2023 was a big year for Silver: An Unholy History of Wolfkind, and more is coming in 2024! I'm pleased to announce that an audiobook version of Silver will be available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes at the end of the month!
          
          To celebrate, as of tomorrow, I'm extending the number of free preview chapters available on Wattpad up to Chapter 3, in case you weren't sure about picking up a copy of Silver before!
          
          Stay tuned for the official release day of the audiobook, which I'll be announcing here and on all my social media platforms!

I am so late on reading your work, "Silver" TT I was planning to continue reading it but it's already been published, as expected published books has the chapters taken down for publishing reasons... hope I get to see more of your work soon!xoxo

@zayiinkun thank you for wanting to continue with Silver! Yeah, as you said chapters were removed due to publishing reasons and due to the original copy of Silver being almost nothing like the published version. If you do want to buy a copy, it's available at most major retailers, and there's also an audiobook that's coming out before the end of the year! 
            
            I do have another project in the works, another stand-alone novel. It was originally going to be a cosmic horror story, but it's since become slipstream fiction. I'm hoping for it to be out in 2024, but don't have a more concrete timeline than that yet.
            
            I probably won't be publishing more on Wattpad beyond uploading sample chapters of future works and also maybe some short story competitions. I feel a lot more comfortable navigating the publishing world now than I did at 19 when I first wrote Silver.

I am very late. Please blame the procrastination. 
          
          Disclaimer this is all my opinion and how I interpreted stuff.  
          
          First, Congratulations on getting your book published. Second, I had a great time reading Silver. 
          
          There might be spoilers, but I will do my best to avoid them, so beware. 
          
          I am unfortunately unable to judge the book as a separate entity, because of reading the earlier version. This causes me to not experience this as a first-time reader and knowing some of the major plotlines and –twists. Which ruins the effect of the reveal. 
          I am also a dum-dum so I might have missed some things during reading which make things clearer. 
          Now that the disclaimer is over let's get started. 
          
          Erin is a more a character. He has now more “objectives” other than survive. Now he has things outside of pure self-interests. His new personality still has some of his previous traits, but he less of a fighter, which matches with the fact that it is unknown whether he is an eclipse wolf or not. It makes the story way less about him in specific and more about Marius and Erin. 
          
          I think the start of their relationship is neat, it is a small way to introduce them together. With Erin's new character they complement each other way more. Previously they were both “fighters” and now they support each other way more. Which I like. 
          
          The ending great. I like the decision that Marius and Erin make. I don’t want to say too much for obvious reasons. 
          
          Have a nice day!

@OrcaAndTheFox sorry for being late in my reply. Thank you so much for leaving a comment about your thoughts on the published version!
            
            I'm glad you enjoyed the novel even though you knew the major twists. I tried to preserve as much of the original plot as possible. Hopefully, seeing how these twists were executed was still entertaining for you, even though you knew what was going to happen!
            
            I made my changes to Erin after my editor pointed out after reading the original, "Why wouldn't someone have killed Erin by now, even if killing a pack member was 'illegal'? Someone would have done it regardless." Instead of making him definitively an Eclipse Wolf, I added ambiguity to justify why he was still alive. I made unshifting wolves a separate thing that was rare but sometimes occurred, and then made an Eclipse Wolf this mythical monster. I wanted to keep the reader wondering about whether he was or wasn't throughout the novel.
            
            Because of the change to the plot, it made sense for him to be more of a bookish character. Ironically, the fight scenes became longer and more dramatic after rewriting, even though he's no longer a trained fighter. I wanted the focus to be on Marius and Erin, and I introduced them much sooner into the story. Marius's Lycan blessing is now less of a boon to him, and he and Erin need to rely more on cunning to get what they want.
            
            The ending was the biggest thing in need of fixing, both in terms of pacing and content. I realized Marius and Erin in the original were dooming themselves to repeat certain mistakes that had been made in the past (keeping it vague to avoid spoilers). I also didn't want to keep the "we found out the truth and everything is okay now" ending I'd originally written. Things aren't perfect at the end of the new book, but Erin and Marius's situation is certainly better.
            
            Thank you again for buying and reading the new copy, it means the world to me! ❤️
