Hello, everyone! I hope you’ve been well.
So, good news: The process of splitting up books 6 and 7 is complete!
Because I don’t want to spam everybody’s emails with the new, free version of the content (we’re talking 70 or so chapters between the two books), I’m going to point you to the first place where I’ve made the change, Scribble Hub. The publishing drafts of book 6 and 7 are fully there.
As a note, the new books are basically the Book 6 draft I posted here and elsewhere, but split in half, expanded, and refined.
Book 6 start: https://www.scribblehub.com/read/63553-confessions-of-the-magpie-wizard/chapter/795885/
Book 7 start: https://www.scribblehub.com/read/63553-confessions-of-the-magpie-wizard/chapter/939162/
Hiro and the Snow Maiden, a spinoff that stars Hiro Takehara and Yukiko Sato, will start dropping on Substack and the other free websites in the coming weeks.
Eventually these versions will be taken down when they shift to Amazon Unlimited, but you’ll have plenty of advance warning.
If you’d like to pick up a PDF copy in advance, and for less than I’ll be selling them for on Amazon, you can check out my Patreon store.
Work on Book 8 is continuing apace, and I plan to start posting that on Patreon in October, and then on here, Royal Road, and the other free platforms after I’m done posting Hiro and the Snow Maiden.
I’ll try not to go so long without another update. Thanks for your patience; I’ve been fighting some issues that I think I’m getting past, finally.
