Eastern Wind Wolf

Uuuh... where are the stories? Did I miss something?

(1) – Due to Wattpad’s character limit, this is a three part post – (1)
          
          Hey everyone, long time no talk,
          
          I wanted to give a bit of an update on myself and the future of The Felician Chronicles. As some of you already know, my life has recently taken off in a direction that I couldn’t have predicted, and time has become somewhat of a luxury. The thing is, though, I don’t really see that changing any time soon. I’ve moved into what I see as the next step in my life, and I’ve found that my priorities have evolved and changed from what they were only a year ago. But before I get into that, I want to go back a bit and talk to you all about Skywolf, about a few things that many of you may not have known to maybe help you understand where exactly I’m coming from.
          
          Here's the thing, I don’t really do hobbies… I do obsessions. When I find a passion, be it guitar, photography, cars, college, writing… I jump in 110%, whether or not it’s the best decision for my physical or mental health. I’ve always been obsessive, and while I believe that’s helped me get to where I am today, it’s also taken its toll. When I started writing Skywolf, I was a fulltime engineering student, and I was putting in around 6-8 hours a day, 6-7 days a week, into Skywolf on top of that. I was also going to weekly physical therapy sessions for some injuries I got in a pretty gnarly car accident. It was exhausting, and I still carry a lot of the repercussions of that, but to be honest with you all, I still loved every minute of it.

(2) – Read part 1 first – (2)
          
          Waking up in the morning after posting a chapter to excitedly read every comment, (and I do truly mean every, single, comment) and watching this story grow, was truly one of the most amazing times in my life. Publishing a book was a goal that I had always wanted to achieve, and I couldn’t have done it without all of you. Your support is really the only thing that kept me going every time I thought I had reached my limit.
          
          Now on to Book 2 and 3. Like I said, my priorities have changed. There are a lot of things in my life that I find important, things that I want to dedicate time to each day and week, and unfortunately, I just don’t have the time for everything. I have to make choices about where I focus myself and my life. What I did for Skywolf wasn’t sustainable, I knew that at the time, and I honestly don’t think I could do it again. It took nearly everything from me, and I had to make some extreme sacrifices that I don’t think I could make again. Sacrifices of time and, well, priority. While I’m extremely proud that I completed Skywolf, I also find a certain level of regret in the fact that I completed it in seclusion. I’ve never shared it with my family or friends, and while I believe that reclusiveness has helped my focus, it has also been difficult to work so hard for nearly a year to create something that I don’t plan to share with those who mean the most to me. So, I guess this leads to the point of all of this, and that’s that I’m taking a step back from The Felician Chronicles, and I don’t know if I’ll return.

Small update!
          
          I added the Skywolf OST to chapter III: win it back or die trying, so if you want to see how that looks, give it a read through! It's pretty cool that Wattpad allows you to do that!

Hello everyone, I’ve got some exciting news!
          
          The second installment of The Felician Chronicles, Broken Wolf, will launch tomorrow! I’m so excited to continue the story with all of you!
          
          In preparation for the release, I have something very exciting to share with all of you. Over the past few months, I’ve had a ton of support from various readers and followers, one of whom went out of his way to create an OST theme for Broken Wolf! The link is below, and I highly suggest that you go ahead and give it a listen, as it really encapsulates the feel of the story! Man in a Trenchcoat is extremely talented, so please give him some support and subscribe to his page, as I doubt this will be the last music you see for the series. There’s already another song on his page, Reflections, which he created to go along with the scene where Ryder first arrives on the Felician station and stares out the window at Earth. I’m incredible grateful for everything he’s created so far and how he’s truly helping the story and world I’m creating feel alive!

          Finally, I started a Buy me a Coffee page in preparation for the expenses involved in the publication of Book 2! Any and all proceeds will go directly towards commissioning the final cover for Broken Wolf, and if there is any extra, it will go towards various projects such as soundtracks or chapter art. If you feel like donating, it would mean the world to me, but there are no obligations, and the book will still be available here on Wattpad!

          I can’t wait to continue on with this story with all of you! Thank you all so much for sticking around and helping support the project!
          
          Best!

@Eastern_Wind_Wolf I love your story mate. This has become one of my new favourite stories on Wattpad.
          Now that book 1 has been published, are their any plans on doing an audiobook version as well?

Hello everyone, I have a huge announcement! Skywolf is officially published! After 9 arduous months and hundreds upon hundreds of hours of editing and formatting, it’s finally done! I’ve been trying to get it out to you all for so long, and it’s finally done! Of course, there is no obligation to buy the book, but if you do want to or want to show support for my work, you can get it as a kindle/pdf, paperback, and hardcover over on Amazon!

          I’ve wanted to publish a novel for as long as I can remember, and I’ve worked really hard to keep the price as low as possible while still being able to recoup some of the costs associated with the whole process. Also, if you do end up buying a copy, I’d love to know what you think! A review would mean the world to me!
          
          I also recently discovered that Skywolf is on Goodreads!

          I have no idea how it got on there, but I’m assuming it has something to do with publishing through Amazon, but if you would like to leave a review there too, that’d be amazing!
          
          Sorry this took so long, and I promise I have been working on book 2. I honestly had no idea just how much work went into fully publishing a book for print. Even just formatting Word to work on 6x9 paper with mirrored bleeds took so long to figure out!
          
          This is the last phase for Skywolf. I know I spent a lot of time working on it (definitely more than my sanity could take at some times), but I really wanted to do it right and publish my first book fully and properly. I hope you all enjoyed it and that I was able to provide something good and enjoyable for you all. Your continued support and comments mean the world to me, so thank you so much!
          More updates to come soon!
          
          Best,

Hey everyone, sorry for the prolonged silence; life has been super busy, but I promise things are in the works! I should have a pretty exciting announcement sometime next week, so keep an eye out for that! Hope you're all doing well!
          
          Best,

After a reread, I can safely say I’m really anticipating book 2 to be amazing! Keep up the great work!

Hey everyone, sorry for the spam! Skywolf was unlisted for a short time while it was being shown to a publisher. I did not intend for it to send updates to everyone when I republished it, though, so sorry about that! Hope you're all doing great!
          
          Best!
