Though the Course Books contain the only published work thus far, they are by no means the end, and several series already exist.

The Bridge to Destinations

Named in the Course Books lexicon, and is the last planned instalment done in the Course Books style, with everything that follows done in a novel format. The Bridge is meant to fill in whatever gaps are left in the storyline.

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 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. 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.
