Updated July 2007

 

July 14, 2007 – With Return of the Guardian-King released and the Legends of the Guardian King series brought to an end, I am now working on a new book. It’s a stand-alone, more like Arena than Guardian-King and right now I’m calling it Black Box.  Here’s my blurb:

When Lacey McHenry accepts a prestigious research fellowship at the world-renowned Kendell-Jakes Longevity Institute, she sees it as a new start on a life shattered by an abusive, now-ended marriage.  But when a disturbing late night encounter with a psychopathic intruder leads to an unexpected cover-up by Institute authorities, she soon finds herself in over her head, a lone mouse in an elaborate game of deception and seduction whose purpose she cannot begin to guess.

Set in bizarre world that is part of our own, yet separate from it, Black Box uses cults, cloning, ancient civilizations, aliens, and the nature of perception and deceit to explore the greatest mystery of all – human volition.

The first draft is due the end of January 08, so it should be out that same year sometime. I'm guessing summer.  For more, see my blog entries on the subject HERE.

April 5, 2007Return of the Guardian-King has released! First reviews and reader responses are starting to come in and so far readers are pleased. You can order it from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Christianbook.com or Bethany House.  And April 16 – 18 the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour will be featuring it. Drop by www.csffblogtours.com for reviews, commentary, interviews, giveaways and fun.  And you can always visit my blog at www.karenhancock.blogspot.com for up to the minute (day… week…) information.

February 11, 2007 -  I’ve turned in the revised galleys of Return of the Guardian-King, and they’ve gone to typesetting. The book is set to release on April 1, 2007 (or before... or after...) and the first review is already out at Infuze Magazine

July 8, 2006 – 2006 Christy Awards Banquet, Denver, Co, Shadow Over Kiriath received the Christy Award for excellence in Christian Fiction in the Visionary category. I had no words left for my acceptance speech after the push to finish RotGK, and so got up and babbled. Check my blog for more:  Christy Awards 2006, Christy Reflections  and Not Earned.

 July 7, 2006 – I completed the first draft of Return of the Guardian King and delivered it to my editor.

May 2006 – Inauguration of my first ever fan forum, very graciously set up for me by reader Riley T. to enable fans to gather together and share their thoughts and opinions about my books. I will be making occasional visits to chat with readers as well. Please take the time to pop on over to Kiriathan and King to say hello, offer your comments in response to one of the discussion questions or to others’ posts. Riley’s done a beautiful job on it.

April 2006 – Received the happy news that Shadow Over Kiriath is a finalist in the Visionary Category of the 2006 Christy Awards. Winners will be announced at the Christy Awards Banquet in Denver, on July 8, 2006. This is my fourth consecutive nomination!  Wheee!

March 2006 – The name of the fourth and final book in the Legends of the Guardian-King series has finally been decided and finalized (you may have seen it here listed as Light out of Shadow). It will henceforth be called Return of the Guardian-King. I’ve also turned in descriptive information for the artist’s use in designing the cover.

February 2006 – I started my weblog, a writing diary chronicling the process of writing the fourth and final book in the Guardian King series. You can access that here.
