Over on http://fantasyhotlist.blogspot.com/ Pat has posted a new Q&A email session he had with Glen Cook. By the end, Cook reveals that he has completed and turned in the manuscript for the third Instrumentalities of the Night book (as has been reported elsewhere, though no publication date has yet been announced). At present, he has four manuscripts underway. A Garrett one is no surprise, he always has a Garrett one chugging along in the background, and this one is under contract. Next is the fourth Instrumentalities book, something he had, a few years ago, hinted might come about. He also suggested a few years ago that he had titles in mind for two more Black Company books, and one of these is in progress. Finally, he at last confirms that there indeed will be another Dread Empire novel, as he is working now on A Path to Coldness of Heart! That phrase is actually the final words to the last Dread Empire novel, An Ill Fate Marshalling, so it seems that Cook is recreating the stolen manuscript that continues the storyline of the Dread Empire sequels!
I was so happy about this last news, when I read it at work, that I actually danced in a circle clapping my hands for a minute or so! I'm glad no one was around to watch, even if the moment was caught by the security cameras in place ;-)
The dam has been broken, and hopefully more concrete news of these various projects is made available soon!
Thought of the day: The Fort Collins Coloradoan is reporting that Colorado State Volleyball Head Coach Tom Hilbert has put himself in the running for the vacant volleyball Head Coaching position at CU Boulder. Weird. I wonder if this is serious, or just a fun testing of waters?
