The Wrong Lance: Author’s Wrap Up
A quick overview of the author’s side of the process, and that wraps up this sweet halcyon time together. I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Filing under What I Tell You Three Times is True:
The Wrong Lance Project is now completed. The chapters will remain on Splinter Universe and on Patreon through September 11. After that date, the chapters will be taken down and gathered into the second Splinter Universe Presents chapbook. The plan is to make the chapbook available on October 27, concurrent with the mass market paperback release of Accepting the Lance, aka The Right Lance.
Remember that there is a Discussion Area for The Wrong Lance. Here’s the link.
And here! Is the link to the Author’s Afterword
