Note from the Author:
To all of my wonderful readers of Cold in the Rain,
First of all I want to thank you all for reading the book, it was an absolute pleasure seeing how many people read the book and how well it was received, from the bottom of my heart a huge thank you to you all.
Considering this book was a sequel to one I had started over 10 years ago, I really had no idea how well it would go and, admittedly, I almost got to the stage where I didn't write it at all, for fear of how it would be received and of course with the knowledge that most times anything has a sequel that sequel comes off worse than its predecessor. I am so happy to know this was not the case with this one.
So where to from here?:
I am very pleased to announce that there will be a 3rd book in the Fighting for no Reward series thanks to the overwhelming response I had not only for this book, but to the question of whether or not it should continue (again thank you). This book however will not be coming out for a little while as I take a short sabbatical from it. It will not be a long one, but just long enough to refresh my batteries so that I can come into the 3rd installment with fresh eyes and write a book worthy of the 3rd in its series.
So does this mean you will not write during this sabbatical?:
In short, no. I will be writing during my sabbatical, I just wont be writing the 3rd installment. Instead I will be going back to another series I had started writing about 8 years ago entitled: The Power of Three.
Yes like the title suggests it is based off the TV Show Charmed however as with my own spin, in my series the girls have now started passing away and (as I didn't include their children in the series) with no one left to take over the legacy, the elders need to find 3 new people to take over the battle for 'good'.
As I said I wrote this series starting 8 years ago and had 7 books published online (though not here) and was working on my 8th. Sadly the site to which I had published the book has since gone and therefore I lost everything with the exception of the first 2 which I had fortunately the sense to publish to another site.
So my plan for my sabbatical is to start writing the 3rd installment in that series, I hope you all enjoy it and can promise it will start to be uploaded soon.
What can I do while I wait for the first chapter?:
Well the good news is that I have found and published the first two books on this site! The first is the introduction of how the first three members were found and is called "The Power Of Three – A Destiny for something Special." The second book continues the journey and is called "The Power of Three- The Darklighter". I would recommend reading both of these first as they explain everything and bring you up to speed before I publish chapter one of book#3.
The first two books are of a very very short length, let alone the chapters which are also very short. But this is because of the fact that they were written long before Cold in the Rain, where I finally established a decent length. I want it known that book#3 for the Power of Three, will be of the length you expect of me (somewhere around the 2,500-4,000 word mark).
Until then I'd like to go on record thanking:
Once again I would be remiss if I didn't thank the fanfic website. Allowing me to have this platform to share my world of stories has given me the chance to get my books out there. I am indebted to you, thank you.
To lexi_charmed – Thank you for giving me the courage to come out and write cold in the rain. My fears held me back, your confidence gave me that opportunity to push through the fear. Thank you.
To mdexter2010 – My most consistent reader. Thank you for each and every one of your reviews. They always lit up my day and encouraged me through the week. I was so happy to see that there was someone out there who was able to be as into the book as I am as a writer. I can't thank you enough for your dedication.
To my mother Lian – Mum, thank you for your dedication to this book. Every time I handed you another published chapter I was filled with such joy knowing you would be reading it. I appreciate all of your feedback and love that you are coming on board for the 3rd installment. We will have a lot of fun collaborating together.
Finally again to my readers, you guys are simply the best people ever! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this book. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate every bit of feedback you all gave me.
So as we leave everyone for now I'll just take this final moment to once again say thank you and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about The Power Of Three!
Until we meet again for the next installment of Fighting for no reward,
Farewell my friends. Love and light,
Francois.T. xoxo.
