Hi guys,
It's with a mix of sadness, and relief, that I announce that With Tongues of Fire will be the final book in the Bonds of Fate Series.
Originally the plan was for the series to have 6 books, and the final book would be about Freddie and Renee. However I've gotten to a point where I feel like I no longer have a story to tell within this genre and even working on WTOF feels like I'm forcing a story which doesn't really need to be told as much as I WANT to tell it.
I would like to finish writing With Tongues, because I can't start something without finishing it... but I am very much looking forward to moving past werewolves as a genre and seeing where I end up. I think I have fantasy burnout, and I really need a break from (writing) the genre.
I thank you all for sticking with me this long, and I'm sorry for those of you that were looking forward to Renee's and Freddie's story... My mission when I write is always for representation, but I don't want that to be the only reason y'know? And I feel with the last couple books in the series, I've been trying to fit stories into the genre that might really work better on their own.
I will never stop writing for the curly haired, brown and black girls.. but I think we deserve more that Alpha werewolves right? I'm ready for CEO's, and bikers, and Greek gods and everything else. I want to give you guys that, so I hope you don't see this as me giving up, but rather moving on :)
P.S. Note to self, don't commit to a full ass series without extensively planning it first. Take things as they go and enjoy the journey.
Love you all, I hope you continue to stick with me on my writing journey!
Bernie :)
