Hi Diane,
Thank you for getting in touch and for reading all of the books so far.
Third Eye WILL be out some time in 2023, but I can’t say when; this has not been a book without issues.
During lockdown, I was able to write much more quickly, and I probably didn’t realise how much it was taking out of me. When I started writing 3i, we were also starting to do “stuff” again, like go on the holidays which had been endlessly postponed. Not only that, 4RC marked the end of a huge story arc in the world of the King’s Watch, and getting both the next arc going and incorporating The Wedding 💒 proved much harder than I’ve found to write a book.
I took a few months out to clear my head and help my little sister write her charity novel (“Murder Within Tent” by Ruth Ward). Have a look for it.
However, now that Christmas is a memory, I am hard at work on 3i again, and if the gods are willing, it will be out this year.
Sorry to go on, but that’s the full picture.
Thanks for your patience.
Mark.

Enjoyed book one of the Kings watch series and on to book two this evening/weekend. May I ask why none of the series are available on audible as Audio Books? I do understand that a top tier reader would need to be selected for the entire series, but I am into my 70s and find that there are days when listening to a well-read good book has become more of a requirement than just a convenience for use when on a road trip.

Hello Mark, do you have any say in the choice of narration in the audiobooks on Audible? I’m re-listening your more than excellent King’s Watch series in preparation of starting on Second Nature. Once again the question presents itself; why oh why was the second narrator introduced in the later books? Cairan Saward does a stellar job for both the male and female characters, but the second narrator… well, not realy.
