I hope everyone enjoyed the spoiler for book four (It might be seven, but that's another story). It isn't really as spoiler heavy it looks. If you avoided the story to avoid spoilers though, you might want to skip down the READ HERE below.
The destruction of the Wisp is mentioned on the wiki where you can also find out what eventually happened to it. Obviously, since Chass ends up as a professor about a hundred years after book one (vykati can live to 200 or more) he doesn't die. Also, although it's mentioned in book one that 'fang dies before Chass does, this isn't where that happens. Anyway, some not asked for spoilers. :P

What I really wanted to post about is the work on book three. As it stands, the publisher would have to charge $30 for the book to make up the cost difference between 100k words and close to 300k words. OR he could charge for three books at $9.99 each (like the first two books). This is part of why he pulled the "retraction" clause on my contract for the book. (Yes, technically, I'm no longer on contract for this book, but things were handled very professionally and kindly, so no hate mail to RPGames, please. The contract is in a kind of suspension, not cancelled yet).
Anyway, look at me rambling on as much as my publisher does. Yada yada yada. Look at me I'm the owner of Rossi Publishing Games and I.... probably shouldn't be making fun on him on a public forum.
I am curious if anyone out there has an opinion on how they'd like to see the next book(s). The cost to the reader is the same either way. I make the same either way. The publisher makes less because the overhead goes higher, but he seems ok with that. Would you rather buy one big book or a trilogy?
