishes, Deborah. 🙂
How goes your writing?
Deborah O'Carroll says
Well it’s a good top priority! 😉 You’re welcome! *hugs*
And my writing is… slow. :-/ But going, I suppose; if in a stop-and-go sort of fashion. 😛 I’m a bit stuck on both my WIPs right now and just started a new, random short story so maybe that will get me back into writing. 😉
Jill Williamson says
New projects can be just the thing to get you writing again. I hope it does, Deborah!
Micailah Cialella says
I am so very very very excited for the release of Broken Trust!! I received the first four books of the Mission League series last Christmas and I have reread the series several times. I love them!! I cannot wait for the next installment! Gotta see what happens to Tiger. 😀
Wishing you the best with your writing!
Jill Williamson says
Oh, yay! I love Spencer. His was the first book I wrote, so he will always be special to me. 🙂
