The manuscript for Changeling, Book One of the Fey Touched Trilogy, is complete at 108,623 words. I started working on Changeling in July of 2021. I wrote up to chapter 16, which was about 30,000 words and then stalled.

Booker all but demanded, and Lizzy watched the headmaster raise his eyebrows. "Of course, Master Reed." "Good," Booker said simply, before turning back around, placing a hand on Lizzy's elbow and marching them both out of the office without another word.
