Project Update: Update #7 - Delay (In short, the book is longer than I planned)
Hello everyone - I have bad news to share.
I hate to let every one down but I have.
I'm sorry to say that the release date for Dark Fang (Book 3) must be pushed back. Release will still be in 2026, but it won't be this May, as I'd originally estimated.
I thought I could juggle everything going on for me this year (my PhD studies and health stuff among other things) and still meet what I originally thought was a generous deadline that I'd set for myself... but the book is turning out to be longer than I planned. I thought the final instalment would be short and snappy, an exciting rush to the big climax I have planned for the series.
Instead, I think there could well be more to tell, and so I'm charging on.
When Dark Fang gets to editing stage, maybe my editor and I will make cuts and changes, but I can't tell for now. I want to give you more story, to be honest, and I like these characters, I want them to have fuller resolutions and so I'm expanding the book.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
I will still obviously keep everyone updated here with monthly posts.
On that next update I should have a better idea of a new release window. I say 'window' as I don't want to get it wrong again, by putting a super-specific date out there that I may miss.
However, when the book is ready for beta-reading, I'd like to offer that option to you as Backers, in case you'd like to get in early.
More on that next update!
