Season's greetings and a great upcoming year to you all, whenever you celebrate the transition.

  This chapter is to update you now that I have come off break.

  The uploads will resume with book 2 chapter 1 on the 9th of January, working on the backlog in the meantime.

  Over December, the details have been finalized, and I have signed a contract for the audio rights of books 1-3 of Trailblazers & Lunatics with Tantor Media. In the meantime, I will be using my advance to work with an editor and polish off the final novel version of this story alongside my uploads. The details for the audiobook production haven't been quite worked out yet, but it will be unabridged.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

  Patreon and Discord are half-built at the moment, but I will probably have them finished off by the 9th, so I will give you all an update in the author's notes of the chapter coming out on the 9th.

  I will not be posting the edited version of the novel on RR, as this is to remain posted as the web novel version, but I will be making the edited text available for purchase on Amazon to coincide with the audiobook release.

  Thank you all for not forgetting me and my story over the break, I hope to see you all at the start of book 2 if you can make it.
