Okay, so here's the situation: my original plan was to have two books detailing Robert's time away before his eventual return to Earth. However, as I'm rereading, Book 2 Chapter 14, of what I thought would be a quick story, I'm realizing that two books simply won't be enough to do this story justice. My initial outline had the second book covering a very rapid 100 years, which felt quick but detailed, and then the final book would cover several hundred more, all at a fast pace, culminating in Robert's highly anticipated return to Earth.

The issue is, as it stands now, in Chapter 14, only about two weeks have passed since Robert and Elara arrived in this new world. After carefully reevaluating and rewriting the outlines, it's become clear that this story will likely need four books to be told properly. I've come to realize that I don't want to rush the narrative just to get back to Earth prematurely. I'm genuinely happy with how the story is developing; yes, it's a slower start than initially planned, but I believe that a strong foundation is crucial, and there is a lot of important story to be told that should not be missed. This slower pace allows a more gradual world-building and a more natural character development that will enrich the story.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

So, I wanted to give you all a heads-up and manage expectations. While I know many of you are eager for the story to return to Earth, I hope you'll appreciate the journey we're taking to get there. This is a longer story than I first thought, but I believe this more expansive approach will ultimately create a more satisfying and richer narrative for everyone. I appreciate your continued support.
