Hey folks,

  finally another update on Starborn!

  First of all, I have to say sorry for the long silence. I not only kept you in the dark, I didn't even hand out the chapters for those that wanted to help me out by test-reading the first 10 chapters.

  I fell into quite a hole and wasn't able to get out for some time. I now understand why so many authors just stop writing at some point. As soon as you get out of your rhythm, real life catches up and pulls you completely out of it.

  Luckily I managed to fight my way back - since a few weeks my fingers are itching to continue with Starborn.

  Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.

  Last week I was finally able to re-organize my days and assign enough time for Starborn. After re-reading Book 3, I now have written a few chapters and at the same time continued the rework on the editing of Book 1.

  Next steps: I'll reach out for those that wanted to test-read the first 10 chapters and see if they are still interested. After getting their feedback, I'll start publishing Book 3 on RR with 2 Chapters/Week. I have written enough to not catch up before finishing the Book.

  The test-readers will have about two weeks to give their feedback, after that I need a week to finalize the chapters.

  Release of Book 3 therefore is scheduled for Friday, 01/08/25!

  Thank you all for still being here after my long pause.

  I'm sure you'll see that it was worth to wait. Book 3 is awesome!

  Have a great time everyone,

  Dusky
