Huge thanks to all #PIPBK friends who have been giving me excellent criticism this past week. Apologies in advance if I don't respond at least once to everyone. I have been reading everything you all are sending me, and I can't thank you all enough! :)
          	
          	For those who don't know, Pretty In Punk is an excellent book club who I would recommend to everyone looking to improve their craft. Great group. Great people. Lots of enjoyable reading!

@TeodoratheScholar Right? Only downside of this group is that I don't have the time to read all the great stories that cross my path to completion ;p

As much as I like PIPBK, I something hate that I need to stop and comment when I want to go further and check the important twists. And... I've reached some spoilers in your book already.:)

@MartinNeue Hi! ThaQ!t's a cool thing to do Martin. "Aw shucks! (I tend to talk like my favorite animated characters like bugs bunny LOL for laughs) it's alright ... you are better than me cause if I respond to any comments in my busy schedule, those authors should be glad I took the time to do so.  Anyway, Take Care and see you around in the club!

And so we begin again. I have just uploaded the Prologue for "The Beholding," which is the sequel to "The Hollowing." 
          
          I will be taking next week off to get some stuff sorted, but then chapters will start rolling in twice a week. See you then!

Alas, WP's word limit made it difficult quite difficult to encapsulate my thoughts fully, so I deferred to my blog to give a status update with my series:
          https://martin-neue.com/2023/03/27/the-hollowing-finale-future-plans-for-series/
          
          The TL;DR:
          1) I wrote a sequel! :D
          2) It might be the last for a little while. :(
          
          Either way, I feel as good about The Beholding as I did with The Hollowing, so those who have been enjoying the fun will have another chance to see our loveable mercenaries fight some baddies.
          
          Until next time!

@MartinNeue I love those two stories tooooo! Byzantine Purple is so electric.

@goncalobooks Oh yeah, not promising a time-commitment, but I do want to go back and see Davir's origins, how the rebellion factors into it, and of course, Salmior generally being a bastion of stability in your novel. The unfortunate, capitalist game is always figuring out how/when I can factor this into my schedule, same as Byzantine Purple and Garden of Light. I miss our group QQ.
            
            Heron can keep doing Heron things though D;<

And that is a wrap. We have finished "The Hollowing." What a journey this has been. 
          
          I've got a bit more thoughts to collect on where I'm going next, but I need to spend a couple hours giving it all a good think. In the meantime, enjoy!

@MartinNeue  congratulations! Must be such a feeling :D.

@MartinNeue that’s intriguing! I can imagine, I wish I can hit that milestone with mine but I have way too much to tell yet ><.

@AnnamitaMuscaria oh, it's only just beginning D:
            
            Hitting this benchmark felt real satisfying though.

Minor scheduling announcement: Chapter 31 of "The Hollowing" is up! Because we're close to the end, I'm going to ramp up pressure on myself to post twice per week instead of once, with the next chapter posted on Friday instead of next Monday.
          
          See you then!
