MATURE FOR STRONG LANGUAGE, SOME VIOLENCE, AND SOME SEXUAL THEMES.
"The Starless City" is a book conjoined of many different stories. In other words, this book will follow many different characters and plot-lines. Each chapter is it's own story, but I am willing to do "Part Two's" of any parts that are already currently in this book, just tell me which part you'd like to see a "Part Two" of, and I'll get on it quickly!
Many (if not all) of the stories in this book will be "Murder Mysteries", and will be very short. I will try to make each part at least 1,000 words.
I will update this book every week, probably on a Saturday or Sunday. I will try to be consistent and tell you about any delay's that may occur.
Thank you for reading my book!
