FanLit Asks: December 4, 2012

Some of your favorite authors take some time to answer our questions:

What are you working on these days?

Morgan Keyes (Mindy Klasky): I just finished the sequel to Darkbeast, which is tentatively called Darkbeast Rebellion. (It should be in stores about a year from now.) Next up, I’m working on a totally new fantasy series, about a boy born without magic in a society where everyone else has special powers.

Stephen Deas: Edits to my next dragon book and the first draft of the one after. Other things I can’t talk about just yet, but I can say that I’m putting ideas together for a collaborative Space Opera series.

Laura Bickle: I’m working on the sequel to The Hallowed Ones, which will be called The Outside. It’ll be released in spring 2013.

Read any good books lately?

Michael J. Sullivan: Anthony Ryan’s Blood Song has been a nice surprise. Currently it is self-published, but the series has been picked up by ACE and will be republished. Checkout out the Amazon reviews of this book… Ryan is going to be an author to keep an eye on.

Philippa Ballantine: I just finished and loved Kate Locke’s book God Save the Queen. It’s a bit steampunk, a bit urban fantasy, and really has an interesting take on vampires as well. Kate knows how to tell an engrossing story!
