Once again, it will be a point of unutterable joy to discover that I’m still alive and have simply been ignoring this site and you, the reader.

Clamouring as I can only assume you have been, quietly, to learn what I’ve been doing, you won’t have missed the release of the second book of my ‘Assassin’ trilogy, Forge of the Assassin. Other than that, I’ve been doing what I always do: nothing interesting whatsoever. Luckily, I barely notice the lack of thing because time is slipping by so fast, carrying me unerringly toward the grave that awaits us all. So that’s nice.

I have, however, written about 1/3 of the next book, which will be the second book of the ‘Fear’ trilogy. For anyone wondering why my non-linear, linky-but-not-sequelly series is suddenly full of trilogies and sequels: don’t. These trilogies alternate thusly and as such: Church of the Assassin, Fear of the Dark, Forge of the Assassin, Fear 2, Assassin 3, Fear 3. The whole sextology might even attain the title of ‘saga’; won’t that be exciting? I might work out a good way of visualising the links between all the books someday. Knowledge of books 1 and 2 would be beneficial to go into the Fear trilogy, but it might be cruel to suggest you read them. If you do, just bear in mind I wrote book 1 when I was about 12 and I have no excuse for book 2…

Anyway, while I go back to Juni and Archer and work out if there’s some kind of story I could be telling there, have at thine eyes this unbelievably well-designed and thoroughly thought through collection of nice quotes about the Assassin trilogy so far:
