So, I was having a pretty good day today because, in my other persona as Lyda Morehouse, I had a really fun interview request from a reviewer in Spain about my Archangel Protocol book, which has recently been re-released in e-book format!
Then my good feelings came crashing down when I decided that I should probably check my email box as Tate, and I had to tell two fans of PRECINCT 13 that they needed to give up hope for a sequel. It occurs to me that I should probably take some time to update my website and let people know the sad, sad truth. Despite being advertised as "the first in a new series" everywhere, PRECINCT 13 is officially a stand-alone, as Penguin USA has decided to pass on the opportunity to publish a sequel.
I know, right? BUMMER.
I'm especially sad because I loved PRECINCT 13 in a way that I haven't truly loved a series of mine since the first Garnet Lacey book. I am still seriously considering the possibility of serializing the sequel online with the idea that eventually I would turn the finished project into an e-book. But, I haven't gotten started on that... perhaps with the New Year?
Yes.
I think I'll make that my goal. Starting in the New Year, it will be my resolution to write the sequel to Precinct 13. I think this is a good plan, because it's sincerely disheartening to have to tell people that no, they can't hope for a new book by me any time soon.....
And I'm determined to make 2013 a good year for Tate!

Please write a sequel! I just finished Precinct 13 and loved it. I would hate for it to end after one book.
I did start a sequel, but it's going to have to be a self-published e-book, and I have to admit that trying to find advance paying work has slowed down my writing progress. Fingers crossed, though.
