Has KK given any hint when the third Childe Morgan book will be out?
Not really, although she's almost finished writing it. But no clue on a release date.
Sorry.
Hi, Snuffybear! I'm not sure KK herself knows when the book will be out, given that she's already past her original deadline for completing it (real life keeps happening and taking precedence over getting the book completed), but she is always glad to give her fans progress reports on what she's gotten done from week to week. She was out of town this past weekend, but I believe she'll be back in the Forum chatroom next Sunday, so if you are able to get to the next KK Chat (on Sundays at 7:00 pm US Eastern time, whatever that translates into for you, and a link to the chatroom is available in the top section of the Forum home page), she might be able to give you some sort of rough guess about when she thinks she'll have the book completed. After that, add in several more months for the publisher to actually get it into print and onto bookstore shelves.
No matter how long we have to wait for the book, it will be well worth the wait!!
I just re-read both Books again. My "allergies" must have flared up reading the two, but several Kleenexes mopped up the situation. Looking forward now more and more to Book 3. Alaric is one of my favorite characters.
Real life is real life, but it's been 6 years since CM2. Hope nothings too awful
KK hasn't given any indication in chat that anything is particularly wrong, and CM3, tentatively titled The King's Deryni, is with the editor now. :)
She said something in chat fairly recently about when she thought (hoped?) it might be in print. Originally her hope was that it would be out this coming Spring, but the last time she mentioned it, that got pushed later to either summer or autumn, didn't it? So you could try looking through the last few weeks of chat archives to see where she mentioned that. She finished the final edits and sent it in to the editor last September, IIRC.
I remember her saying something, but I don't recall what it was and I'm too lazy to go fiddle around with the chat transcripts and find it. :P
From the 22 December 2013 transcript:
Quote[Sunday, December 22, 2013] [07:18:17 PM] <KK> It's scheduled for release next December. I have to get the chapter headings done in the next few weeks.
A-ha. Somebody who's less lazy than I am. :P
Amazon has 'The King's Deryni' listed for release on 12/2/14. 9 months 3 days and counting...
Pax,
John
Woo hoo! =o)

US/UK differences had me really excited there for a minute - 12/2 for UK means 12th February. Never mind - a nice Christmas prezzie to self
Oh, yes, and I already have that week submitted off from work for vacation. No question what I will be doing between Christmas cooking and house decorating.
Can't wait!
I will be standing in front of the book store waiting for it to open on 2 December!
I'll have to read ItKS and CM again in the Fall, to make sure I'm up to speed on all that has happened before. :)
;D**Happy Dance** ;D
Meh, it's not listed on .co.uk. I hope that doesn't mean I'm going to have to order from the US.
Her more recent books have also been available in Kindle format, so if you have to order from the US Amazon store, that's one way to avoid shipping costs.
I've got all the others as hardbacks, though. So, y'know *twitch* completeness *twitch*.
Plus, if you're in the UK, you can't buy Kindle books from the US site. Which is annoying, because .com always seems to have better deals than .co.uk. :(
Certain avid book readers in the US might be willing to consider a trade of a US hardcopy edition for some harder-to-obtain-in-the-US title or another. Not that I can think of any particular examples at the moment, but I'm sure I could come up with some if I gave it enough thought. ;)
I am glad I am not the only one going through withdrawal for a new story. I re-read the two. That did not help. So now I have re-read most everything. I cannot re-read King Javan's Year, there is not enough Kleenex.
Sorry - I'm a bit of lurker !
but its on Amazon.co.uk now
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Kings-Deryni-Novel/dp/0425276686/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401895961&sr=8-1&keywords=the+kings+deryni
Thank you - it's ordered. :)
Thanks for delurking to post that, heretoday52!
For those of you who have done Amazon pre-orders before, does Amazon charge you at the time of pre-order, or when the book finally comes out and is shipped to you? I don't use a credit card, and I wouldn't want to have the money charged to my debit card at a time when my balance is low, which is why I haven't done a pre-order yet. (I know I've got sufficient funds in my account now, but I have no idea what my balance will look like at the time the book is released.) Or does Amazon simply let you know when the book is ready to order, and leave it to the buyer to decide whether to actually purchase it or not at that time?
Reading carefully through my Amazon order confirmation the money is charged on dispatch which will be on the release date. Once you have ordered then it automatically goes through so it's a question of keeping an eye on the publication date. Like you I don't have a credit card (an invention of what they call round here "the other fella" as opposed to "the big fella") but was worried that by December 2nd I will be too busy to remember to order. The price was quoted in £ so hopefully that means the book is being published over here, most of my KK titles are second hand from your side of the water and can take up to a month to arrive. And I shall go mad if I have to wait until after Christmas...
Yup, that was the Amazon.co.uk listing, although US Amazon also has it available for pre-order.
I'm sure everyone will now put December 2, 2014 on their calendars. The countdown has begun!

I shall go mad waiting until Christmas. :o
There have been instances of books going out from Amazon a few days before official release, though, so if you're pre-ordering it might be worth making sure there's enough there from a week or so before. And if the price goes down in the meantime, they adjust what you pay accordingly.
IIRC Words of Radiance was shipped to a few customers ahead of release day.
