Hey all!

In the last update, I was over the moon because the ad campaign went well and there were 80 followers. I wasn't expecting much more then next thing I knew it was edging 400, for lack of better phrasing.

And I was like "dope now Imma write the second one," started it, and promptly hit ye olde brick wall.

Life hit me hard. I'll spare you the list of excuses, but this is to say that basically I'm SUPER behind on To Rhial 2, though it is started and currently in progress.

But I don't think the break was a bad thing, because I needed a mental break from such a dismal, grimdark story to get a fresh perspective on my plan for the series. I now have that vision along with a more polished ability to write.

Between the last post and now, another story came to me that is now going live. I'm super excited about it finally releasing and it would mean a lot if you checked it out. It has an end, and is finished, so have no worries about it taking attention from this series.

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

Dreams of Imahken cured my writer's block. It's a story that you'll probably like it if you enjoyed To Rhial, a gothic fairytale inspired by the myths, fairytales, and Shakespeare plays I grew up reading. It's my first attempt at mystery and romance, so any and all feedback would be appreciated. I've taken the reviews, the comments, everything you've said (positive and negative) to heart, so I sincerely thank you all for helping me become a better writer. I'll pay it back by writing better!

To Rhial has a clear plan for several books more and an end, as it has been since I began, it's just gonna take time to finish them. Have no worries there. Now that I'm sober, graduated, working, and settled into a new chapter of life, I've turned my full free attention to it. I wish I could give a new deadline of when it will be out, but I can't. My life and job come before this writing hobby of mine, so there's no way I can accurately predict when the book will be done. I'll post updates on my Twitter/X (@RenCoryWrites) about its progress because I feel bad getting hopes up with an update "chapter" instead of new content. Thank you for your patience thus far, I gift you something to read in the meantime! The promo material is below, click it to get there.

Stay foxy 🦊 with love 💙,
