The epic cycle of the Course Books presently contains 5 planed volumes(with three of them already complete and available), there will probably be a second cycle written in the same vein(because it's just so darn much fun!), of which two volumes have already been named.
Contents
Course Books Second Cycle
These books will be named in the Course Books lexicon, and following the same system there will be 5. However, do not expect these anytime soon; the Course Books have been in progress since the late 90s, and they aren't even finished.
Unlike the original cycle, the second series will have no over-arking plot, but will rather fall into the same over-ark as the original series, with one exception: no part of it will take place following the Long Night, so it will only cover the timespan of the end of the Sixth Age and the Age of the Dragon.
However, there is no final chapter. The beauty of the course books style is that I can continue to write infinite instalments using the same characters in the same timeframe. The story never ends, unlike The Neverending Story, which crapped out after 3 movies.
The Bridge to Destination
Originally planned as a sort of after-thought to the Course Books, the bridge has been rethought as the opening volume to the new cycle.
The Rush to Revelation
Basically more of the same. Absolutely nothing is planned for this one so far beyond the name, cudos to Max Stanton for suggesting it.
The Pavimentum
This will be another book following the Course Books style, in that it is a collection of short stories. The key difference being that there is no over-arching plot and few repeating characters. The Pavimentum seeks to tell all the stories that form the foundation for the Course Books. As such, much of it takes place durring the Mage Wars and earlier. Thus far, it is notable for including the origin story of Amuro Tenken.
The Fossa
The Fossa is just more of the Pavimentum. Because that is a well that will never go dry, and there are enoguh references to the history that I could write stories there forever.
The Radus
The Radus is a collection of chronological short stories that take place directly after the final part of the Course Books. This is not a continuation of the story, however, and mainly focuses around Joshua Jusenkyou and Lily McConery. It is a kind of setup for the next series.
The Consecution
The Consecution is a working title for a series of novels that take place around 20 years after the chronological end of the Course Books.
Novels
A series of novels set in the Course Books timeline is also in the works, though extremly preliminary. The Lost Nation is among these. No others have been named as of yet.
