Book 3 went from 73,700 words under the second draft, to 89,800 words today. The story feels much more fleshed out now, with so many gaps filled in. The next round of edits will hopefully get me closer to the point where it's ready to release to beta readers.
It's taken longer than I might have hoped for to complete the third book in the Wolves of Stormfall series. Life gets in the way sometimes. More than that, it's taken longer, now that my daughters have grown and are no longer my first and most important audience. I miss writing, just to see what their reaction would be. Looking forward to hearing their impressions and suggestions for what I might improve.
I'm over ninety percent through the second draft to Book Three of the Wolves of Stormfall. Of necessity, it's a more complicated story than the other two books in this spin-off series. Trying to tie together Callisto's life, after the events of the Stormfall Chronicles, requires a broader tale and multiple points of view. It is nearing its conclusion. Here's to hoping that 2026 will be the year that this series comes to shine as I believe it deserves.
I'm over half way through the second draft for Book 3 in the "Wolves of Stormfall". Still a long ways to go to clean it up and get it ready, but slowly getting there. Wanted to give Callisto the finale she deserved.
There's also a prequel to that same series - for which the second draft was completed some time ago (before Book 2 was even complete). Can't wait to get it all out there.

The third book in the Wolves of Stormfall series is finally beginning to come together. It has taken longer than I had expected, as other demands have intruded on my writing time, but I have finally reached the point where it's beginning to take shape.
First drafts are always messy things, at least for me they are, with loose ends and scenes out of order. I'm over a third of the way through the second draft for Book 3 now, and am finally beginning to appreciate the direction it's going. Hope to add more on that score soon.
The third book in the Wolves of Stormfall series follows the adventures of Callisto - after the events in Book 4 of the Stormfall Chronicles. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

Happy to see another reviewer enjoying the story.
"Storm’s Tempest forms the grand finale of this epic fantasy series full of fae, goblins, dragons, magic and more. Main characters Lynette and Baxter obviously feature heavily, but they are joined by many other POV characters as they take their final stand against Marwel and her dark hordes.
For long-term readers, we finally find out more about the mysteries that have been teased in Lynette and Garth’s respective pasts. . . . Epic battles are interspersed with moments of quiet reflection and character growth, and all outstanding questions are wrapped up neatly to leave no troublesome trailing threads, leading to a very satisfying conclusion."
