Just wanted to make a little announcement that an Author's Note has been added to Blood and Stone. It states that the book will be going through a major re-write after Of Stone and Spirit is completed. This is because OSAS is the prequel and will be the major lore of the Hybonéan realm set in...well, Stone. This will clear up a lot of confusion and plot holes in Blood and Stone. 
          
          The re-write has no official start date as life keeps kicking me in the balls. Once the prequel is finished, I will start the re-write that may include a new title as the two titles are very similar. Please keep all of this in mind as you read either story. I may also choose to keep the re-write off of Wattpad, I am not quite sure. The story will follow the same basic premise but details will change. The major points will not. Not every chapter will get an entire re-write either. 
          
          Have a happy day!

Progress on Earth and Bone will come to a halt. I am not sure if I am going to unpublish it right now or not. I am switching gears and working on the prequel to Blood and Stone because it sets up so much for Blood and Stone that I really need to write it. I keep finding places where I have switched what I said in Blood and Stone. There are whole chapters that are based on the prequel. So, the best I can do is switch up. I apologize for doing this backwards but I truly hope you enjoy learning how the Winged Council came to be and the true purpose behind the Líf-steinn. I am about to start writing chapter one. Im not sure when I will actually post it but keep your eyes open. 

I just wanted to touch base a little on the weirdness that has been my stories. You may have gotten a lot of notifications on updates to a story called Civil Unrest. That is because I have been writing on it and needed to change the order of some of the chapters. Wattpad was fighting me that day, so it wasn't working properly. I apologize for all of that. 
          
          I am also working on editing Blood and Stone, planning and writing its sequel, Earth and Bone, while planning the prequel to Blood and Stone. So, there are just a lot of things swirling in my mind, making it difficult for me to focus and produce much right now. I do promise to get things in line. I am considering using the month of October to finish a short horror story every year. I want to write a book of short horror stories based on real hauntings and then talk about the history of that place right after.  Just a lot going on. I apologize for all the notifications and confusion..

@DxrkR0mantix_ lol you wouldn't be the first. Everyone does that and decide not to approach 

@DxrkR0mantix_ may wanna check the owner of that soul...I lost mine years ago.

Editing seems to be more challenging than actually writing the book! I am making progress on editing Blood and Stone, though it is slow. However, I have begun planning the sequel!
          
          I am writing Chapter One as we speak. I have a few things that I would like to say about book two. First, there will be a lot more character-building and lore wrapped into this book. While the main focus will be Lyric and Rissa, we will dive into other characters including Spirit, War, Kol, and Cynric. Each will have their own set of challenges that will take them to places they longed to leave behind. Depending on how this goes, there is a potential for this series to be more than a trilogy. I am not saying that for certain. We will also be tugging harder at heartstrings and trying to bring out more emotion. 
          
          If you have any suggestions for anything you would like to see, please let me know. I am open to suggestions, no matter how wild. I did have one request to bring a certain character back and I, not wanting to reveal much, have found a way to do it. I am still very excited about this story and these characters. This has been an amazing experience for me. Watch out for the first chapter of Earth and Bone soon!!

Congrats!  Massive achievement.  I hope to finish reading it before the next one comes out.  :)  Are comments and suggestions still welcome as you edit?  Or will that confuse things?

After 56 chapters and an epilogue, I am proud to say that my one year and five months journey with Blood and Stone has come to an end! I have finally finished the first draft. This is the first story I have ever completed and I really couldn't be more excited or proud! Huge thank you to anyone who has supported me! 
          
          Don't worry, the journey is not over. Book two is being planned and will hopefully start sometime next year while I edit Blood and Stone.

Thank you for the vote!
