I had to start all over again. My life was flipped upside down. I don't know why these people did what they did to me, but it nearly stopped my work on my books. As I was in the middle of the second book of my trilogy, the powers that be interrupted the progress--and I am sure that it was intentional.
The other day, a well-known actor sent me a DM on Twitter (regarding my other book, The Secret of the House of Bourbon), and I decided to take that moment and allow beta readers into the world of Middle Earth again.
Book II: The Saga of Thranduil was the first novel (but won't be the last) I happened to create two versions of after readers got upset about a particular scene involving his wife's first cousin (you have to read the book to find out what that was about). Either way, since everyone is about to read XIV, I decided to take that moment to allow readers to tell me what they think of The Saga of Thranduil as well.
