Editing King Arthur (Again): Notes From the Once and Future Hearts Trenches

Editing a thirteen-book Arthurian saga isn’t for the faint of heart. Mark pulls back the curtain on his years in the trenches with Once and Future Hearts—from navigating character continuity and protecting authorial voice to the diplomatic art of asking, “Are you sure, Tracy?” as the finale, Camlann, heads into its early-release Kickstarter celebration.

A Little Marital Bragging (Okay, Maybe a Lot)

Mark takes a moment to brag — loudly and unapologetically — about Tracy’s incredible achievement: completing the thirteen-book Once and Future Hearts series and preparing its exclusive hardcover Kickstarter. From behind-the-scenes glimpses to outright spousal pride, this post celebrates the epic scope of the project and why the upcoming campaign is such a milestone.

The Big Kickoff

After thirteen books, too many late nights, and a kingdom’s worth of research, the Once and Future Hearts series is finally drawing to a close — and we’re going out with a bang. For the first time ever, we’re releasing a 13-book hardcover collector’s set, exclusive to Kickstarter. If you’ve loved this saga — or are just discovering it — this is your chance to own the entire series in a beautiful, keepsake edition… and get the final book, Camlann, six months ahead of the public release.

Celtic Women in Command? DNA Says They Called the Shots

Recent DNA studies out of Iron Age Britain show that some Celtic tribes may have been far more woman-centered than we thought. With women staying put and men marrying into their communities, this evidence of matrilocality opens new doors for romance fiction, historical reimaginings—and your favorite Celtic heroines.

Juggling Chainsaws (and Books)

Mark’s desk is overflowing with thrillers, Jacobine adventures, anthology deadlines, and even a dash of erotica. Add in a Kickstarter campaign, real-world book selling, and you’ve got the “good kind of busy.” Coffee recommended.
