![]() ![]() It wasn’t on my long list of pending projects and ended up bumping some other titles. Recently I finished the draft for a science-fiction novel titled Hollow World. ![]() So I’ll be keeping an ear to the ground as Chronicles roll out, and if people want more, then I have plenty of material to draw from. I’ll never write a book “just for the money,” but I also can’t afford to write a book that no one will buy. For years we lived off my wife’s income, and now I’m glad to repay the favor. I wrote The Riyria Chronicles because there were a lot of people who still wanted more even after 685,000 words. The second component is demand, and I have no control over this. ![]() As I’ve said before, my own internal barometer is usually a pretty good gauge. Fortunately, I don’t see this as being an issue, as I already have several story lines that I find compelling. I won’t jump the shark and would rather leave money on the table than tarnish something that I’m very proud of. We’ve all seen series that kept putting out books (or television episodes) long after the magic is gone. First, I must have a compelling story to tell. For me there are two factors to consider. I would like there to be, but I’m also very protective of the series as a whole and I don’t want to ruin it by overstaying the welcome. ![]()
