Well, this is my first time stubbing a fiction on RR. We almost got through 6 entire books before I stubbed it, so I count that as a win. 1.1m words, the first ~50 of which just got nuked from low Earth orbit. (I just pressed a button a few times, but you know).
This whole thing has been super-duper weird. N&D was written as a way for me to get away from writing dark fantasy and romance. When I first started, I said to myself "I want a story where nothing happens. This guy just makes potions." I know that's not where I ended up, but a lot of other things have changed. N&D hit Rising Stars just as I was about to stop writing it. The readership grew and some people said they really liked it. (There's even some fan art, if you can believe it). Even further down the road, I was ready to close N&D out at Book 4. An individual (who knows who they are) told me to hound a certain publisher about picking the book up, and they bought 7.
Perhaps you've noticed, but I've always removed "Summon the Great Spirits" from my page. While I thought that story was interesting, I only had like 30 chapters and the realization that it could be a better story. I've rolled that into another story that I'm going to release here... once I rewrite some stuff... Yeah.
Anyway, thanks for coming along for the ride. If you're new here, or if you've been riding shotgun for two years, thanks for reading.
