When Will Book Nine (BEES) Be Published?
Dear Readers, I am getting close to finishing the writing of and research for GO TELL THE BEES THAT I AM GONE, Book Nine of my Outlander series.
After I have finished writing BEES, a lot of further work has to be done (by my publishers and I) before BEES will be on the bookshelves for you to buy, such as editing, typesetting, creation of a cover, etc. The publishers will determine the final release date.
The BEES Publication Date Won’t Be A Secret!
I’m so glad that many of you are looking forward to this book being published. Be assured as soon as a U.S. publication date is known, it will be prominently posted here on my official homepage and on my official BEES webpage! The releases for international editions will be either on the same date or after the U.S. edition is published.
Please check back on this website periodically for news. Thanks!
