I have been having eye issues for some time and learned that I had cataracts. I am being operated on over two days – 30th October and 11th November so production may be somewhat limited during that time and for maybe a few days after.
I have been required to put drops in my eyes twice a day over the last three weeks whcih has also caused vision problems and slowed the writing down
Plus we are having a long weekend away next weekend (20, 21 & 22 October)
Plus I have a specialists appointment today and a doctors appointment tomorrow and a family get together Sunday and so and so forth.
I will try and get the Taxon paperback done over the weekend or early next week
Taroniah at Large is with the editor and I expect it to be out around the end of the month or more likely the first week of November
Kyron the Magician has been lagging due to the interruptions with my ability to write – I am hopeful of a late January or early February release date.
I haven’t decided which book to work on after Kyron so here is a vote:
The Princess and the Spy (Princess 5)
The Harrecan problem (New Fed 2)
Ostraya is being re-written in parts and I’m not sure when it will be finished.

New Fed 2 for me.
Good luck with your eye surgery and God Bless you with a speedy recovery. I have floaters which annoy the heck out of me. I can’t imagine how much worse Cataracts are. Don’t sweat the writing. Get well before you hop back into the rut and start pulling that plow.

it is frustrating – yesterday I had to have the final pre-surgery tests and then while one eye was okay the other was blurry all day which made VERY hard to write as I kept seeing double.
I thought about the patch thing and doing my best pirate impersonation but I’d been told previously not to do that so despite a good deal on a parrot I refrained.

Good luck with the surgery, I may be headed down that path soon for my left eye. As for what I’d like to see next, my preference would be The Princess and The Spy but I like the New Fed series so I’ll be happy either way.

Good luck with the surgery. Had it a few years ago, no problems. Could see better immediately.
My preference would be The Princess and The Spy.

As someone who has also had eye surgery (both eyes, for keratoconus), I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Depending on how the procedures go for you, definitely take pain meds before sleep, as it could be a long night.
I’m also another vote for Princess.

Best of luck with your eyes and thank you for updating us and setting our expectations. My vote is for the next Federation book; I’ve re-read the first so many times and squealed with glee at every mention of The Warrior.
