Okay, so I know I have been pretty terrible at keeping this website active with new updates but I wanted to give some hope.
Despite the long intervals between uploads of The Last Traveler, that doesn't mean it isn't being worked on. Quite the opposite, in fact. I am thigh-deep in the waters of story creation. After the release of Chapter 5, I turned the gears a little bit so the teeth ran in another direction. It became apparent to me after writing Chapter 6 that I needed to finish the thing off. And so, I have written a large chunk of the remainder of the book. There are holes and places where Alex and Daern need to fill out, but overall it has formed up. I am in the process of going back through previous chapters and updating it. A lot of the work I am doing right now is making sure the characters are consistent and that their motivations are clear. It is very important for everything to make sense. As one can imagine, this all takes quite a bit of work getting everything together (and in the middle of regular life occurring at lightning speed and having a full-time job as an engineer). Everything is time-consuming. But with that all said, The Last Traveler is coming along and I love it. It is totally my baby. For now, it would be my Star Wars, or my Lord of the Rings. So don't be worried, IT IS still coming. I am not exactly sure on any production because I fully intend to query this book and go for publication with it. It is just way too much work to create this world and not give it the best shot to be released by a publisher. If, and that is a big IF, that were to happen it would surely be some time. I am thinking in the terms of years. As for those of you who are following along with Alex on his journey, do not despair. It has not been lost and it is coming. And as always, thank you for reading this and being there for me. I can't wait to show the world what is going on in this story. -TS
