New books:
Since my last update, I’ve published two new books in my Dragon Gate epic fantasy series: Art of the Hunt and Broken by Magic.
Some readers have asked how many there will be in the series. I’m not sure yet, but I’m thinking five or six. I’ll have a better idea after I write Book 4 this fall. There’s a lot left for my heroes to do, and we’ve just finally gotten some dragon action (aside from the icky bad-guy dragons). But I also don’t think this one will go to 8 or 9 books. They’re big adventures. 🙂
I appreciate all of you willing to start reading a series before it’s finished. Sales (or lack of sales) of the early books will sometimes factor into how long a series goes, at least for me. The Death Before Dragons series was originally going to be five or six books. It ended up at nine, and now I’m thinking of writing one more for fun. And a spin-off series, hah!
Audiobook update:
The audiobooks for Dragon Gate 2 and 3 are coming. Book 2 just needs to be proofed, so look for that one in September.
There will also be a new audiobook bundle up on Audible soon of the first three Emperor’s Edge books (re-recorded with Vivienne Leheny narrating). You’ll be able to get that for one credit there. If you already have and prefer the renditions by Starla Huchton, there’s no need to replace them. It just always bothered me to have the series split across two narrators.
Summer Project:
In other news, I needed something lighter to work on this summer while I had family visiting and four dogs in the house, so I started a trilogy of contemporary fantasy novels with witches and werewolves. They’re unrelated to anything else I’ve written, but if you enjoyed Death Before Dragons, they should be up your ally. The first two (Mind Over Magic and Spell Hound) will be coming in September. I’ll get the pre-orders up in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you’re having a good summer!
Excellent and timely news! I was just here to check on the audio book for Dragon Gate 2. Love your work!
It’s coming soon. 🙂
Lindsay, I am a big fan of yours and was excited to read these books. What happened..there is so much of the stories left out from book to book. No explaination of them taking the portal. How did the king U. Get it back? Where did the brown dragon come from? Why is there a battle agreed to be done without magic? It’s like there are whole books missing between book 1&2, again between 2&3..
The writing is good, but the stories just leave you hanging. A one sentence explaination is not enough.

Hello Ms. Lindsay Buroker, I printed a list of books available on Audible and enjoyed listening to those available on Audible I continue to search weekly for new and old books to listen to. You are my favorite author and know there are some great books I missing on Audible.
(P.S. I have learning disabilities that I affect my reading but have higher than average comprehension…so Audible is my ticket to your books.
I look forward to hearing the mysteries of your mind. Lol
I’m glad you’re enjoying my books on Audible, Donna! Dragon Gate Books 2 and 3 will be available in that format soon. 🙂
I adore your books and I’m happy with them exactly as they are! To me, nothing seems “left out” and the endings are perfect; they just leave me looking forward to the next book! Thank you for the hours of entertainment you have provided!
Is Dragon Gate 3 on audible soon? I may have listened to 1 & 2 twice. 🙂 Shaping up to be my favorite series.
I Love Your Dragon Gate series. I have pre-ordered the next book. I have read the series before this and it was okay. But this one keeps me up at night waiting to see what happens next.
Thanks, Megan. I’m glad you’re enjoying the Dragon Gate books!
