Fifth Draft Complete for Second Wolves of Stormfall Novel

 


I've completed the fifth draft for Book 2 of the Wolves of Stormfall. The text now totals 47,400 words in length, up from 45,600 words at the end of the fourth draft. I still have a couple of scenes I've been thinking of adding, but the text is now far enough along to send out to my beta-readers.

This story bridges the gap between the first Wolves of Stormfall book, and Callisto's appearance in Book 3 of the Stormfall Chronicles. Can't wait to see it complete.

Fourth Draft Completed for Second Wolves of Stormfall Novel

I've completed the fourth draft for the second book in the Wolves of Stormfall series. The text now stands at 45,600 words in length, up from 36,700 words at the end of the third draft. This story bridges the gap between the first Wolves of Stormfall book, and Callisto's appearance in Book 3 of the Stormfall Chronicles.

The story is beginning to be fleshed out. Still a lot more left to do, however, before I can begin cutting this story loose. My plan has been to release the novel first on Kindle Vella, and then subsequently on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.

A Wolf Before the Storm - Now on Kindle Unlimited and Paperback

A Wolf Before the Storm, previously released on Kindle Vella, is now available as an eBook on Kindle Unlimited, as well as in paperback.

Delving into Callisto's story has been especially fun. I hope readers enjoy her her story as much as I have.


In an age of magic, in a realm where werewolves stalk the land, a lost girl awakens from a nightmare – and claims a legend as her own.

Callisto never saw herself as a hero in anyone’s tale, least of all her own. She never saw herself as a villain either. Just someone making the best of an impossible situation.

An indentured servant to a den-master of thieves, she has had to live by her wits and talents – all the while hiding the secrets of her past. Trained as a pickpocket and lockpick, she proves equally adept with a dagger. Fate, it seems, has never thrown her many favors. The few it has given her, she has learned to make the most from.

Everything changes when a chance burglary hints at a hidden cache of letters – letters left behind by an Arche-Mage centuries before. Secreted somewhere in the Imperial Library, the documents promise to fetch a fortune from the right buyer. It could be everything she dreamed of. Enough to pay off her debts. Enough to start a new life. Or it could just as easily land her in the dungeons of an empire vowed to exterminate her kin.

Amidst fleeting glimpses of a life she longs for but can never have, Callisto must maintain her cover long enough to find the treasured documents – before the shadows of her past overtake her.

The first in a new series and set in the same world as the Stormfall Chronicles, this novel follows the story of Callisto more than a decade before she appears in Book 3 of the Stormfall Chronicles.
