As I mentioned earlier, I've been planning a standalone story that will be easier to sell as my first book than a whole series. From this concept comes Drugan's Tale (a working title), which will be an account of an ancestor of Aleric of Tione Shynne and the very first battle with the Silverfolk, 500 years before the novel series takes place.

I plan on placing most of my emphasis on this and getting a short story published. I will work on the novel you've been reading, but probably much less. It appears as if the new chapters I post aren't really getting read, anyway. However, if enough people let me know that they're up to date and want to read more now, I'll try to balance both novels and the short stories and work on them all at once. Just let me know.

In the meantime, I'll keep on providing artwork and more info on Drugan's Tale-- and hopefully soon, the first few chapters. At the moment, I'm working out the synopsis.
