By now, many of you know that the Judas Chronicles are set to resume, with Immortal Storm (Book 9) planned for release sometime in the next four to five months. :-) The research is now complete for the story that not only will deal with a blood coin that was missed by Judas/William in his efforts to collect all thirty, but also will set the stage for a three-book mini series (Books 10 through 12). Those boos will deal with an even greater menace (based on a Sci-Fi trilogy idea that Fiona and I had originally planned as a separate entity, and that fits in very well with Roderick's continuation of the immortal storyline).

The plotting for the story has officially begun today, and while some authors can fly through that aspect, for me it is a slower process--much like interior design work or a complete makeover for one's home.... Lots of trying out different ideas in various places, before coming up with a unified scheme that works well--which has been my method for plot creation since Fiona and I began work on "Toxicity" three years ago. Since it seemed to work well for "Immortal Supremacy", too, I will stick with it for this latest chapter in The Judas Chronicles.

I can tell you that the ideas are rolling in, and I am truly excited about this new adventure. More to come in the months that follow, and with any luck, Immortal Storm might well be ready before Christmas. :-)

All the best, my friends! ~ Aiden
