Sorry to have taken a while to get back to you, but I've been extraordinarily busy with a variety of projects, including acquiring the rights to the Babylon 5 novels published by Dell, so we can look into getting them back into print. My plan is to begin with the two favorites--by Jeanne Cavelos and Kathryn Drennan--and see what kind of
response we get from the Babylon 5 fans.
We're in the process of reviewing the sales patterns for the first two techno-mage novels, to help us determine whether or not there's enough demand to call for further new novels. Now that two of the techno-mage books are out, we're beginning to get reasonable data that will help us plan for the future.
One of the books we are considering is the short story collection, and if it looks as if we can pick up the license to produce that collection, we'll be sure to spread the word to B5 fandom.
So there may, indeed, be more Babylon 5 books to come.
Best,
