So, as promised last week, tis time to ponder the next book to be worked on by yours truly.

Here are a few birds that could be popped in the pot and brought to the boil over the next 12-months or so …

• A new Sliding Void scifi novel (book #7)… this has the same crew as Hell Fleet, so think a military SF theme.
• A new Jackelian fantasy/steampunk novel (book #8).
• The last novel in the Far-called sequence (book #4).
• A totally new murder-mystery detective novel (a contemporary setting with little in the way of SF elements).
• The sequel to Empty Beyond the Stars (book #2 in the Songs of Old Sol series).
• As well as the above five options, there is also finishing Chance Zapman & the Planet of Deadly Doom (my first science fiction comedy book).

I’ve already had a few readers asking for another Jackelian book – I suspect given the weight of numbers in my readership, and where many know me from, this is where my popular vote inhabits … but I’d be interested to hear from you about what you might fancy reading next from me?
