Pinnacle Warrior chapter out tomorrow (just needs editing) + paperback giveaway and hopeful increases in AR output + SoK explanation (Patreon)

Ok. Most of this is in the title, but I'll give a little detail. I'm typing this out on my phone as I hold my sleeping son, so please bear with me for any lack of clarity.

I have a PW chapter written, just needs edits. Sorry for the extension of the cliffhanger, but I only need 1 hour to get it ready to be posted. I wish I could edit on my phone, but I'm incapable of keeping yself from getting distracted on the phone for long times. Curse the ADHD that gives me ideas to write in the first place.

Paperbacks. I finally got a couple copies for the paperback, and as before, I'll be doing a giveaway for one of them to anyone who's a current paying patron. All you have to do is respond to the poll, and next Sunday (meaning 9 days from now), I'll close the poll and choose the winner. This is done by random number generation and doesn't care about which of the two answers you gave.

Just a tidbit: If you bought the paperback or ebook or KU downloaded it or whatever, I'd super appreciate a rating on Amazon. Reviews are king, but I recognize that's effort and nobody likes to work when they don't have to. Ratings, tho, are super easy. I'll be putting book 2's preorders up soon, but there have been a couple issues on the cover art side, so there's that.Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVMRF3DR

Increase in AR output: I'm trying to get there, and I have a chapter mostly finished. It's shaping up to be a little longer than usual, but nothing crazy. I haven't been writing this because I've just been stretched thin, but I'm excited to finally begin the Misti Hawar war in truth, which is so close I can taste it. More explanation for this in the next bulletpoint.

SoK change: I've been super busy, and, ever since I started writing again last year at nights, I've promised that being an author would never come before being a good father or husband. It looks like SoK might end up on the cutting room floor accordingly to keep giving me the time I need to care for my family. My amazing publisher, MangoMedia, is currently paying for a different cover in the hopes that that helps things out, but there's no guarantee. For now, I'm going to finish this last book (which will be 5-10 chapters) and then I'll make the rest of the chapters free. I'll continue writing SoK a little, but only in my free time, which there's precious little of. That time that I currently spend bouncing to SoK will then be rolled into AR.

So, mostly good news, except for SoK stuff. Sorry, guys. Honestly, SoK's probably my favorite series I write, but if it doesn't sell, it's not worth the 20 hours of work a week it requires to be active.
