From Janet’s Website:

I know. I know. It’s been a very long wait for William and Maddy’s story, and you have all been so very patient. Thank you for that. But due to scheduling problems, Dragon Warrior’s release date has been pushed back a wee bit to January 25, 2011. (Yes, I know; that seems like forever, but I promise it will be worth the wait! I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun with two people. William is … well, William. And Maddy is just the woman to match him, in allways … if you catch my drift.

Then, come the end of June 2011, Mystical Warrior comes out. In book three of my Midnight Bay Series you’ll get to meet Trace Huntsman and Fiona Gregor (Matt and Kenzie’s 11th century sister, not baby Fiona from A Highlander Christmas). And you will also meet Maximilian Oceanus, a brand new magic-maker. Oh boy, are you going to love Mac; only instead of being a drùidh, the man is one big, scary, powerful wizard!
