Hello wolf pack,
          I have some bad news. A lot of things have come to a head, and my home has been deemed a major mold issue. This has explained my stuffiness, varying dizziness, as well as lack of energy that has been going on for nearly a year.  To make things worse, my current property manager is doing little to nothing in terms of remedying the issue and... a lot of other things are now going on behind the scenes because of that.  For this reason, I'm working on moving out to a new place, filling my time with packing, school work, grades... all while managing health issues.
          
          As such, I'm going to need to take a bit of a hiatus in writing. I'm really sorry to say this, especially because I feel that Greywood has started to get some good momentum. I do plan on releasing chapters 19 and 20 in the near future to end ACT 2, but ACT 3 will probably come a bit later once things settle down and I've moved into my new place. 
          
          I feel really bad about this, but hope that after this break, all of you return to find out just how Ky and Rory get along.  Not to mention, how does Ky now fit into the pack as a rogue~
          
          I'll keep everyone updated as things move along.  Until then, wolf pack followers~

Hello, fellow wolf pack!
          
          I've come with some... well news.
          
          I am a bit delayed for the next four chapters.  While 19 and 20 are done, I need more time for 21 and 22.  Honestly, I was hoping to avoid this kind of "rush" again but school work has caught up to me and state testing is this month.  Not only that, my house has been having a lot of issues from a long-time ceiling leak that my room mate and I are finally getting an inspector to see if there is anything else wrong with my place and if mold is now an issue. So the likelihood of me moving within the next month is also going up...
          
          As such, I'm going to be delaying the release of chapters by one week to see if I can catch up. This will affect mostly my Patreon subscribers, who would normally get a full 4 chapters this month.  I did, however, do something similar with the end of Act 1 with a one-week pause, and I'm considering doing something like this again later.
          
          I am EAGERLY awaiting summer break, though, as I will be working not only on Greywood, but finally on Dragon Soul, as well as the Edgewater (Olde Kingdoms) series I've had in mind.  Also got a Sci-Fi genre in the works too, but just need the time to plan and write >.<. 
          
          Again, I apologize for the upcoming delay... but for those of you who liked chapter 18... I'm sure you'll like where 19 and 20 go :)

Hello everyone!
          
          It's been a while since I've posted an update - or at least it feels like it has!
          
          I hope you have been enjoying the story so far.  It does feel weird only having one chapter posted each week instead of my usual two, but I have to admit that it's given me more freedom to both write and not stress about updating with my current busy schedule.  Please, feel free to like and comment on my story, as I'd love to hear your feedback!
          
          While this post is EARLY, the next chapter will be up soon (6AM pst).  Also, if you'd like to get a head start on the next set of 4 chapters, don't forget that Patreon subs will have access to the full month's story!  This also includes bonus stories and lore tidbits which I'll be adding very soon!.

Greetings everyone!
          
          As you may have noticed, Act 2 has started with chapter 11 posted on all platforms (Patreon, Royal Road, Wattpad, and Inkitt). And with the start of Act 2 comes the launch of EARLY ACCESS CHAPTERS!!! WHOO HOO!!!!
          
          For those of you interested, this is how it'll work:
          
          Each month (starting mid-month), the upcoming 4 chapters will be released early for subscribers. Public chapters will continue to release one chapter per week. Right now, early access includes chapters 11-14. Around March 13, the next set will be available.
          
          
          Subscribers will also get to see:
          - my world building notes
          - generated images and concept visuals
          - bonus chapters! (I'm already thinking of one Rory PoV chapter to go along with the lake scene...)
          
          I hope you all have been enjoying the story thus far! With work being work and keeping me busy, the steady one-chapter-per-week framing will keep you all well fed. But come spring break and even summer break, I'll be able to bring more life into Greywood and perhaps even get Dragon Soul posted as well!
          
          Until then, enjoy the world of Greywood, my dear readers.

Greetings!!!
          
          It's been a while since I posted up alerts or even updates here (I swear I'm more active on RR or even Bsky/X).  But I wanted to let everyone know that chapters from 11+ will be released only one a week.  This is mostly because work is kicking my ass and I"m finding little time to consistently have the ability to write outside of planning/grading.  However... for an incentive, if you're interested in seeing each month's chapters, they will all four be added to my patreon~.  No pressure to subscribe, but if you do want an early read, that option will now begin... shortly~ yes yes.
          
          I also want to THANK YOU ALL for reading my story.  Greywood has been a passion project for a while and I"m happy to see you all enjoying what has come from it so far.  I do hope you'll enjoy what's to come too.
          
          Until next time~

Hello everyone!
          
          This will actually mark the end of Arc 01 of Greywood!  I hope you've enjoyed my story so far as I've really really enjoyed writing it.  I do however, have some bad news for the story.  
          
          As of now, work has been kicking my ass (and mix in new WoW stuff happening....) so I have not been able to get as much extra writing as I wanted or liked.  I had AIMED to finish act 2 during my winter break but most of it was spent sick and recovering.  That being said, Act 2 is... probably 60% done, but I'll need more of a buffer to comfortably release it and write more.  With that said... I'll be resorting to only releasing ONE chapter on Friday's now instead of two... SORRY!  But I need more time to get out something that isn't rushed and that I feel good about.  I hope you will understand and stick with me as the story continues.
          
          Next week - there will be no chapter releases as I need a one-week break.  Act 2, Chapter 11 - A Warning, will release on February 13.  I hope you're looking forward to it!
          
          - Jack

Late update!
          
          Sorry guys!  For some reason, the scheduled update didn't work for chapters 5 and 6, so they didn't release this morning like they should have!  I've posted them manually now.  
          
          Again sorrrry!!!!  I hope you enjoy them, though!  Feel free to like and comment~

Hello, everyone!
          
          Happy New Year!!!
          
          And with that, the revamped GREYWOOD is UP!  I will be working on a more consistent writing and update schedule (currently slated at 2 chapters a week - Fridays).  This allows me time to work on new content while maintaining my teacher schedule without stress, haha.  
          
          So far I'm planning a chunk of Greywood chapters to come first for the first ACT... then probably some intro to a universe I call Edgewater, which will be more fantasy-coded omegaverse writing.  
          
          For now, enjoy the new update, and I hope you enjoy it!
          
          I'll be working on updating my patreon too, so if you'd like to support me, it would be much appreciated!

Hello everyone,
          
          It’s been much longer than I expected since my last update, but I finally have some good news to share. My life has calmed down a lot. I’m no longer homeless, and I’m no longer unemployed. Yay!
          
          That said, full-time teaching has once again devoured most of my free time. Fortunately, I’m learning to set better boundaries between work and hobbies, and that means I’m finally carving out space to return to writing. As a heads-up, Greywood will likely be updated (and revamped) first. The full 28–29 chapters are now fully planned — I just need to actually write them T_T.
          
          Dragon Soul may follow, as its 30 chapters and epilogue are also mapped out. However, that story demands a bit more world-building, so it’ll take longer to bring to life.
          
          And lastly… there’s a third series in the works: Edgewater / Ward 4 Mercenaries. It’s a lighter-hearted M/M shifter romance trilogy. The first book features a human/dragon-shifter pairing, with the next likely involving either a human/cat or human/werewolf duo. Each of the three books is already outlined, I just have to breathe them into being.
          
          Thank you all for your patience, support, and for sticking with me through everything. I’m truly hoping to keep the updates flowing more consistently from here on out.

Hello everyone.
          
          I first want to apologize for the lack of February update.  I had really wanted to get Greywood chapters 13-15 (maybe even 16) up last month but it couldn't happen.  Truth of the matter is that I've been struggling to find meaningful employment and the last month was spent in homelessness.  While I did have shelter, thanks to help from a veterans group, I found that I couldn't focus in my setting.  I'm now housed and am slowly working my way to some normalcy. 
          
          That being said, my main focus in March is to get more of Greywood up since I missed my personal deadline on it.  I am not ignoring Dragon Soul, though, and maybe I can get one or two chapters of that up this month also. 
          
          For those of you that have stuck around, thank you so much!  I hope you continue to stay and enjoy what I have in store for you.
