ARC of FIRES OF NEW SUN in print

The Advanced Readers' Copies (ARCs) of THE FIRES OF NEW SUN are printed and will be sent to reviewers during the first week of September. I hope the reviewers will rave about how wonderful the book is... or at least give it a halfway decent review! Time will tell. FIRES OF NEW SUN is the 2nd book in THE BLENDING TIME trilogy. The actual publication date for "Fires" will be January 2012.

BTW: An ARC is not the polished version of a book. If you buy or 'win' an ARC it will have typos and may have a different ending than the final version.

HOW TO CONCLUDE A TRILOGY

I've sent the publisher my final manuscript of book-2 in the BLENDING TIME trilogy: THE FIRES OF NEW SUN. Now I must finish the trilogy with book-3, to be finished by year's end. Questions to self: Do I have a 'happy' ending? It's a dystopia, so the ending cannot be a joyous, doing-cartwheels ending. Do our heroes (Jaym, Reya, and D'Shay) settle down, or go off to another another struggle in their dysfunctional world? Ah, so many ways a writer can go. Any reader tips welcome! (No title yet for bk-3).
