Chloe Gong is experiencing a prolific period in her career, with multiple book projects in various stages of development. She recently concluded the "Flesh & False Gods" trilogy with the August 4 release of "Eyes of Kings."

Gong is currently focused on completing the final book in "The StrangeLoom" trilogy, with "Deadlock," the sequel to "Coldwire," slated for a November 17 release. This installment is expected to be explosive, tying up the series' narrative.

Additionally, Gong is revising a top-secret contemporary novel, her first foray into this genre. She teases this upcoming book as a blend of romance, akin to Emily Henry's style, and the zombie apocalypse, a project she is eager to discuss further.
