Hello, dear readers!
With another book finished, we all have one more reason to celebrate. Cheers to you, who have accompanied me on this journey. But the adventures of Noah and Lorelei are far from over - there are more challenges to face, more sweet words to be spoken, and more monsters to be killed. Regarding all this, I need to make some announcements.
1. I'll be having a 2-month break. I know it is a long time, but I need to recharge my batteries. As you have noticed, during the last chapters of Book 3 I messed up my regular posting schedule - something I'm not proud of. There are a lot of plotlines in Book 4 that need to fit together - the resolution of Pricilla's conflict, the entanglement of Lorelei with the Church, Lorelei and Noah's romance (and we are going full sweetness and spice for Book 4), the Crown Prince's visit, and all the villains' machinations. I need these couple of months to set the event sequences right to ensure a smooth read.
Also, I REALLY need to edit Book 2. I've been writing a couple of additional chapters and reworking the finer details to bring out even more Lorelei-Noah cuteness (I know, there has been a brazen lack of romance in this romantasy book. I'm working on correcting it. All I can say is... hot, shirtless Noah and a duel... Let your imagination run wild!).
So, The Beast and The Swallow goes on 2 months vacation. The first chapter of Book 4 will come out either for New Year or the first week of January.
Please, follow the story to be notified when the next chapter is out!
2. The incredible @P4nta has asked me whether they can use The Beast and The Swallow as inspiration for their music school project and I was honored to accept. The Beast and The Swallow is getting its own soundtrack!!! I'll be posting links to the music when P4nta uploads it. Many thanks to this gifted composer for reading my work and getting inspired by Noah and Lorelei's journey!
3. I'm currently working on a special 2nd edition of Book 1 that will be out on Amazon before Christmas. We are talking a beautiful new cover and extra chapters (yes, relationship/romance edits are on the horizon). If you still haven't had the chance, or inclination, to get an official Amazon copy of Book 1, I encourage you to do so. The Kindle version is the price of a cup of coffee. All acquired funds will be invested in the publishing of Book 2.
As a little reward, here are some images that a little AI generated for me, depicting some cute Noah-Lorelei moments (in no particular order and Noah's scar is missing, but I'll be adding it soon).

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
And, of course, the last image is my promise for Book 4:
