“So, they’ll come back with more troops and a few of those battleships of state loaded with clan lordlings,” Megan said.
“Yep,” was Kris’s reply.
For a long moment, they thought on that, then Jack raised his glass of some kind of juice and said, “So, we gut the rebellion.”
“We gut the rebellion,” two Longknife women repeated, clanging their glasses to his.
“May they be truly grateful for what they are about to receive,” Megan added, before she emptied her glass.

2018 Releases
In 2016, I amicably ended my twenty-year publishing relationship with Ace, part of Penguin Random House.
In 2017, I began publishing through my own independent press, KL & MM Books. We produced six e-books and a short story collection. We also brought the books out in paperback and audio.
In 2018, I intend to keep the novels coming.
We began the year with Kris Longknife’s Successor. Grand Admiral Santiago still has problems. Granny Rita is on the rampage again, and the cats have gone on strike, refusing to send workers to support the human effort on Alwa. Solving that problem will be tough. The last thing Sandy needs is trouble with the murderess alien space raiders. So, of course, that is what she gets.
May 1 will see Kris Longknife: Commanding. Kris has won her first battle, but the way the Iteeche celebrate victory can be hard on the stomach. The rebellion won’t quit and now Kris needs to raise a fleet, not only to defend the Iteeche Imperial Capitol, but also take the war to the rebels.
In the second half of 2018, you can look forward to the following:
Vicky Peterwald Dominator on July 1
Rita Longknife: Landing Party on September 1
Kris Longknife Implacable on November 1.
