Thank you for your response. I was hoping to be reading Dragon Knight by now...but I understand. The first two books were so so so so good!!!! You are a wonderful entertaining writer. I'm truly looking forward to Dragon Knight. I was hoping for a 4th and maybe 5th book...smile. Do you have other books that are series to tie me over until Dragon Knight is available? Or another wonderful book for me to read?

D.J. O'Brien Hi Levonia, thanks so much for the wonderful praise. I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the story so much.

Book three Dragon Knight is taking me a little longer than I originally expected. I work full time and write whenever I get the chance. Life sort of got in the way for a couple of months and threw a spanner into the works. Also, book three has gone deeper into Brinn's parents story, at least at the beginning of the book. There are so many threads that are now finally coming together for the final climax. You will be glad to know that book three is already at 95k words and there is still quite a bit to go to the finish, but I'm getting there, I promise. Thanks again for the lovely words. I will keep you posted when the book is finished. All I can say is I'm really happy the way the story is going. Best wishes, DJ O'Brien (less)

How do I or where do I purchase Book 3 in the Dark Lair Trilogy "Dragon Knight"?

Hope you are well. Many thanks for the question. Dragon Knight has not been released yet. At present it is 75% completed but will have to undergo editing and formatting to bring it up to a publishable standard.

As you can imagine there is a lot of work involved so the concluding book in the trilogy will not be available for a few months yet. I hope you understand. If you have any other questions please let me know.

Thanks and best wishes
