Work in Progress
Ray posted the following.
Book titles are odd things. Some are obvious and others hide until the author hits a point in the work where it suddenly presents itself. My first book's working title was Riftwar. My editor thought it was "Too Science Fiction sounding for a fantasy novel." Having a degree in Mass Markets and Public Opinion I wasn't about to argue with a pro in a field new to me. So, on the fly I said, "Magician." Not a bad call, apparently.
So I've been working on the next project a while without a title. As I plotted along, in my head I got to a point of anticipating a scene I may not write for a while (writers do that) because knowing where you're going keeps you on course (writers often need that, else we go a'wandering.)
So, now I have a title.
A Light Between The Heavens.
Now I just have to finish writing it.
Admin note: titles sometimes change beffore publication.

A Darkness Returns - Synopsis
As worlds collide…
Hatushaly, last scion of the Firemane dynasty, his beloved Hava, and their dubious friend Donte have been transported across space and time from the war-torn world of Garn to the relative peace of Midkemia.
There, on Sorcerer's Isle, under the guidance of the magician Magnus and his erstwhile father Pug, in his reincarnated form, Hatu will explore and expand his unique magical abilities.
With the evil Pride Lords defeated, the Church of the One has risen to bring death and destruction to his home world. The Church is sending forces against Marquensas, where Daylon is now king, and Declan Smith finds himself suddenly and unexpectedly raised to the status of prince and war commander.
But an even greater menace than the Church of the One lies in wait, a creature from the Void, bent on the destruction of all living things.
Pug, Nakor and Magnus will need to join forces with Hatu, Hava and Declan if they are to save the worlds of Midkemia and Garn from everlasting darkness…

Latest book update
Ray just posted.
After consulting with my editor, I get to keep my job. Seriously, what originally was projected as a two book project, The DragonWar will be another trilogy. Book One, A Darkness Returns, should be handed in this month. (Unless I get a phone call from an insanely beautiful woman who owns a distillery or win the Lotto. Either of those happen, all bets are off).
