Merry was due out Dec 2012 on this contract, and the cancelation of said book was annouced on the KtD tour. LKH has not said when the next Merry will come out, but every time somebody suggests to her that the Merry Series is 'Canceled' she snaps out that it's NOT canceled.

No idea if a Merry Book is specifially stated to be produced in this contract...if so she has one book left and it might have to BE Merry. If it's for either series...safe bet is Anita.
