Hi, Kevin! So sorry I didn't see this question until now! Obviously you've seen No Pain, No Gain was released! We have plans for two more stories, one coming later this year. If you'd like a couple of hits, we're currently planning HM8 around Deadeye (our sniper from Where Angels Fear to Tread) although that might change, and HM9 will likely be Finn and Morrissey (who have been mentioned throughout the series) and Joker from Lawson & Greer. We would love to hear your opinion! Are there any secondary characters whose story you'd love to see? <3 Thanks for reading! Ari

Hi!
Good news — we submitted Blood Bathory 3 to Torquere Press this month and received an official acceptance, so the third book should be coming out sometime in 2016. We'll announce the release date on our website as soon as we find out what it is. :D

Yep! The title is actually Herc's Mercs: Once a Hero, and it's #4 in the Herc's Mercs series.

Hi! We're so glad you like the Blood Bathory series; the first Blood Bathory novel was actually the first original novel we ever wrote together, so the series is special to us too.
The good news is we're currently working on the rough draft of the third book in the Blood Bathory trilogy! We're writing the final action sequence, so we've probably got 2-3 more chapters to write. Once we're finished with the draft, we'll let it refrigerate a little while, then review it, edit it, and submit it. We're hoping we can get it wrapped up and submitted in time for it to be released this fall, depending on when Torquere can fit it into their schedule.
We hope you enjoy it when it does come out! Even though this will be the final book in the trilogy, we do have ideas for other stories set in the BB universe, so you'll probably get to see these characters again. :D

The next Herc's Mercs book is "Herc's Mercs: Bloody But Unbowed", and it'll be released on January 7, 2015!

We're currently working on a draft of Blood Bathory 3! We've made good progress on it, but we still have a way to go. Barring unforeseen obstacles, we intend to have it submitted to Torquere by early 2015, and then it'll be up to them to decide where to fit it on their schedule.
