Eventually, Filled will be a book-length story. I still have to write another 15 or so chapters… and that will likely take me about a year to do. I’ve toyed with the idea of releasing the book one chapter at a time—which so many others do. But I don’t want the added stress of managing a growing reader base while also writing (and rewriting) and editing (and rewriting) another hundred-thousand words.
So if you liked or—dare I say?—loved this teaser, take a moment to visit, like, and follow the Western Wands page on Facebook:
I’ll keep fans up to date on how the book is progressing—while rolling out bonus material.
Also: Spread the word! More readers are always welcome.
Collaborations
You may notice that I’ve brushed up against some pretty sensitive topics in Filled—mostly surrounding the terrible treatment of marginalized groups in American (and Wizarding) history—but that I haven’t gone into too much detail. That’s because one of my larger goals is to find kindred Native, Chinese American, and Black voices who can take the little hooks I’ve provided and run with them. If you are such a writer—or know one!—please reach out to me via the Wester Wands Facebook page. I would love to see the sort of magic we could make together!
