I have been going back and forth, trying to decide which of my out-of-print novels to reissue after Hannah's Garden. The stand-alone novels seem easier, cleaner, less complicated, and at least well-edited. But how wondrous and strange it is that the Oran Trilogy, a barely edited three-volume sprawling series, continues to be the most asked for in my list. So be it.
With the help of a terrific editor and copy editor, I will spend the summer months re-reading and editing the original manuscripts. My greatest hope is that my readers will not notice the changes but rather sense the more cohesive narrative of the edited versions. It will be a journey backward for me, as it has been many years since I read the entire series. I look forward to experiencing it for the first time, not just as an author but as a reader.
I am pleased now to be able to show the gorgeous cover art for the trilogy, especially since the old covers were beyond awful.
Yay! I didn’t presume to request, but I have copies with the Jody Lee and Dennis Nolan covers, as well as the Firebird versions… Will be wonderful to have ebooks!
Thank you! I have to say that Jody Lee’s cover was my favorite. I have just sent her an email asking if she might be interested in doing some new covers for my work. So — thank you for mentioning her name to me again.
Such exciting news! The Oran Trilogy is one of my lifetime favorites, and my paperbacks are all but falling apart.
