Where did Fall go? We had more snow this week here in the Rocky Mountains and once again I find myself asking why Fall seems to be the shortest season by about two and a half months. I’m not ready for winter and it only reminds me that the year is almost over.
Last week’s chapters didn’t get a second pass before releasing and they went out with some decisions I plan on changing. I won’t get into specifics here as many readers aren’t following along on Patreon, but the short version is Ruwen won’t use spells in those chapters.
I also realized I had isolated him again, even if briefly, which is something I wanted to avoid after the heaping dose we got of that in the last book. A scene I really like came out of it though, and so I shortened the duration considerably instead of throwing it out. We will see if it survives in the final revision, but I find a lot of joy in the ways Ruwen, as strong and OP as he is, still has vulnerabilities.
A friend recommended a book to me because he thought I’d enjoy the dialogue. He was right, and I read Tattered Pawns by C. D. Corrigan in under three days, which is fast for me. A superbly crafted and well written fantasy book. I highly recommend it.
The Grey Warden finally released on audio, and I hope it finds an audience that loves it.
A lot of distractions this week related to a future move, but I managed to get a decent amount of writing done. Some of it I really love, too. But that is best left for next week’s update.
I am still way behind in responding to comments. I will do everything in my power to get that rectified this weekend.
I am also behind on sending out signed copies. I will address that this coming week as well. For those of you who have already gotten all the Divine Apostasy books, I ordered a big shipment of The Grey Warden, and will send those out as well.
I opened up chapters 34, 35, and 36 to Root.
I opened up chapters 37, 38, and 39 to Harvester.
I added chapters 40, 41, and 42 to Step Master, Blapy’s Favorite, and Divine.
Enjoy!
I appreciate you being here and supporting this series. It means so much to me. Thank you.
Take care,
AFK

That's because you're in the mountains. If you just live by the mountains you get less snow.
