August 2021 Update: Into the Storm of Swords

Hello! And welcome to the NotAUpdate ... update! Well, it's been a minute, hasn't it? Back in April, we finished A Clash of Kings, and then Jeff (I, me) had to take some time off for work. But now that things have settled down, we are back baby. Back to A Storm of Swords. We start it off just right with, uh, the apocalypse. 

Folks, we are, how do I put this, SO FREAKING EXCITED TO BE STARTING A STORM OF SWORDS! Thank you to all of you for supporting us -- many of you for years now! You're awesome. Thank you. A Storm of Swords: that's a book, ain't it? Let's get it,

THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR PATRONS
