In a\u00a0 subsequent post, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/helenlowe.info\/blog\/2014\/12\/18\/the-journey-of-considerably-more-than-a-thousand-words\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Journey Of (Considerably More Than) A Thousand Words&#8221;<\/a>, I also shared something of the nature of the journey to book completion.<\/p>\n<p>At that stage, I hoped the book would get to readers in the Northern Hemisphere Fall \/ Southern Hemisphere spring 2015, but the publication date has been confirmed as January 2016.<\/p>\n<p>No one is more conscious than I that this date will be almost four years from the publication of <strong><em>The Gathering Of The Lost. <\/em><\/strong>I can only apologise for my part in what I know, as a keen reader myself, is a very long wait. I really, really wish it could be sooner for readers, but when a book has taken a long time to write, you lose your place in the production schedule and so must wait until a suitable slot comes up. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>However, my understanding is that the date is &#8216;firm&#8217; and so should not change again&#8212;unless of course, readers clamour so loudly that it is brought forward. But I suspect that would take a very high level of clamouring indeed.<\/p>\n<p>And trying hard to look on the bright side, I am hopeful that the January 2016 publication date may mean the gap between <strong><em>Daughter Of Blood<\/em> <\/strong>and <strong>The Wall Of Night Book Four<\/strong> is a whole lot shorter.
