I’m glad you enjoyed Ships of My Fathers. The sequel, Debts of My Fathers, is in edits right now. I’m targeting the end of the year for release. The overall series should have five books and will likely wrap up sometime in 2015. In the meantime, another book of mine, Beneath the Sky, is in the same universe as Ships of My Fathers.
Alas yes, the sequel has slipped. I’m want to get closer before I announce a new date, but it will be sometime in the spring, hopefully not as late as May. I am about to hand it off to my beta readers, and then it’s a few fixes after that, polishing, and then the copy editor and formatting… it adds up.
Dan – I ran across your website based on the FTL series you wrote. Grabbed both books and devoured them. Excellent books, I look forward to more. Any idea when Debts of my Fathers will be released?
I am in the middle of Ships of the Fathers and am enjoying it greatly. I started looking for the next in the series but couldn’t find it out there yet. Is the next book going to be released? I will sign up for the newsletter in hop of an update. Thank you for the story.
Saw your post about your book on John Scalzi’s site. Bought it. Finished it this morning. Liked it very much
Hey Dan – Nathan at nathanlowell.com suggested your book – I really enjoyed it – please keep up the stellar work.
pun sort of intended!
I too read Nathan’s recommendation and picked up your book. Great stuff. Looking forward to more Father Chessman tales.
Picked up book based on recommendation on NathanLowell.com. Was pleased. What are your plans for more Father Chessman books in the saga?

Still targeting end of the year for the first sequel, or has this needed to slip?
Alas yes, the sequel has slipped. I’m want to get closer before I announce a new date, but it will be sometime in the spring, hopefully not as late as May.

There needs to be an RSS feed So we can keep up with news about your writing progress.
Saw “Ships” on the “creativity hacker” site (http://creativityhacker.ca/2013/07/01/ships-of-my-fathers-by-dan-thompson/). Good stuff, looking forward to sequel.

Dan is there any news on the Next Father Chessman book? Last I heard it was at the editor in March.
Any progress or news on the third Father Chessman?
