We're starting to see Stefano Marino's "war" up close and personal, and it's probably the most daring of the series yet. (And, to those who wondered, I wrote "Dark Soul 3" before the shit in November happened - way before).
So, here's Jordan Taylor's splendid cover:
AND! The first reviews are in, too - check them out at Goodreads.
Regarding the next installments - I'm currently working on Dark Soul 4. It's a struggle getting the words down, so after a solid three weeks of struggle I have something like 4,000 words (I've written blog posts that were longer). Right now, the next part is called "Dark Rival". I expect to write Dark Soul 4 before the year's up, and then Dark Soul 5 in January, which should be the last installment, and should bring the total wordcount to at least 80-100k, which is a good size to go into paper. I haven't really made any plans beyond that, the block is pretty harsh to me and strangles off all "wouldn't it be cool if/when..." thoughts which stand at the start of any book.
So, even writers-blocked to hell and back as I currently am, I manage a hundred words or so if I work hard enough. It might take eight or nine hours of solid work before I get even one sentence down, but I'm very much your average Taurus. Head down and charge, and the problem might go away. Works more often than not. :)
As one of the things to come out of all this, however, I've resolved to translate some of my German stuff into English. I can do translation when I'm too much of a whimp to dig up new words.
