While many of you have read the opening of my latest story "Rise", judging from the feedback I've gotten from it, you are all very interested in seeing where it might lead.
Well my friends... I am currently working on putting the polish on chapter 3 of the story, and no matter which way I outline the rest of it, I simply can NOT find a way to end the story of Bishop the Unbending.
This story was originally supposed to be a one off departure from my normal types of stories. Well, from some of the conversations I've had with some of my readers, I've finally come to a conclusion. Since I CAN'T see a way to end the story properly, I simply WON'T.
There are simply too many things that can be done with the setting I am creating for this story. And to ignore them after I finish with "Rise" would be a grave injustice to the characters I am creating, as well as to you.
I have decided to begin outlining other stories involving Bishop, and the cast of characters that will be given life through "Rise" and create a universe specifically for them called "The World After"
Now this isn't to say I will be writing stories strictly for that universe. My mind won't allow me to stagnate like that, and ideas don't leave me alone until I've actually tried to put them to paper. So I WILL be writing other stories, in my normal style as well. But I AM going to make "The World After" a continuing theme. I'm not sure how well these stories will be received, but I am very excited about them.
Until then my friends.

Well tomorrow is the day I said I would make the call as to which story I would concentrate on writing. Fortunately, the results thus far have been decidedly one sided, and unless I receive an absolute deluge of email in the next 12 hours, I think the decision has been made.
It seems a lot of you out there want to see what I can do when I take a departure from my normal story format. So in appreciation of the readers who took the time to tell me what they wanted to see, I will be posting the opening of my story, tentatively titled "Rise" tonight. Bare in mind that this is just a snippet, and the story still has a distance to cover before it's finished. But it should at the least give you a feel for the type of story I'm trying to bring to life.
Thank you to everyone who have sent me all of the wonderful words of encouragement. You honestly have no idea of how much they have helped.

I currently have two stories I am very fond of in the works. The problem is, I only have so much time in a week to actually work on my writing. So I am putting the question to the readers.
My first story is actually a complete departure from my first three stories. Set in a post apocalyptic world where our hero rescues a young girl, who he later trains, and eventually falls in love with.
The second is more in line with my stories "Hated" and "Unbroken". Where the protagonist is shaped by his childhood, and eventually finds, rescues, and falls in love with, a girl he never would have expected.
The question I have is; Which of these two stories do you want to read first? I can only really devote the attention they (and you, my readers) deserve to one of these stories at a time. So which would you rather read first. Comment on this entry and I'll make the decision based your feedback on Monday the 17th.
Until then my friends.
Wrath's Child.
To everyone who have enjoyed my works thus far; a sincere, and heart felt thank you! Simply knowing I can touch someone with my work has made these last few days much easier to deal with.
