Today it really came home to me that there are just on 6 weeks to go<\/strong> until The Gathering of the Lost<\/em><\/strong> is published! That is, just under 6 weeks in the USA & Canada, and just very slightly over in the UK\/AUS\/NZ.<\/p>\n

I “knew it” intellectually, but for some reason it hasn’t seemed quite real—possibly because there have been\u00a0 so many other things happening in the “here and now.”\u00a0 But seeing an advance post on the wonderful Beatties Bookblog the other day stsrted the process of ‘making it real’—if interested you can read that post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So now I’m thinking that I probably need to do something to get into that countdown mode. For The Heir of Night<\/em> I had some ARCs (Advance Reader Copies) to give away, but that’s not the case this time around, so I shall have to put my thinking cap on …<\/p>\n

But I can confirm that I will be doing a Big Idea<\/strong> post on John Scalzi’s Whatever<\/strong> blog on 29 March—and yes, there is actually a big idea for The Gathering of the Lost<\/em><\/strong> that is different from that for The Heir of Night<\/em>, although I didn’t realise it myself until I’d finished writing the book. So it’s a kind of underground<\/em> big idea—but I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until 29 March to find out more! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if you want to read the Big Idea post for The Heir of Night<\/em> again, it’s still here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
