As you may have noticed, I've been posting a lot less lately simply because my time has been overtaken by writing Volume 4.  I think at this point in writing the series, I'm starting to hit my stride.  I already have the outline of how the series is going to end, but the details that are being filled in are coming out naturally.  I'm very excited for my fans, as I promise to pull no punches heading down the home stretch.  I think the conclusion I have envisioned will be a satisfying one for Iris Lawton's journey.

For those who are caught up to Volume 3: Alphas, I'll offer a few tid bits so that you'll know what's to come for Volume 4:

- Volume 4 will be going back to basics.  While Volumes 2 (Horus) and 3 (Alphas) had a more slow-progressing kind of feel, Volume 4 will be similar to Volume 1 in the pacing.  Expect to see a lot more action breaks.

- Without spoiling Volume 3, I can say that Volume 4 represents a shift in the series that will carry on to the conclusion.  You'll definitely know what the ultimate end game is.

- Volume 4 will take place 10 years after the events of Volume 3.  Overall, the time gap between Volume 1 and Volume 4 will be 31 years.

- As always, expect to see some surprises and familiar faces, especially toward the end

At the pace I'm going, Volume 4 should be completed by mid February.  Then I'll allow an rigorous editing period, and I'm aiming for a April release.  As of now, it's probably 75 percent written.

I'm looking forward to releasing the next installment of Halfkinds, and I truly appreciate the support I've been given.  I told myself when I started, I just wanted to know that there'd be someone who liked my writing.  While I still feel the sky is the limit, knowing that I actually have readers makes me very happy.

Expect a cover reveal soon!
