Hey everyone, my ever patient editor Boldish42 wrote up a SoL side story that I consider canon, so feel free to hop on over to life in phoenix roost.

enjoy!

Okay, i admit it, I am not the best when it comes to writing parties for a text only medium. Anything i put in feels clunky and just makes me want to get to the meat of the plot scenes. So if you guys have any requests for this party, Pinkie Loki interactions, a drinking game between conrad and RD, i don't know...

i already have the end of the chapter mostly done, but the party itself is annoying me with lack of quality.

I've noticed quite a few comments about people missing story updates and sequel postings, so i'm making this blog, and small lore Q&A to help those who missed it. (so there is enough substance to the chapter to keep the mods happy)

I'll be posting a bonus chapter in book 1 then moving up to Aegis of the Hive to answer a handful of lore questions that would not be spoilers up to that point. AKA, no questions on Twilight's co-pilot ruler in Of the Hive.

My story of Bonded by Fire should be done by the end of October. After that I will be writing a short interlude story between For the Hive and hive book 3. This will lead straight into one of the major plot points of book 3.

So expect hive book 3 to drop before Thanksgiving. See all you guys later!

Edit: this interlude short story will be written in first pov from aegis's perspective. Mostly so I can try something new.

It's taken a while, far more than i had hoped, but i finally got my new place in order and the internet back up today, so i'll be able to get back to writing and i'll try to have the latest chapter ready for editing by the 22nd.

Well the long wait for a new chapter has now become the short wait. With For the Hive complete, I've restarted work on Bonded by Fire, and i will continue this fic until its conclusion. However, there will be a bit of a delay since I'm moving out of California to the east coast. Work related stuff. And by move, i mean i have to drive across country because I'm a cliche starving artist.

But rest assured Alexia will find her story has a new chapter out maybe by mid-late September. maybe.

During my brainstorming session between my old editor, current editor, and cover artist, there's one idea that i can't seem to nail down as to how to approach it. As the title oh so subtlety alludes to, its about Twilight's first encounter with our feline newcomers.

A: Twilight is entirely ignorant of both sphinxes and humans upon the colonists being revealed and acts accordingly.

Those of you who follow my cover artist will probably remember this pic in their feed, but I feel that it should be up here a well.

Not so sure about all the hooks, but its a solid piece all the same. Sing your praises below.

Tulip has some interesting sketches of Arya in both forms. Take a look and say what you think. Remember, artists thrive on feedback as much as authors.
