November 26, 2022 - Update (Patreon)

Hi!

This week contained Thanksgiving in the US, which also happens to be my favorite holiday. We drove to spend it with family, which was wonderful. I can now categorically confirm, however, that leaving at four in the morning in an attempt to let everyone sleep (especially BAFK) while you drive, is a terrible idea. BAFK did very little sleeping, and I felt like a zombie for most of the drive.

We head back home in the morning, and I edited tonight’s chapters (and writing this update) sitting in a hotel room. The arrival and quick departure of Thanksgiving is a reminder to me of how little time remains in 2022.

I can barely keep my eyes open, but I wanted to briefly discuss something I was supposed to talk about last week: the title of book seven.

For months, I have tried to find a great title. We talked about some good ones, but nothing really resonated with me. I am 90% sure, however, that I found the one I’ll use.

The working title of book seven is now: Shadow’s Seventh Step

As always, I am interested in your feedback. Without having read the whole book yet, it will be impossible to judge completely, but I would like to know what you think of it in general. Thanks!

I opened up chapters 43, 44, and 45 to Root.

I opened up chapters 46, 47, and 48 to Harvester.

I added chapters 49, 50, and 51 to Step Master, Blapy’s Favorite, and Divine.

Enjoy!

I spent a lot of time thinking about you yesterday as I contemplated all the things I’m thankful for. I owe so much to your presence here and believe I’d still be working on book two if you weren’t here to keep me focused and accountable. Thank you for supporting the series. I appreciate you so much.

Take care,

AFK
