Origine, Tome 4 : The Fevered Winter

Résumé

While Jennifer has talked about this in several live events and as an announcement in her Reader group on Facebook, JLAnders, some have missed the latest update on The Fevered Winter. Ultimately, there is no current release date. There are many reasons for this. This does not mean the book has been abandoned, especially for other book series. It is just a book that remains in progress because the entire plot that began building as far back as the Lux series has to be rewritten. That is not an easy task considering the emotional difficulty that returning to that world entails, it just means it has to be taken at Jen's pace. What no one wants is for the series to cause Jen to lose her desire to write in that world or any world or to write a book that is rushed or not up to her standards. I am attaching what Jen posted in her Reader group several months back.

"Nothing has changed with the last book in the Origin Series. This lingering book has absolutely nothing to do with any other book. I have about 13-ish chapters written, and no amount of brainstorming has gotten me to the point where I can undo three books worth of plot threads in a way that remotely makes sense. I know for some, that may be hard to understand, as does my reluctance to dive into something that involves a pandemic, but with losing a family member to COVID, any time I sit down to write it, it gets my head in a not-so-great place. I've been writing and doing this for far too long to try to force something, no matter how popular or not a book or series is. I did that once before, and it took me two-plus years to dig myself out of that. You end up risking legit, long-term writer's block and really, really bad head spaces." - JLA.
