This question was asked about a year ago, but I am really enjoying the Emma of Normandy series and was hoping maybe you had an update as to when we could expect a third book? I cannot wait to see how this strong woman continues to live and deal with all of the obstacles and hatred the king has made her endure. I am hunting all the info I can find on Emma! True and fiction. Sounds like she was an amazing woman.

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your question. I can give you something of an update, but you won't find it very satisfying, I'm afraid. I have made great progress on the book, and I will absolutely complete the manuscript this year. After that, the process toward publication is in the hands of my publisher. So, what have I been doing as I write this book? So far---
Number of significant characters killed: 6
Total # of characters created, including their invented or updated detailed descriptions and backgrounds: 68
Settings researched and imagined: 25 towns in 3 countries; churches, great halls, royal chambers, ships, manors, abbeys, tents, army camps.
Research: the confusing, convoluted history of England in the years 1012-1017 and imagining the role that Emma might have played in all of it. If you've been reading everything you can find on Emma, you have an idea of how complicated it all is! I wish I could think, imagine, write faster. I cannot, but I'm doing my best. I know that Emma's fans are waiting. Cheers!

Hi Patricia! I am just starting The Price of Blood, and you have me hooked! Looking ahead, I was surprised to find that the 3rd book isn't available yet. As there are no date on the comments here, I cannot tell when you last responded to the questions about when the 3rd book may be available, and I'm sorry to ask you yet again, but is there a rough estimate of when PERILOUS TIDES may become available? Thank you!
