I hope that you and yours have a safe and happy new year. Let's hope 2022 brings us the relief we prayed for in 2021.
Some of you might have noticed I put a New Year present in your stocking (unless you or your significant other, like mine, decided to take down the stockings the day after Christmas, in which case the analogy just doesn't work) - I've started posting Tome 2 of 'Runesward'. I'm doing this against my better judgement and going back on a promise I've made to myself several times - not to begin posting a story until it was complete.
Tome 2 is NOT completely written. It is, however, in a good place and I feel that I have sufficient time in coming months to finish it off. For this reason, I feel that I am going to post it one chapter per week - at least for now. I may re-think this in the future but for now, you should receive a fresh chapter every Saturday.
I acknowledge this is slow - and I'm truly sorry. However, like all authors, you can read faster than I can write (a fact I constantly lament as I finished 'A Better Man, Book 2' by G. Younger - available for sale on his web-site - in a single day and now have to wait possibly several months for the next installment... we really need to come up with a device that can read an author's mind and just write the book directly from the author's head...). Plus, my process has me going back over my writing a month or so later to 'tidy up' what I've written so that it seems to make sense to me.
You'll notice that Chapter 30 was edited by Robberhands. He did initial editing on many of these early chapters but then, as Covid raged, I lost track of him. It's been two years or more since I've heard from him. I like to think that he's out, traveling the world, enjoying himself.
I hope you enjoy the second book of Yren's adventure.
