          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.

          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.

          I know this is probably not what many of you want to hear, and I’m sorry about that. To be honest with you, it’s really not something I want to hear either. I keep telling myself that I can handle it, that I’m making a mistake and that I can keep writing and living my life like I have been, but I know deep down that it wouldn’t be the right decision.
          
          Now, I don’t know if this is the end for The Felician Chronicles; I had so much more planned, and I still have this driving urge to continue with the story, but in case it is, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for helping me create Skywolf and for giving me some of the most memorable experiences of my life. It has truly meant the world to me.
          
          And now onto the last part. In the next few months, I’ll probably be removing Skywolf from Wattpad, Amazon, and any of my other accounts. My intent was never to make money off of it, just to get it to those who wanted it. I won’t delete them, of course, in case I do return to continue with the story someday, but I don’t want to leave them abandoned. I prefer to end something when it’s still good instead of leaving it to slowly be forgotten.
          
          I really do hope that one day I’ll be back, and who knows, maybe that’ll be soon… life can be crazy like that. For all I know, I might write a new chapter next week and post it, but I don’t want to keep you all waiting and thinking that something’s coming when there’s a good chance it’s not.
          
          I don’t know if this is goodbye or just a hiatus, but in case it’s the former, again, thank you. Without you, I never would’ve been able to do this, something I’m so incredibly proud of. Skywolf never could’ve been completed without your reads, comments and likes, and I truly hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I did. I’ll never forget it.
          
          Your friend,

Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update!
          
          Sorry for being so quiet after posting the first chapter of book 2. Life kind of took off right after, and the past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind! I am still working on the book, though, and I'm hoping to get back into a more "consistent" posting schedule as soon as possible! Thanks for sticking around!
          
          Hope everyone's doing great; I Can't wait to keep releasing Broken Wolf for you all!
          
          Best,

Hey everyone, great news!
          
          Skywolf has more music! If you're interested and want to listen to "Foreign Hearts" while reading the scene that it correlates to, go back and give chapter XVI ...the scars we share... another read through. The music was made by none other than Man in a Trenchcoat, and it goes along with the final scene of the story so well! It really helps bring the first chapter of the trilogy to a close properly, and I couldn't be happier with out it turned out!
          
          Hope you enjoy!
          
          Best,

Broken Wolf is live!
          
          I hope you all enjoy the first chapter! While I have the entirety of the outline completed, I am writing Broken Wolf as I upload it so that you don’t have to wait another six months to read it. This means that some minor aspects, such as numbers and names, are subject to change as the story continues to develop, though the major story components and plot lines will remain the same. If I make any significant alterations down the line, I’ll be sure to let you know which portions should be re-read for clarification.
          
          As always, thank you all so much for following along. It means the world!
          
          Best,

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! Sorry for being quiet for so long; I've been hard at work on the book 2 outline for the past couple of months, I promise you! I just wanted to let you all know that the outline is officially complete, and I've started actual work on the book! I'm hoping to get a chapter out to all of you in the next few weeks, and I’m really excited! I also have a few other fun tidbits to share here soon, so keep an eye out for those! Thank you all so much for sticking around and being patient! I can't wait to continue this journey with all of you; your incredible response to Skywolf and support alone is what has kept me working on this series and kept me writing, and it truly means the world to me!
          
          Also, a small announcement on the Amazon copy of Skywolf. The first batch that has been for sale since October has a "First Edition Print" page with a digital signature. I wanted to give something special for my long-time followers as well as the first group who purchased it and supported my work. I will, however, be removing this page once I start posting book 2, and it won’t be back. I’m not, by any means, trying to convince you to buy the novel, it will continue to be available here for the foreseeable future for free, as always. I just wanted to let you all know for anyone who is interested and would like to have a first edition print on their shelf.
          
          Again, thank you all so much! You’ll be hearing from me soon!
