But bad news in that the follow-on books &#8230; PENDRAGON&#8217;S BLOOD, and MORGANA&#8217;S HOUR &#8230; will not be coming out in rapid succession like they did for THE MERLIN SPIRAL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This will require some patience on my fans part.<\/strong>  Know that I am completely committed to finishing the series, and will do so as fast as humanly possible.  But I do have commitments beyond that of writing and that of my day job, and these are quite outside of my control right now, and nothing can be done about that.
