We have about 16 or 17 episodes left (but some will be doubled up due to size), so book one should finish by the 1st week of May at the latest. I plan to publish it in print and ebook form in early to mid-June.
I don't know for sure how long the hiatus will be after that. I basically need to whip the next book into good enough shape so that all I need to do each week is a final round of edits before publishing the episode(s). Most of books two and three are at that point already, so this process shouldn't take too long. I doubt the hiatus will be longer than 6 months --- and it probably will be closer to 3 months I think. I may opt to start sooner and space the episodes out a bit more (or perhaps a bit less regularly, so the less polished ones can get more attention as I go rather than up front).
If you or any other readers have a strong preference for either (i) regularly-spaced episodes that start a bit later or (ii) episodes published as I'm ready but which start sooner or (iii) a hybrid where most episodes are regular but there are a fair number of exceptions, I'd be very interested. As long as I can bring the book to where it needs to be without lots of deadline-related stress, I'm open to different approaches. In fact, if I can figure out how maybe I'll post a poll to see what everyone wants going forward.
Thank yu Ken, very detailed reply yu did, I honestly prefer the soonest way to start reading book 2, but I will accept the poll result if if yu will choose to do it, i again want to congratulate with yu because I really appreciate both theme both writing quality of this novel and I will reccomend it as much as possible. Ennio.
From some weeks I have the exact impression that book 1 will finish just when the part I would love more just started... How long will be the hiatus dear Ken!
