The series is ending prematurely with the seventh book (that post has some details and links to a longer one).
This decision breaks 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. The earliest the final book will release is…? Maybe 2026? I’m sorry, 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.
