The mysterious curse was becoming clearer to Enzu now that he'd met Li and Naram. But where did that leave Tristan? 8,275 words. The Ancient Hunger series is going to be in 5 parts. The first and last book will be free, so the investment for those who get them in episodes won't be out more than $3, around the same price I plan to bundle them for. It was an experiment from the beginning to test myself as a writer to see if I could do cliffhangers and to write in a genre I'm not terribly comfortable writing in. It really was just a self-indulgent exercise on my part. Publishing it in episodes (rather than completing it first) forced me to finish it, rather than sit on it unfinished indefinitely. The series will be complete and published in full on October 18, 2013.
