In 2025, I am staying home (as much as possible) to work on A BLESSING FOR A WARRIOR GOING OUT, the tenth in my OUTLANDER series of major novels that focus on Jamie and Claire. Book Ten will be another Large Novel, so it will take some more time to complete.
Click here to visit my official webpage for A BLESSING FOR A WARRIOR GOING OUT for current news and excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from this new novel.
Book Ten will follow GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE (nicknamed “BEES”), the ninth book in my OUTLANDER series of major novels featuring Jamie and Claire. BEES was first released on November 23, 2021.
After I finish writing A BLESSING, it will not be immediately available in bookstores or in digital format. Why? The book is handed to my publisher in the U.S.A. first, and it will be edited, typeset, artwork done, etc., which takes more time. (Editions for the U.K., Canada, Australia, and Germany often are released at the same time as my U.S. edition, or soon after.)
In my “What Finished Means To An Author” blog post from March, 2021, I discuss what happens during the editing and publication process.
As to the exact date a book will be in print or available digitally after I finish writing it, the official release date is completely up to my publishers in the U.S.A. and other countries or publishing regions..
International editions will go through editing and publication processes, too, which vary by country or publishing area as well as a language translation, if required. Each international publisher sets their own publication date.
Thanks!
