Sorry for the long gap. A lot has happened, and I don't want to get into it fully. My dog died in a tragic accident, and my kids and I went through a long period of grieving and distractions. I tried to ignore writing during that time and drank a lot while catching up on movies and TV shows. However, eventually, my passion came back when I started dreaming of my characters and future storylines. This actually created something wonderful. I've been struggling with how to end book 3 and transition to book 4. The issue was I feel close to finishing this arc, but I'm only halfway through the book. Yet I want the next book to be in a new world and thousands of years later. So, I need to stretch the story in book 3 and touch on the new world by the end, which will be before the thousands of years in the future of book 4. But then I had a major idea during a dream that would bridge the gap between books 3 and 4 to explain some of what happened during that time. It would be a sort of side book, written in 1st person point of view but from a brand new character. This character due to tragedy will put together a group of killers and they'll be known as the Death Troupe. One of those members will be The Sunstrider. So, now I'm working on characters, world building, story, and everything else necessary for a new book. Then once I'm good with that, I'll figure out how to get to that point in the best way, while still setting up for the next Sunstrider book as well.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

This is probably my biggest project yet, and I'm wanting to get it right before pushing more chapters out. But my timeline is hopefully within the next month to get new chapters posted. My other projects will continue soon afterward too. Oh, and book 4 will deal with an alien invasion. Spoil alert!

You all are the best,
