So much for finishing Fragments by the end of the year... ugh.
          
          We're so close to the end now, but realistically it won't be done this year. It's the final stretch, but before it could end, the beginning needed to happen. I have added the NEW first chapter, HYPNOSIS which will reflect how the story ends.

THE VANISHING: ACT I is out now.
          
          This... is the beginning of the end!

Fragments will be complete by the end of the year.
          
          The final Fragment stories are coming soon:
          - THE VANISHING
          - THE OTHER SIDE (Part 1)
          - THE OTHER SIDE (Part 2)
          - 210
          
          And MISTY HOLLOWS is to be replaced by an entirely new opening.

SOMNIPHOBIA has had an added paragraph. Small, but important detail. New story coming soon!

I was going to wait until the new year but have decided to add the updated version of GHOSTS OF THE PAST. The most important changes are within the last few paragraphs of dialogue. Though, it may be unlikely anybody remembers what the dialogue was before, these changes make a huge difference going forward.

Fragments will be back in 2023.
          
          A few updates:
          
          There will be a new opening to the novel, meaning chapter 1 will be changed entirely. It subtly introduces the most important element that connects the stories. I had always planned to write it as we got closer to the end of the novel.
          
          MISTY HOLLOWS is being removed, though will be found in a separate book.
          
          GHOSTS OF THE PAST will have a new ending.
          
          There are 4/5 more chapters to add to the novel before it’s conclusion.
          
          Danny Black has already secretly appeared in more chapters than you realise…
          
          More news to come soon.

As the only story that didn't have a 210 reference, I have now updated SHATTERED WHISPER to include one. I tried to make it a hard one.

With the release of the next chapter: GHOSTS OF THE PAST, I have written in a different format than usual to fit in with the one-sided story. I've already tried different techniques and styles in each story to make them feel different. We change from first-person to third frequently, and some stories are told as if they are text from a diary. As this new chapter is a one-sided phone call, I used that as an excuse to create a more script-like format.

I have updated the beginning of THE HIDDEN ROOM from the FRAGMENTS story to add detail to the deceased mother's backstory. This detail will play an important role at the end of the book.

Each act in the Ophidiophobia story now has individual titles.
          ACT I — Ingestion;  ACT II — Digestion;  ACT III — Absorption.
