Hey everyone! Silvertongue here! Just recently I got a badge from RR itself, congratulating me on my 2nd year, officially, as of today, on the site as an account holder! Reforged from Ruin itself took another week or so to get started I think, at least when it comes to publishing online, but either way, it's... sort of an anniversary.

And. Completely unintentionally, as a fun twist of fate. It's also one week before I stub RfR.

It's a nerve-wracking decision, scary as fuck, and long in the making- I don't think it's missed anyone's notice how badly the schedule has gotten FYUCKED about with due to my scheduling over the last month or two. Believe me, I've noticed, especially when it comes to numbers- but that's sort of the reason it had to happen in the first place.

I'm not perfect, and certainly am not the perfect writer, but I'm really proud of what I've made, the community that's grown around it, and all of the wonderful things that can come from it, even though I know I'm still new to all this, and have a lot of skills still to acquire! Even with my sloppiness and the human frailties that have made me perhaps (definitely) not as good at marketing or consistency as the likes of Mammal, Broker, or other titans of the space, something really amazing has happened here, something that truly means the world to me. These are things I'm working on, new ways that I'm actively trying to improve, but, just like with anyone else, it starts by taking a scary step forward, and taking that amazing thing and seeing how far we can go. I've been living on a very tight budget the last two years as I pursued writing as a full time job, and I'm unbelievably lucky that I've managed to do exactly that, but I am looking to build a career and enough stability to actually support myself properly, not just by the skin of my teeth. To do that, I have to keep moving forward. Especially in the shitshow that the US of A (ironic ass name) and it's ongoing catastrophes (yes, plural, so plural), and as I start to mature into later adulthood (at a ripe old age of 27 as of a few weeks back), I need to change things.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

So. It's official. Book one, chapters 1-45, will be officially going on to be kindle exclusive sooner than later. Like all the other examples I admire, I'll be keeping the first few chapters up as a prelude, something to make sure that there's always an entry point into the series, and I'm also going to be good to my patrons and those who ask when it comes to making sure folks keep access to the work. Still, gotta work for the new audience I hopefully accrue on amazon, that behemoth of leviathans.

Wish me luck, folks. I couldn't be here without you, and it means the world to me to even be able to take this step. I'm so proud and so happy to be here, and I am genuinely so hopeful at being in a place where I can see the next steps I need, and have the ability to take them. Even if I'm terrified.

SO! That's it, babes! One more week, and book one goes up! Re-read, get your friends into it, mark your calendars, cause a big change is a comin!!!
