The contract continues Thomas Nelson&#8217;s exclusive North American publishing relationship with the author.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve had the idea for the Bright Empire series for over ten years. In my mind, I&#8217;ve always thought of it as my &#8216;super-fantasy.&#8217; Now, in Allen Arnold, I have a publisher &#8230; along with an editorial and marketing team &#8230; who are every bit as enthusiastic about it as I am. <strong>After years of indulging my passion for historical fiction, I&#8217;m keen to get back to my first love&mdash;High Fantasy<\/strong>,&#8221; said Lawhead.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twenty years ago, Stephen Lawhead captured my imagination with his novels. Now it is my great privilege to be both his friend and the publisher of these epic tales,&#8221; said Allen Arnold, Vice President and Publisher, Thomas Nelson Fiction.<\/p>\n<p>The first book in the new series &#8230; <strong>The Skin Map<\/strong> &#8230; is planned to release September 2010, followed annually by <strong>The Bone House<\/strong>, <strong>The Spirit Well<\/strong>, <strong>The Shadow Lamp<\/strong>, and <strong>The Fatal Tree<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Lawhead currently has nine titles spanning three trilogies with Thomas Nelson.
