And in their mercy, they have ended us.

Two years ago to the date I was prepping my first four chapters of Under Quiet Skies getting ready to release on Tapas.

I set a goal that I wanted to try and write something comprehensive - flesh out a world on paper long enough to be invested, and eventually Erith popped into my head.

A world beginning to fade and a boy farming for the shards that keep his world whole while it quietly fractures.

A little over a year later, I had wrote the final chapter of Book One, and naively thought I could keep pace into Book Two.

I've found so much enjoyment in this journey of writing a story that a younger StrayCat would have a hard time putting down - I think I've hit that goal, but I'm not finished yet.

I've promised myself I'll complete my edits of Book One and move to Book Two - and I'm going to hold myself to that promise, but I will first write Book Two before I publish.

For Tapas, I'll keep Under Quiet Skies up for about one more week and then I will be re-releasing my polished Book One weekly on another platform - I've heard Pinya has a lot of familiar faces, so you can likely find me there in the next month or so.

To everyone who has read the story - I hope it's brought you as much enjoyment as it's brought me. To those who haven't had time to yet, I hope you find it one day! Erith's journey awaits.

I had been going back on forth on this a bit, but I have updated the chapter titles due to consolidating a bit of Ch 1 - 3 so that the story flows a little smoother. Nothing plot-wise has changed! Just a smoother read for new readers, so next chapter will also be "Chapter 48"

Hi all! These past few weeks have been a whirlwind. I hadn't even realized I crossed a year since I started writing Under Quiet Skies!

It's been a little challenging to keep pace as Book One draws to a close, but I've never been more invested in bringing the story I want to share to life.

These past few months, and especially these past few weeks, I've worked on refining the story (Nothing plot-wise has changed, so if you're currently reading don't worry about that)

I will still be going through and editing for better flow in the future, but I can truly say that this is a story I am incredibly proud of.

I've poured my soul into it, and I hope that the readers feel that as they dive into the story. Some parts you may want to look away, but I hope the story keeps drawing you back.

Check out Under Quiet Skies when you have a chance! I'd love to hear what you think of the story!

Some may see you as an answer to their faith… A prophecy.

And faith like that… Faith can make people do terrible things.

Under Quiet Skies continues in Ep 1.45 - Judgement of a Fading Age

Beneath the tower, bindings will be cut. Not by choice, but by necessity.

“The wonders of our world await, Erith. Are you ready to see them with your own eyes?”

Under Quiet Skies returns in Ep 1.43 - The Dark Beneath the Tower

Sorry all that it took me a few weeks to get back to writing! Life got very busy very quickly, but I took that time to do some fall cleaning on the story as well. I hope that you are all enjoying the story, and if you haven't had a chance, check out Under Quiet Skies!
