Jesslyn asked Helen Lowe:

Does anyone know when Book 4 of The Wall of Night series will be released? It seems like forever since Book 1.

Helen Lowe Hi Jesslyn,

Thank you for your question regarding the "when" for WALL#4 (working title, The Chaos Gate.)

The book is currently "in progress" on the authorial front but has suffered from delays that have chiefly arisen from my mother-in-law's terminal illness and recent passing. As I am sure you can imagine it has been a difficult time on the family front and much as I wish the writing was not affected by such big life events, unfortunately it is not immune.

As an avid reader myself, I very much appreciate how tough it is to become engaged with a series and then have to wait for the next installment. So I am always conscious of "readers waiting" as I work on the next book and also aware that a delay is not good news, for which I can only apologize, most sincerely.

As well as assuring you that writing is progressing, however, I'm also committed to ensuring that the story is the best it can be, which can also take time -- but with the hope that it will ultimately deliver on reader experience.

warm regards, HelenL
