So...earlier stubbing than I was hoping, but that's the way it goes sometimes. I originally intended to keep this going on RR until it was all ready to go at once in a grand explosion of Kindle releases, but the timing worked out far better If I release now.

Will update this notice to include links to the Kindle version once it's been successfully uploaded, which should be anywhere between 12-70 hrs from now.

(Edit: Links in the Author's Note)

A big chunk of it is also up as audio on Soundbooth theater. Will drop the links in the comments. Forgot I couldn't put them in here. =P

Since I've got ya here, I'll lay out my *TENTATIVE* plans for 2024. I'm gonna try to close out ISM with one more book and bring it to a satisfying end. Giving people a satisfying end is my kryptonite, but I must RALLY!

Once that is done, however long it takes, I will re-read Wake of the Ravager and try to bring it to an end. Once THAT is done, I will re-read The Stitched worlds and try to bring THAT to a satisfying end. Once THAT is done...

I'll probably be in my late forties...

Yeah, it's not all gonna go down in 2024, that's for sure, but we can at least get the ball rolling.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

After all that is done, well, I'd like to write a new magic system. That's always been my passion. Heck, I made two of them for ISM. (Symbiotic Spirit/Ritual Magic) Something about it tickles my brain with all the possibilities.

We'll see how it goes the next couple years.

Wish us luck!
