Right now, we're trying to, please excuse the phrase, regain our balance. Our rhythm and plans were royally thrown off by the Meisha Merlin mess, and our budget was destroyed. And so a lot of what we're doing behind the scenes (and in front of the scenes, like the eBay sales and such) is getting the finances even and keeping up with the new hi-speed writing we're doing.
Once we've got the first of the Duainfey books submitted and the second well in hand, and Fledgling on the down side (is going much longer in the middle than expected, in part because Theo is being so interesting to work with) ... say sometime around the first of the year, we may be able to take a careful look at what's we're doing there.
We have multiple projects that were thrown off kilter: I'm still looking for a cartoonist willing/interested in working with some of our story lines, still looking for a new office in town, still waiting for the really overextended Rolanni to be able to get to the next Jen Pierce book.
So yes, there is a chance that the Balance follow-on could go that way. Or some brave publisher might come along and make a compelling offer... but we're not making that decision now, not when so many other things have got to get caught up.
