Well, well, well. I'll be damned.
It's been over a week now since Among Wolves was released to the world, and it's been quite the whirlwind.
Feedback is now starting to roll in — with many people absolutely loving this sequel, but being equally maddened that they now have to wait for Book 7.
Well, in true Watson trademark fashion, I will not be giving a release date for the concluding novel.
"Boo!" I hear you cry.
For what it's worth, I can assure you that you will NOT be waiting long for this one.
How am I able to make this promise?
For starters, I'm back to outlining again, which is an output multiplier in its own right. Then there's this devilry called voice dictation. While there are still days I wrestle with it, dictation — along with AI cleaning up my messy transcripts — is drastically beefing up my daily word count.
But there is something else that is allowing me to make this bold assurance:
I'm ready to tell different stories.
(Albeit in the same universe.)
The Divided Region, while an absolute pleasure to traverse, has been in the making for the better part of half a decade, and it would be nice to have a complete arc for the first series—
Oh, shizzle sticks!
Did I… just…
Disclose a carefully guarded secret?
Ah!
WELL, SECRETS BE DAMNED!
This is the Legion, and holding back would go against the very constitution that makes this author newsletter so moreish.
Am I right? 😬
(In fact, don't answer that.)
So yes, there will likely be a second series in the future. And yes, it will be just as epic as the first.
I shall bump my gums no more.
If I reveal every dirty little hush-hush here in my writer's corner, then there would be spoilers galore, and where's the fun in that?
Until that fateful day more is divulged on a second series that I may or may not have already jotted notes down for…
I've got the seventh book to write.
And YOU, my faithful disciple, have got Among Wolves to read or listen to, if you haven't already.
What's that I hear?
You haven't got your copy yet?
Well, you need not suffer any more. Take my hand and let me guide you to the Promised Land here:
