Grey Wolf: Blog

Hello readers!

The final chapter of Book 3 (141) will post tomorrow. Book 3 is likely a bit too long. I'm still getting settled on what to leave in and what to leave out. I feel like there are improvements, but plenty of opportunities for further improvements.

Hopefully, some of those improvements will happen in Book 4. The beginning of the book is certainly not 'faster' in terms of chapters per day of time in the story, but that's because a lot is going on. We'll see how things go on an ongoing basis. My goal is for it to come in well short of Book 3, but that depends on just how much story there winds up being.

If you felt like Book 3 was (at least in places) rather quiet, my guess is that Book 4 will change that (not immediately, but quickly - it's not a long wait before something big happens, and then something else, and...).

Book 4 will begin posting immediately after Book 3, without a gap, on the same posting schedule.

As always, I welcome comments, thoughts, ideas, suggestions, corrections, or anything else. If you've got something to say, send me a note, please!

Thanks for reading! I hope you've enjoyed Book 3, and I think you'll enjoy Book 4 - perhaps (hopefully) even more. A lot of building blocks have been put into place in the first three books, and as the characters near graduation and legal adulthood, it's time to get a lot of things in motion that couldn't get there until now.

Plus, there's always the unknown - and there's a lot of unknown out there, even for someone who is (in theory) doing everything for the second time.

Thanks to a few readers, I'm reposting two chapters. There's one minor correction: Fricke v Lynch was in Rhode Island (I managed to have it in two different incorrect states), and Janet and Lizzie will be attending Stanford. That should have been mentioned earlier in the story (and it probably will be updated later), but the new changes resolve that in the just-posted Chapter 135.

Six more chapters (aka two weeks) to go for Book 3. Book 4 is still targeted to post immediately after Book 3, assuming it doesn't get stuck in editing. I'm optimistic that it won't.

Thanks to all of you for reading!

Today’s chapter ends on a minor cliffhanger. No one is in any peril, but confirmation of what exactly they’re up to will wait for the next chapter. I imagine some (possibly many) readers will correctly guess - it’s not intended to be a major puzzle.

In any case, have fun with it, and thanks for reading!

I wanted to make everyone aware that I made a tiny change in chapter 124 to adjust it to fit with the finals schedule in chapters 127-129. It's only significant in that 129 and 130 might look slightly 'off' compared to the original text in 124.

I dislike doing things like that, but found an issue in 130 that required updating the previous chapter.

Thanks for reading!
