Hi!

Ack! I’m not done with book 10 yet. I’m finishing up the last few chapters, though. That only gives me a week to revise it again before Travis needs it. I’m cutting it close.

Book 10 looks to be between 65 and 70 chapters and around 125k words. This makes it about 20% shorter than the last few books. That 20% got pushed into book 11 for two reasons. It would have muddled the ending of book 10 and I wouldn’t have made my deadline with Travis.

My plan is to get book 10 to Travis on time, and then immediately pivot to the Ash story for a few weeks while I flesh out the story beats for book 11. I hope to hit the Ash story hard and start releasing chapters on Royal Road toward the end of July. Patrons of course will get the chapters earlier.

I reached out to the map lady again. I can’t believe this situation. The map is like 90% done but I’ve gotten ghosted for months. I might need to start all over. Ugh.

I opened up book 10 chapters 32, 33, and 34 for Root.

I opened up book 10 chapters 35, 36, and 37 for Harvester.

I added book 10 chapters 38, 39, 40, and 41 for Step Master, Blapy’s Favorite, Divine, and Axiom.

Enjoy!

Thank you for supporting this story. I appreciate you so much.

Take care,
