THE PRODIGAL MAGE by Karen Miller
- - August 10th, 2009
Karen Miller’s THE INNOCENT MAGE, which we published in 2007, has been one of the most successful fantasy debuts of recent years, and continues to feature prominently in the fantasy bestseller charts. THE INNOCENT MAGE was followed by a sequel, THE AWAKENED MAGE, and then the Godspeaker Trilogy (EMPRESS, THE RIVEN KINGDOM, and HAMMER OF GOD), as well as the first two books in the Rogue Agent series (THE ACCIDENTAL SORCERER and WITCHES, INC.) written under the pen name K.E. Mills. As well as Star Wars novel, WILD SPACE. She’s also written five books by Patrick Rothfuss and completed the Song of Ice and Fire. Okay, maybe not.
But we are definitely delighted, thrilled, and pleased as punch to be releasing this week Karen’s new book, THE PRODIGAL MAGE, in the US and UK. It marks a return to the world of THE INNOCENT MAGE – with some familiar characters and some new – and the start of a new 2-book story arc that will conclude with THE RELUCTANT MAGE. We’ve given Karen permission to take an afternoon off to celebrate her hardcover debut, on the strict understanding that she makes up the time later in the week.

Lol! Believe me, Karen’s ability to write rapidly without writing badly is the envy of a great many of us. She is totally dedicated, as I discovered when I shared a room with her at a sf convention – and she spent half the time at the desk trying to meet a deadline while I was downstairs enjoying myself…
Alas, I am not nearly so disciplined. I can say, though, that I beta read The Prodigal Mage and just LOVED it!

Glenda: I was at the same convention and don’t think your lack of industry wasn’t noted. Delighted that you enjoyed THE PRODIGAL MAGE as much as we did!

LOL! Glenda, that’s not dedication, that’s desperation allied to some poor forward planning! *g*

What a terrific read. Karen is a remarkable writer and I’m “Champing at the bit” to see what will happen in the end.
