Meanwhile the third trilogy of the griffin series, which is titled The Southern Star, will be going to acquisitions sometime during this month. “Going to acquisitions” is a publishing term meaning “the editor will go to an acquisitions meeting and try to persuade the higher-ups to publish the next lot of books”. By September we should know whether The Southern Star will be published, so keep your fingers crossed!
