This is not a chapter of the Soulforger. You can skip this chapter without missing any of the story.

My first story, the SoulForger, has reached the final few chapters of the first book. It introduced Braxon/Kai, his trusted friend Relay, and a host of supporting cast that color the world of Long Yuan. This is as far as I have planned for the current story, and I will take a break after the following few chapters.

I've learned quite a lot writing this book and made many mistakes, stumbling the whole way. Thank you for reading. I tried to stay on track, publish regularly, and do my best to create an exciting story. I wanted to say thank you to everyone who critiqued the story, gave your feedback (I did read every comment and found it invaluable), and encouraged me.

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

My current thinking has me leaning toward starting a brand new story, taking the lessons learned from this, and trying to improve. I want to write something with a broader appeal and explore it thoughtfully. As an author, I hope to continue refining my craft so I can one day write full-time.

If you have any ideas for more popular genres and how I might approach them thoughtfully, leave me a comment. I understand if people are disappointed that I don't plan to continue Soulforger immediately. Maybe when I complete another book, I'll have enough skill to return and do it justice!

Thank you for your support and for your invaluable feedback. It has been my pleasure to write for you.
