Jacob asked Hugo Negron:

As someone working on their M.A, in I/O Psychology myself, who also happens to be an avid Fantasy reader, I must say that your series is very well written, and I have quite enjoyed it thus far. The only thing left to ask is, when is the next one coming out?

Hugo Negron Hi Jacob - congrats on your program! Wishing you all the best in achieving your M.A.. Are you looking to instruct or consult? The one thing I still remember as an amazing reality experience at the school I attended (CSOPP for short) was a battery where they placed you in a "life in a day" scenario - you came into a room setup with a laptop and an "in" box with memos and assignments as if it was a real job and you are then told your boss just quit - so you had to complete these "leftover" assignments, do research for a white paper, and present with your peers before a panel - all within a limited time frame. The most nerve shattering "exam" I ever took - but worth it in regards to preparing you for the "real world".

Anyway, thanks so much for liking the series! Would love to hear your thoughts on what you enjoyed most. I have just submitted Book Five, Knighthood's End, to my editor - so the time frame will probably be around October or so. It brings the end of the Sir Rutt subplot, the supposed "curse" subplot, and takes Qualtan's growing discomfort with the Order of the Bearded Lion (and daresay his growing arrogance) to an extreme measure with what happens in this story. There will be a contest at some point to pinpoint the first appearance of a certain character that plays a big role in this book, so be on the lookout for that.
