This week we've asked some Roc/Ace authors to write in and let us know what they've been up to. The first author to respond to our call was the inimitable Jeanne C. Stein, who here clues us in on what the next year holds for her!
Now that the third book in the Anna Strong series, The Watcher, is out, I’ll be busy for the next couple of weeks doing signings in Southern California and Denver. For those of you who haven’t read a blurb about The Watcher, Anna (bounty-hunter-turned-vampire) finds herself battling a witch with ulterior motives, a Mexican drug lord with ties to both the mortal and immortal worlds, a psycho hit man, and her own demons in her continuing quest to find a place in the world. It's a tough fight, but the one thing Anna has always been able to handle is trouble.
As for my new projects, I just turned in the fourth Anna Strong novel, working title Legacy, to Jessica Wade, my editor. The tentative release date for that one is September 2008. In the meantime, I have a short story in the anthology Many Bloody Returns (available now) that features a witch with a real split personality named Sophie. I’m working on a proposal to give Sophie her own book. I’ll keep you informed how that works out! I will also have a straight mystery short in an anthology entitled Scene of the Crime edited by Dana Stabenow. I don’t have a release date yet but it will be sometime next year and I’ll let you know as soon as I do.
As for the immediate future, I’m working on proposals for the next Anna books. I’m also in the early development stage for a new and different project that I hope to have ready soon. In my “spare” time, I still edit a newsletter for a beer importer and take kick-boxing classes to stay in shape.
