So.

Between my plans to continue this series, and now. There was a year.

It was called 2020. It was a lot!

During that time, I spent a lot of time thinking about my plans for TD - and man a lot of my original ideas for the sequel were, uh, outright bad, like embarassingly, weirdly bad, the stuff you look back and go 'sheesh' - and I eventually settled into something I liked. Something that would address some of the problems with Thieves, and let me build on what worked.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Over time this expanded into a novel of its own. It's not a direct sequel per se, but it expands on the universe and builds the mythology, and will, eventually, connect to Caltern and the Thieves Dungeon. ( It also contains my usual quota of commas per page, twice the daily recommended dose. )

So if you liked my work, I'd invite you to follow OASIS CORE.

I know for some of you this won't be the announcement you wanted, and I'm genuinely sorry for that.
