Before Book 5 gets to the last sentence, I have to comment because I am sure that some readers will totally pan where and how this book ends - a cliff hanger, of sorts.
I assure my readers that no animals or humans, either fictional or real, in the writing of my work or in the plot lines of my work. I believe in happy endings, although some characters may suffer some pain from misunderstanding a situation. There may even be some regression to 'Pre-Circle' mores and values.
Thank you for reading this, and continue to enjoy the story. Book 7 is alive and well and being worked on every day or so on my computer. When I get deep enough into it, it'll start to appear on SOL.
