Wow - my second blog entry this month. Is it a special occasion or something?

Yes, actually. In case you haven't heard, Del Rey is signed on to continue publishing Star Wars books right through to 2013. The current plans include roughly 35 novels (SW fans are voracious readers!). And among those novels will be the third book in the Darth Bane series!

I like the sound of that, so let me type it one more time:

There will be a third Darth Bane novel!

If you think I'm excited, you should see the mega font I used on the NEWS page of my website to announce this. (Okay, maybe it's not that impressive. My website is functional, not aesthetically pleasing.)

I'd love people to click the link and check out my site, but just to make it easy on you, I'll summarize the info from my website:

Darth Bane #3
Title: Not sure yet...
Release Date: I don't quite know. 2010, maybe?
Returning Characters: Bane, Zannah (Ha! I got one!)
Plot Details: Uh, yeah... I'm still working that out.

Is this the last novel? Will the series continue beyond book three?
I hadn't really thought that far ahead...

As updates go, this ranks about a 8.8 on the lameness scale.
I admit, I'm not exactly a font of information... but at least the third Bane novel is finally official. I have signed contracts and everything.

So, a sincere THANK YOU to all the fans clamoring for more Bane. Because of you, the Dark Lord still lives...
(If I used emoticons, I'd have all sorts of smiling huggy-hearts and stuff here. But that's not really my style.)

And for those of you who are waiting for the paperback edition of Rule of Two, it comes out on October 28th.

Embrace the dark side!
