At last we’re gearing up for the release of Cassiel’s Servant on August 1st! It seems like forever, and it surely has been a long five years since I announced the project. In the lead-up to Joscelin’s version of events, Tor Books is relaunching the original Kushiel’s Legacy series in a shiny new trade paperback edition! The idea is to give a whole new generation of readers the opportunity to discover Terre d’Ange.
As of this writing, promotion and marketing plans are in the development phase. Will I be doing booksignings? Yes! Where and when and how do I order a signed copy? I don’t know yet! I will post details here when I do, and you can also sign up for my newly reinstated newsletter, or follow me on social media.
One thing I am sorry to report to my readers overseas is that the UK rights to Cassiel’s Servant actually haven’t sold. Yet! Tor UK is also relaunching the first trilogy, so perhaps that will create momentum.
For readers wondering if Kushiel’s Legacy will ever make it to screen… probably not. I’ve always said it was a very, very long shot. The film/tv rights have sold several times! We’ve had serious interest and efforts put forth in the past few years, but no project has reached the development stage. Maybe another door will open in the future. Right now, we’ve knocked on all of them and never made it past the foyer.
And I’m okay with that.
Another question: Do I plan to continue telling Joscelin’s story? Believe me, I’ve thought about it. A companion book to Chosen would give him an entire middle act stirring up trouble in La Serenissima with Ti-Philippe. But then there’s Avatar. You know what I’m talking about. I’m not sure anyone wants to go there again, including me. So we’ll see.
Until then!
