On Monday January 2nd, I will be starting the snippets of Caine’s Mutiny by Charles E. Gannon.
Since this is a February release and we’re getting started on snippets very late, we’ll be starting with Chapter 19 of the book.
Please visit http://www.baen.com/caine-s-mutiny.html and click on Sample Chapters to see the first eighteen Chapters.
Will there be another book in the Caine series?
After this one?
I believe so.
Especially if this one sells well. That’s the rule.
Well, there’s another rule in play here: when you sell multiple volumes in a series. Also, prior sales.
So, here’s the double report:
This book #4 was contracted along with #5. So at least #5. And Toni and I have already spoken of others.
As far as sales, every book in these series has earned out (paid out against royalties) in the first reporting statement (the first 6 months of sales). The last one, Raising Caine, paid out about 165 % of advance. And each book, so far, has paid out at a higher level. Fire With Fire, the first in the series, is now at nearing 500 % of advance. So, with any luck, there will be lots more to come.
Short answer: you bet.
Long answer: look at my reply to the last post in this thread.
Cheers!
Chuck
