Carousel Seas (Archers Beach). . . . . . August 15, 2013
First of Five (Liaden). . . . . . May 15, 2014
Second of Five (Liaden). . . . . . February 15, 2015
Third of Five (Liaden). . . . . . November 15, 2015
Fourth of Five (Liaden). . . . . . August 15, 2016
Fifth of Five (Liaden). . . . . . May 15, 2017

For clarity, a small review of terms:

Delivery date means the date on which a particular manuscript is due to arrive on the editor's desk.

Publication date is the date on which a book is scheduled to be published.

These two things are not the same.  Publishers (wisely) tend not to set publication dates in stone until the manuscript has been delivered.  A good rule of thumb is to figure that a particular title will be published nine months to a year after delivery.

Hi, hoping that while madly trying to meet all your writing deadlines (and making your innumerable supporters very happy) you have stocked up for the upcoming storms. Take care. Kathy

It looks like the storm is going to make landfall significantly downcast. We're looking at a few days that will be warmer than usual for us (that tropical hurricane air), and rain. Not so much different than New England in the fall... We did go in to town last week to do Winter Stock Up, so we've supplies on hand.
