Wait, what? Halo? As in the video game Halo? Yep, it's true. I wrote a Halo novel called Halo: Battle Born, and it has just been officially announced! It's Halo's first ever young adult novel, and I was honored to be chosen to write it! All those hours playing video games in college have finally paid off. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. Here's the official summary: Saskia, Dorian, Evie, and Victor aren't exactly friends at their small high school on the middle-of-nowhere colony world of Meridian. Each has their own problems, from absent parents to supporting their family, getting into a good college to making the next hit holo-film. But those problems were nothing next to the threat now facing their world: The alien alliance known as the Covenant is laying siege to Meridian, for reasons that aren't so easily explained. Here's the cover, which is AWESOME by the way: I had a blast writing this book, and .I hope you have a blast reading it! It's scheduled to be released on January 1, 2019, and is currently available for preorder at the usual places: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and IndieBound.

Any word on if/when a Halo: Battle Born #3 will come out? My son, Alex, absolutely LOVES the series you have written so far! And with him only being in 3rd grade, I LOVE that you have kept the book exciting and yet still, even as a young adult series, totally appropriate for his little 3rd grade mind (I haven't had to worry about crazy explicit language or unnecessary sexual content). Great work! Keep it up! Alex is chomping at the bit for the next book (although he's not even done with Book 2 yet)

The publisher decided not to publish the third one (it was a huge disappointment to me as well!) I'm hoping if people let them know they want a sequel, they'll change their mind.

Does this mean you have a 3rd book written and everything and they won’t sell it? I wish I could read it. It kills me not finishing your story arc.

Is there any contact information for the publisher? I’m a fan of the story you were publishing and hate that it won’t be resolved. Could we contact the publisher and make a case to publish it? Or is there a way to publish the story through an alternative method? Although it probably wouldn’t be in the YA genre, Gallery books has been publishing some of the recent Halo novels and could publish Battle Born

I know this is an older thread, but I would personally love to read the 3rd book in the series, or at least know what was planned to happen. Have you heard any word back on whether or not the 3rd will be published or planned to be published? Like one person said below, I’m certain that Gallery books would be willing to publish the book/trilogy. Wishing you well

Wait, you have the third ready? Is there a way to view it in an unofficial manner, should they choose not to publish it?

I am wondering if Gallery Books would be willing to publish your third book. They published TONS of Halo books in the past and were the publishers that allowed a lot of the older books to get reissued last year in 2019.

The publisher is Scholastic AFK (https://kids.scholastic.com/kid/books/afk/). I'm sure there's a way to contact Scholastic and let them know!
