James Howlette: Blog

Hello all,

I am happy to say that writing book 4 of blood moon is progressing nicely. I do hope that it turns out the way I hoped, but my brain tends to try and go off the rails haha. The fact there is a book four is proof of that, but I think that this will be the final story for Davik. I may come back someday but for now Book 4 will be the last one of that series.

Given that It could be even bigger than book 3, I may change my personal rule of posting only completed stories, but I am confident that I will be able to finish this without risk of writers block. Thank you all for your words of support and catching things that miss my proofing. I try to make adjustments as soon as I see them and appreciate further assistance in this case.

I hope that you have an amazing end to your weekend and that you enjoy your final week of February.

Hello all,

I figured I would notify you here, since all of you happen onto my Patreon page via this site. Due to an instance of someone making a pledge, then leaving before the pay cycle, I have adjusted it to charge for joining, then the first of each month.

I started the page to introduce a second revenue stream and as I appreciate all who choose to follow me there and support me, I cannot allow that to be taken advantage of either.

I am sorry if that will cause some of you to choose not to become a patron and I understand fully, but I also cannot allow a perk of being a patron, be taken basically for free either.

I will be posting the same information on my Patreon and thank you all for your continued support.

Hello everyone.

I must say that the momentum building behind First steps has been mind boggling for me. It has pushed my readership to new heights and for that I thank you.

For one the weekly downloads have pushed up to nearly 6000 on average for the past two posts, pushing First Steps into the top 15 for a while.

The second is that we have already crossed 35,000 total downloads which is putting First Steps on pace to surpass A New Moon Rises.

Another shock was to find my followers has nearly reached 300 and that is amazing. Thank you all for choosing to follow my work and support me as I continue to grow as a writer.

I am working on blood moon book 4 Many Faces of the Moon and have found my groove. That said I don't think it will be completed buy the time First steps ends posting on here. I expect it to be roughly half way done at minimum but book four will be as big as 3 if not bigger. My goal is to finish off Davik's battle with the Voguel.

Once that I'd finished I plan to work on book 2 of Would You Like to Play Again - Beginner.

I would also like to thank everyone who have chosen to support me on Patreon. It means a lot and I can never thank you enough. Both the support here and on Patreon make me feel like a real writer and push me to try and be better for you all. I hope to justify your faith in me and the time you take out of your life to enjoy my work.

Again thank you all and I hope that we enjoy this amazing journey together.

Hey everyone, yet another milestone reached today as my story broke into the top 20 weekly downloads. It is a shock and an honor that you guys like my story that much.

Look forward to more as there will be more books coming for Pathios, the next will arrive after I post Blood Moon book 4. I hope that to be the last story of Davik's arc.

I may revisit that world some day but my focus will be on new stories to tell that are floating around in my head.

As always thank you for reading and always keep in mind I only post finished stories on the site, so writers block doesn't affect my posts. Posting twice a week gives me time to write and have another story done by the time posting ends.

Have an awesome week everyone.

I just want to thank everyone for their kind words and support. I have enjoyed reading the messages you have sent and appreciate the time you took to share your feeling on my work.

It has resulted in my story being in the top 25 downloads for this week. Currently sitting at 23rd place.to say I was shocked was an understatement. Both have served to spur me on to try and get as close to my old writing speed as I can.

I hope that you all will be patient as I will work diligently to continue writing for you who choose to read it.

Again thank you all
