I’m a fantasy writer. I imagine places that don’t exist. I love to create weird and wonderful characters. I drink entirely too much tea.

Here's a longer, more official sounding version:

S.B. Nova is an English author of epic fantasy novels that focus on themes of found family, courage in the face of adversity, power and violence, oppressive authority figures, confining social norms, and sexual awakening. In other words, the horrors of growing up and the difficulties involved in finding one’s way in the world. The magic, ogres, dragons, and possessive fae are all just for fun.

Nova spends her time reading, writing, and dancing. She enjoys watching tarot pick-a-cards, wrestling matches, wuxia and xianxia shows, and street dance battles. The soun ...more

Hi! When is the next installment of outcast coming out?

Thanks for your question. I've copied and pasted a Q&A I did on my FB page here. I hope this will answer your question and any others that people may have about release dates etc. Also, just in case you didn't know the cover art for the sequel is not and can be viewed here. https://twitter.com/sbnova1

*Q&A*

?When is the next Outcast book released?

A: I'm aiming for Dec-April time. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's better to be vague than give specifics at this point. I can also tell you that I'm currently writing two books, and AKON works on a grander scale than AKOE. Hence the time it's taking :D.

?Can you give any spoilers for AKON?

A: Well, I can tell you that in this book, Serena IS transformed ... As are some of the others in different ways ;). This book will include intro's/meetings/references to Serena's sister and mate. We will hear from all the old favorites and be introduced to some new ones! Including a Jinn and a Siren/pirate.

?Can you give us a rough timeframe for your next releases?

A: AKON Dec-April 2019.
TBA Title, first book of my new RH series, Dec-April 2019.
My RH series will be more episodic in nature and shorter at 200-300 pages, so I'll be able to write the books alongside the others listed here.
AKOW (outcast) Dec '19-April '20.
AKOF (outcast) Dec '20-April '21.
Merlin Rises '21-'22.
Draken sequel '21-'22. Followed by two more in the SF series.

**This schedule is subject to change in case of unpredictable life events. But I will try to stick to it as much as possible.

?What is happening with Draken? When will the sequel be released?

A: This is a tricky one. It also demands a longer explanation. First off, I started writing Draken when I was caring for my mom over 5 years ago. Overall, it took 3 years to write and was a passion project. It helped with the anxiety and depression I suffered from back then. And I really had no idea if this could become my career. Of course I hoped it would be, but it all seemed impossible back then. Still, I always planned to write the sequel straight away. But then, AKOE came barging into my head right after I completed Draken and demanded to be written ... weird but true! And thank goodness I followed that instinct because otherwise I wouldn't be able to write full-time. It was my miracle.

Then, I planned on writing the Draken sequel after AKOE was out, but the straight up truth is that the Outcast series is more popular and has more of a following. The pressure and support for a release is greater. Also, I realized very early on into writing AKOE that it would become linked to the Southern Fire world (Draken), and that both of these books were like puzzle pieces to a greater story I wanted to tell. But it requires that I play the long game. Writing 2 series' plus a book that links them (Merlin Rises) is something that will take years. And given the timelines and how the characters will interact between all three it made sense for me to put the Southern Fire series on the back burner until I have the Outcast series done. If I tried to do it any other way, I'd be in danger of serious plotholes and confusion further down the line. Obviously, I could unpublish Draken in the meantime so that new readers didn't get annoyed or pissed about this. But that would cause its own problems.

I truly hate the idea of making people wait, and it isn't what I planned to happen, but then ... sometimes it's best to let life take you where you need to go instead of forcing it. SOOOO, long story short, the Outcast series will come first. There are 4 books in that series and one standalone book (Merlin Rises) that bridges the Outcast and SF series. So while we might not be looking at a George RR Martin timeframe for the SF sequel, there will be a longer wait between the 1st and 2nd book. A bit like an Outlander or HP timeframe.

?Will you set up an individual fan page for the Outcast series?

A: Absoutely! I can't wait to do this, and I plan to make pages for ALL of my series'. I also plan to add POV and other extras to the file sections on those pages. But I wanted to wait until AKON was out and then ask y'all if anyone wanted to be a moderator. Please let me know in future if that's any of you would like to do :).

Quotes by S.B. Nova (?)

“They won’t tell you fairy tales of how girls can be dangerous and still win. They will only tell you stories where girls are sweet and kind and reject all sin. I guess to them it’s a terrifying thought, a red riding hood who knew exactly what she was doing when she invited the wild in. ~ Nikita Gill ~”

“When I saw you … dying, it was … I never thought I’d feel fear like that again. But you’ve given me so much of yourself, all your memories—all of you. It’s been like absorbing a whole other person. So when that eerie crushed the air from your lungs, it felt like my heart stopped. Like it would stop the second yours did.”

The world tilted, went askew. I dared to utter, “That’s a bad thing, right?”

“When I stood in front of you
I knew something was in store
I could feel the excitement
Of our journey ahead
For I had been that way before

Each person comes into our life
With lessons we may see
And in the reflection of that other self
Is the person we can be”

“I was born long before our time,
And yet, my time with you
Is something new
For you awaken in me a spirit
That was longing for release
Waiting for your touch

I thought i was safe
To stay inside the boundaries and walls
I carried with me
You touched all of me
And we walked outside the lines
Together”
― Richard Cohn
