hello everyone! First of all, apologies for this not-a-chapter announcement, but RR doesn’t have a better mechanism to contact everyone who might be interested in this news: Epilogue has been picked up by a publisher!

To head off some questions:
Will this version be taken down?
No! This novel is not entering the Kindle Unlimited platform, so the original version on RoyalRoad isn’t going anywhere. That said, the published version is a significant improvement, so I highly recommend it :)
Sequel/prequel/etc?
No plans, but never say never.
Your other works?
Snipe has been picked up by the same publisher! Expect it soon with the same great production quality :) For my other writing, I’ve unfortunately been very preoccupied with life (covid, my house burned down, had surgery, couple other nightmares). Hopefully news on those soon.
