Sue Rostoni has been quite active on the SW.com boards over the past few days providing schedule updates as well as some new info on upcoming books.

Let's start by taking a look down the road to 2012:


"There's an assigned book in March of 2012, a hardcover, that I can't release the author name yet.

There's another hardcover in November 2012 by Michael Reaves and Maya Bohnoff, the last Coruscant Nights book with the working title: JEDI DAWN.

Then we've put Imperial Commando #2 in February 2012 and we have an author that hasn't signed yet -- so I can't release that author until the contract is signed.

And then I'm hoping that the anthology of Lost Tribe of the Sith stores will come out as a paperback in 2012, but this is not certain yet."


Now we'll move back in time to the 2011 schedule update:


"Okay -- here's what I have for 2011, WITHOUT the video-game tie-ins.... with no promises that it's all correct! But it is the best estimation at the moment.

February 2011: Joe Schreiber's hardcover horror novel, BLACK ORCHID

February 2011: John Jackson Miller's paperback KNIGHT ERRANT

March 2011: Michael Reaves and Maya Bohnoff's HOLOSTAR

April 2011: Aaron Allston's FotJ: CONVICTION

June 2011: Alex Irvine's Hardcover, no title yet.

July 2011: Paul Kemp's paperback sequel to CROSSCURRENT

August 2011: Christie Golden's FotJ: Untitled.

September 2011: Tim Zahn's CHOICES

October 2011: Jeff Grubb's untitled paperback.

November 2011 -- Untitled, unauthored Hardcover.

December 2011: Troy Denning's FotJ Untitled Hardcover."


Per Sue, in response to some follow up questions:
-"Choices" is the working title for Tim Zahn's upcoming novel
-Imperial Commando 2 will be a paperback and most likely the last of the series
