Chapter Eight
I got a late start this morning, so I couldn't complete chapter 8. I had to fix the lights on my trailer, and clean the leaves off of the roof of the house. I plan on finishing the chapter before the end of the day. My wife gave me some valuable input for chapter seven, so I went back and added some pertinent information. She reads each chapter as I write it, and helps me when I need it. She is literally my inspiration for this series. Last year I was telling her about my idea for a story and she convinced me to start writing it. In a way, I am lucky, because I have one fan to write for. Even if I don't sell a single book, I still have a reason to write.

Chapter Six
I began chapter six today. We'll see how our Plainsmen stand up to the ferocious kingsmen. At my wife's request, I have started a new page on this blog to tell some of the backstory. She wants to know more about Levin's father, so I will start there. Also, to any writers who read this blog, I would be happy to share any information with you, so feel free to ask. Writing is so much fun, and I would like to help anyone who needs it.
