June Note for Kindle Readers: as of June 1 the series is no longer available on Kindle due to Amazon’s lack of transparency around usage of generative AI and their lack of a Terms of Service update for publishers. I’m very sorry but I cannot abide by their actions. You can continue to the series by buying direct on Payhip and sideloading or use Kobo or iBooks.

These are all extras. The West stories in particular might add different layers to the main series but they are not necessary to enjoy the books.
The series is ending prematurely with the seventh book (that post has some details and links to a longer one).
This decision broke my heart but was made for the sake of my health due to high levels of theft and the ensuing stress. I will endeavor to have a satisfying conclusion, but this means I have to rearrange things to make it a series end and try to reconnect with the characters and world, which is very hard to do. I need at least a year to revise and edit it after it’s written, and it’s not written yet–I do not have the time to devote to it.
This upsets people, I know, but I cannot magically cure my chronic health conditions, fix my poverty, or erase the stress associated with hatemail from readers for years, so please do not yell at me. To write this book, I have to do so for me rather than because I feel obligated, and that has become impossible.
