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.

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.
