To slow down all the questions... It won't be ready this year.
After being sick for most of the year, I decided to write some stuff other than David. I just finished a story called The Outsider about a Montana cowboy who moves to Texas. I am almost done with the second Conclave book and I am working on a prequel to Star Academy called Norse.
I will probably start writing the next Better Man book around the first of the year. That means it will be ready about this time next year.
