Dear readers,

So I got your message. You want more of what I can give, based on what I've already given you. Again, I have to be disgustingly appreciative and say, I'm really quite glad that you lot like my story, The Fractured Vortex. It really has been a pleasure to write it.

However, I was going to leave it at that. I was prepared to give it up after its completion. To have it both wrapped up and open for further imagination at the same time. But I got your message.

You wanted more. And so, I have decided that I will give you what you're asking of me. The sequel. The Nightmare Child. It will be difficult now that there is some sort of expectation to at least be on par with my previous story, plus, I made a bloody tough premise, but I will endeavour.

So look out for it. I will continue with the format or method or whatever it is called of how I wrote and posted The Fractured Vortex. Approximately a chapter or two a month. I am busier than ever but this gives me just the right amount of time to churn out proper and satisfying chapters that's worth waiting a short while for.

But that's not all! The Nightmare Child won't be the end of the story at all. I've planned it - well it's a thing, respect the thing – and I've decided it's going to be a trilogy of a…thing.

We already have the first part of the trilogy, "The Fractured Vortex."

The second is "The Nightmare Child" and is now being written and put up bit by bit over the coming weeks/months.

The finale, the story to end all stories and in the darkness bind them, will follow immediately after. It is called, "Eternity's End".

You wanted more, and I will give you more. And trust me, you won't want to miss any of it. It's going to be fantastic!

Yours truly once again,
