To everyone who has been so patiently waiting for the fourth book in the Imperials Saga — the wait is finally over. Currency of War went live today. I completed this book so many years ago, and it’s really sort of overwhelming to finally have it in the hands of readers. There is still one more volume that will complete Tracy and Mercedes’ story, but I’m certainly not done writing in the universe. I created a big canvas and I want to keep playing there so I’ll keep everyone up to date on what we’re planning.
This wouldn’t have been possible without the efforts of my beloved agent, Kay McCauley who fought to get the rights returned to me so I could finish this story. Also, my fervent thanks to the team at Prince of Cat’s Literary Productions. They did such a beautiful and respectful job on the editing, and preparing the book for publication. And finally I am so grateful to the extraordinary talents of Elizabeth Leggett who captured my two star-crossed lovers so brilliantly and beautifully.
If you are so inclined you can find the book here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YFL4V38/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FUCAXZO1SM6M&dchild=1&keywords=melinda+snodgrass+the+currency+of+war&qid=1615324930&sprefix=Currency+of+War+Melinda+M%2Caps%2C351&sr=8-1
It may be delayed a few days at B&N, but will be available on all platforms and if you prefer an actual book to hold in your hand print-on-demand is available.
holy shit my family is spared. Congratulations the wait is finally over
, for you and for us.
It’s such a relief. I completed that novel several years ago, and it’s been like a stone in my chest that it wasn’t available. I love my characters and I wanted to finish their story. Also book 5 is completed too, but we’re going to wait a bit to release that one.
Will you be adding the series to google play books as well? Also thanks for releasing the books can’t wait for the conclusion 🙂
You’re welcome. I desperately wanted to finish Tracy and Mercedes’ story and so happy I finally got to do so. Also, the covers by Elizabeth Leggett are just perfection. She totally captured my vision of the characters.
I’m not sure about Goggle Play. I’m new to all this but I will check with my book producer about it. Is Google play another platform for ebooks?
Thanks so much for reaching out.
I just finished book 4 and I am on pins and needles and already looking forward to the release of book 5.
Thank you, what a lovely message to find this morning. Book 5 is tentatively scheduled for April. Elizabeth is working on the cover and it’s being copyedited right now. I’m planning to write some novellas set during Tracy’s 14 years as a trader and black marketeer. Just haven’t gotten around to it yet.
I just had an interesting surprise. I called Page 1 books about when “Currency of War” would be available this morning. I was told that their supplier might not be carrying it. I would like to continue supporting Page 1 if possible. Any thoughts or information?
We’re trying to get it worked out, but since I have gone Indy press this is not as easy as it used to be. Since there have been changes to the first and second books we would prefer to have those available rather than the Titan editions and also have continuity of cover art. Beastly Books in Santa Fe which is also an indy bookstore will have the books available, and I need to check and make sure that they have ordered in copies of book four. Honestly, at the moment your best bet is print on demand from Amazon because it will likely be a couple of weeks before we have books available at Beastly Books.
Got it, read it, loved it!
What a lovely message to find this morning. Thank you so much.
Do you have an estimate on when # 5 will be released? It is killing me to have to wait to see how the “Oh Shit” plays out!! Thank you, this series and storyline are very easy to immerse in!!
Sorry this took awhile to respond. I was traveling and having the return trip from Hell. Book 5 will be out in the spring of 2022. Not sure of the month yet. Yeah, I sort of hated doing that cliffhanger thing. I try to keep my books where they can work as semi-stand alone books, but this one just begged for the “Oh shit moment.
And thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot to me.
