BELLOWS UPDATE

Clearly this needs to be said. I am aware that it's been exactly five months since I finished ID and you all are hungry for some news about the third book.

For the most part, you all have been patient and respectful and I am SO THANKFUL to have fans that are. However, some people have been asking about when the third one will be updated or begging me to being writing it. So this needs to be said and also because while the Author's Note at the end of ID provided some insight, it didn't really give details. So here we go.


FIRST OF ALL, the third book has no title, no cover, and no plan for it. I have a plot skeleton in my head but it's changed so much that nothing is set in stone.

So what can I tell you about the third book? Essentially nothing.

ALTHOUGH, leading up to said book will be a short story entitled HOWL. 

I was trying to find an ask where I had the description but it's buried so I'll just paste the blurb right here. It involves Nico (the cop) and Evanna (the last Keeper):

Nicolas Ortega’s charged with protection of the last Keeper instead of helping in the investigation of Bellows Academy and the disappearance of Muffy Reece. However, in Nico’s time spent protecting the Keeper and hiding the dark secrets of his past, he discovers nothing is as it seems.

Rafael Ortega killed his sister and turned his brother into a werewolf. ‘Dysfunctional’ doesn't even begin to describe his family. Raf has spent his whole life fighting for the wrong side, so when it comes to doing the right thing, will he redeem himself or is his soul too dark to save? 



I have literally ZERO idea when I'll write it, but hopefully when I'm done with WT I'll start a few short stories. Assuming I am also done with ASD.

SECOND OF ALL, I am planning on rewriting TNS.  I've decided to make TNS private and upload the new version in its place. What will I do first? Rewrite or write? I answered here

I'm leaning towards rewriting first.

I've had ideas. Basically the plot will stay the same  A FEW THINGS WILL CHANGE. Like names.

Mr. Siliver will become Mr. Stone

So Autumn Siliver >> Autumn Stone

I may change Fawn's name as well because why the fuck is she a deer.



So there you have it. 

If I have to give a rough estimate on when I'll start writing the third bellows book I'd say next summer but that's just a guess. It's all dependent on other stuff in my life but I will write this book.

  2. If you want to change it go ahead. But if you do, it should still be something unique and 'out there'. :)

  3. Only reason I would support a Muffy name change is because when I think muffy, I think stuck up rich snob. But that's my own personal take on it haha at least it's different from the names you see all the time.

    And as a Dyslexic that kept reading Silver instead of Siliver... I thank you :-p

    You know where to find me if you need to bounce ideas and what not off :D

    1. Idk if I'm going to change it man. I haven't gotten too much feedback. so we'll see

    2. Ultimately it's up to you. Maybe test out a few new names and see if any of them "feel" right. But it won't be the end of the world if you stick with the name as it is.

  4. In honest truth I hated the name "Muffy". So yes you should change the name. But something unique all the well.

    2. Thanks for your input. I've decided against it just so I won't confuse myself/anyone else in writing the third and the rewrite. So I'm just gonna leave it for now

  5. Muffy, sounds like a rich bitch or a dog name. I don't like it. I do have two suggestions on names, Winter or Sapphire. 2 and 4 are them. I wish you all the luck on rewriting TNS, Please once you are done, publish it.

    1. Winter and Sapphire are really not that much better. I've decided against changing her name for now but whatever.

      And I definitely will not publish these books but thanks for the support
