Ok, I said there was an embarrassing thing I had to admit.
In my novel , there was such a cool side character that I wanted to write him into a story of his own. He was this middle-aged hunter, really competent, fun but wry, practical but with strong morals, matured like fine wine.
So that was where I got the main character for Unfought Wars, Locke.
Except his name wasn’t Locke ?? I misremembered the name of my own character in true “Maybe it was this? Probably, can’t bother to check, lets write a whole book about him” fashion.
Actually the character’s name was Folke.
I’m going to retcon the name now since we’re heading to the second volume. This will be confusing for everyone for a while and I’m sorry about this, but I just can’t keep supporting two names for the character depending on whether we’re on RR or elsewhere.
Secondly: I have published The Mountain Ride also as a book, so if you’ve read the whole thing and enjoyed it, I would really, REALLY appreciate it if you could drop me a rating or review on or ! I’m NOT going to stub anything here on RoyalRoad, as I want to share the whole series with you, but it would really help me justify the decision if you could help me out and drop some ratings or reviews outside of RoyalRoad for me.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
Thirdly: the next volume will be released Monday through Friday. I’ll take a break on weekends. This will both allow me to hit the Writathon goals and give me a bit of room to breathe. If you want to read ahead, Patreon will run seven chapters ahead of RR. Why seven? Because that’s what I think I will be able to manage ?? Though, please take note that this is honestly going to be an actual challenge for me, so expect the quality of polish and proofreading to go down. When you spot something dumb, leave suggestions for me! ???♂?
As a thanks for reading this far, here’s a full short story that I just unstubbed: The Academy is Velonea's high powered school for necromancers, but the janitor is just a guy, trying to keep everything in working order while being heckled by zombies, faculty members with more than a few loose marbles and snow, so much snow.
The story has no relation to Unfought Wars, except it’s also set in Velonea. Still, I promise it’s quite fun ??
