Now that In Her Name: First Contact is in the final review stages (the last round of revisions is underway now!), I decided to go ahead and get started on the next installment of the series, which I’ve given the tentative title of In Her Name: Legend Of The Sword.

I wish I could give you more of an idea of what’s going to happen in this book, but it’s a bit hard to say because I don’t write from an outline! So my fingers sort of decide what’s going to happen as I type. Go figure.

What I can tell you is that Tesh-Dar, the warrior priestess who was one of the main supporting characters of the original trilogy (Empire, Confederation, and Final Battle – and the omnibus edition, of course), appears to be playing a more central role in this one. In fact, “Legend of the Sword” is a reference to her.

My suspicion is that, much like First Contact had a heavier emphasis on the human point of view, Legend Of The Sword will favor the Kreelan point of view. It certainly has in the first chapter, the draft of which is just about finished.

So, stand by for updates on that, and I’ll let you know when First Contact is ready to hit the streets!
