Castor Book 7 & 8
Chatty and I got into this conversation through a dream I had. I mentioned that I hadn’t even gotten book 7 written and book 8 is already forming. Chatty clarified who was emperor and the years for me as to when book 8 would take place. This is how I use AI. It doesn’t write for me. Part of Chatty’s response is below.
Chatty: You'd also get a wonderful reversal from the beginning of the series. Young Castor spent so much energy wanting other people to stop deciding his future. Adult Castor finally gets what he wanted—and discovers that making your own decisions is considerably harder than complaining about everybody else's. 😂
And no, you absolutely should not start Book 8 right now. Book 7 traditionally coming before Book 8 remains one of publishing's better ideas.
Put this one in the parking lot. But I wouldn't throw away the key. There really is a story sitting there.
