hello everyone! First of all, apologies for this not-a-chapter announcement, but RR doesn’t have a better mechanism to contact everyone who might be interested in this news: Epilogue has been picked up by a publisher! This includes an ebook of course, but also a paperback and audiobook! Preorders are up now, and release date is June 7th.

This version of Epilogue has been professionally edited and contains a new revision with new content. The entire piece is approximately 9200 words longer than the RR edition. In addition, the audiobook is professionally acted, with three individual voices for Matt, Carl and Jen! Their credits will be listed at the end of this post.

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
To head off some questions:
1. Will this version be taken down?
No! This novel is not entering the Kindle Unlimited platform, so the original version on RoyalRoad isn’t going anywhere. That said, the published version is a significant improvement, so I highly recommend it :)
2. Sequel/prequel/etc?
No plans, but never say never.
3. Your other works?
Snipe has been picked up by the same publisher! Expect it soon with the same great production quality :) For my other writing, I’ve unfortunately been very preoccupied with life (covid, my house burned down, had surgery, couple other nightmares). Hopefully news on those soon.
Thank you all for reading, and for joining me on this writing journey. I super appreciate all the comments and reviews this story has received. We peaked at #3 on RoyalRoad and have stuck in the top 10 completed stories since it was posted, three years ago. That’s a remarkable run already, and I owe it to the readers. I'll be around for any questions in the comments here—I read every single comment you post, even if I don't respond on many.
Vei illum dellis 💙
