Hey everyone!
Here's the latest chapter fresh off the keyboard! There's a long-awaited scene in this chapter that I hope I did justice... I think you'll know which one. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts!
The same drill as usual with the editing. I've done a quick first pass of Part 1 and I'll go through Part 2 as I get the edits back.
Enjoy!

Hey everyone!
I've completed the first half of chapter 114 and handed it over to my editors. I'm planning to finish the chapter by the end of the month, so not too long a wait for that!
December always upends my writing schedule, with Christmas obviously having an impact. I will probably aim to get one chapter out next month and focus on getting eBook 4 done before the holidays.

Hey everyone!
Here's chapter 113 at long last. It's a little bit longer than normal as I had a few important scenes I wanted to include in this one.
I've done a quick edit of the first half and I'll go through the rest once my editors have had a chance to send their edits back to me.
Hope you enjoy it!

Hey everyone!
I've finished part 1 and handed it over to the editors. I should have part 2 finished by around the 14th or 15th, so apologies for the delay. I've been working on some important scenes that are scheduled for a few chapters from now, so that's slowed me down a bit on the current chapter.
I'll be intrigued to read the feedback on those! :-)

Hello everyone!
Here's the latest chapter hot off the keyboard. I've edited part 1 and the editors are currently reviewing part 2, so I'll update the post with the newer versions as soon as I complete my edits.

Hey everyone!
Apologies for the lack of recent updates. At the point we're at in the story, there are multiple plot threads which needed serious thought to make sure they come together correctly, which has slowed down my daily word count a little.

Hi everyone,
Here's the completed version of chapter 111! I haven't done any editing yet, so you can expect some minor changes as I go through all the various editing suggestions.
Apologies for the delay in getting the second half to you. There were a number of factors:
1) Unforeseen family commitments.
2) I wrote a few scenes which I chopped from this chapter and pushed to a l...

I handed part 1 of the next chapter over to my editors last night, having written just over 20k words so far. I'm launching into part 2 right now, so I'm on schedule to have the chapter completed by the 20th September.

I'll wrap this up tomorrow and update the post with the completed version when it's done.

I'm back from the Emerald Isle and a very beautiful place it was too! It was my first trip to Ireland and the part we visited (the south west) kind of reminded me of the Lake District in England. If I was planning on writing a fantasy epic, it would have all been very inspiring... maybe in a few years time!

Here's the first half of chapter 107 (it's still 30k words), which is part of the "wider galaxy" chapter, covering events going on elsewhere in the story.

Hey guys!
I changed my mind! I was going to make this a smaller chapter to tag on the end of 105... but it ended up being about 8k larger than I planned... /rollseyes.
As it's so big, I might as well just call it chapter 106 and keep it separate... so here it is, the final installment of their time on Olympus shipyard.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking about making chapter 105 a double sized chapter and just wrapping up the end of the Olympus events in one go (before I release it on literotica/storiesonline).
As it currently stands, chapter 105 is nearly 34k words and I've just handed over another 16k to my editors. I'll write roughly another 10k to wrap up events, which should cover the scenes I've still got to wr...

Hey everyone!
I handed over part 1 to my editors a few days ago, but unfortunately I've caught a flu bug from junior. :-(
My productivity has taken a nosedive, so finishing the chapter by the 25th is highly unlikely. I've written 3k of part 2, so it will probably take me about 4 more days to complete it (roughly 3k/day).
Apologies for the delay!
