Comment on A Beginner’s Guide to Drucraft #47: Sigl Fashion (Hands/Arms) by Remy
In reply to Jonathan.
Great idea! I worry a lot about Stephen getting into a situation where he is backed into a corner and has his sigls confiscated.. Imagine if he is injured additionally!

Very pleased to hear that the edits are almost done, and glad that (I’m assuming now) that they didn’t impact any of the prose that exists in the current Book#5 draft.
I trust that Book#5 is still “on schedule” for completion in the autumn?

Unfortunately, when I’m writing the first draft, I don’t know WHICH bits are the ones I’ll have to change afterwards.

This is kind of like Coding, where you have to change ALL the references to a certain bit of code. Do you write certain phrases in certain ways so they’re easier to find later when editing?

All your books (both Alex and Inheritance) are a great joy to read. All thanks to your thorough rewriting. Also I very much like the way you talk and discuss about the Drucraft on this website. Its strengths but also its limitations. Fantastic!

Agree with you about the drip feed of background during the year! Keeps me going during the long wait for the next book.
I dont think of Stephen as bodyguard, more reluctant part of house Ashford and hero on waiting? Im rather hoping that he gets afew happy interludes as the story progresses…
His family dont seem to be that great (expect Brigette?) suportive rather than caring/loving

Fair comment, just surpised that the thread from book#1 hasn’t developed…

I wonder the same thing. Healing sigls seem like good candidates.

Stupid thought, but I wonder if it is possible to.. surgically implant a sigl inside of you and still be able to use it?
It sounds like a good ace to have up in your sleeve as a last resort, albeit risky in other aspects? I am not sure if I understand how sigls prescisly work either. You have to channel personal essentia through them while they are also in close enough proximity to you, right?

Too much going on? He literally only has one paying job and that’s to watch over her…

This story is great in so many aspects, but as of now I struggle to see how romance can naturally fit in it. I get that Stephen’s young, but he has sooo much going on now!

The cover will probably be a bit delayed this time due to the slowness of the edits. Title should be relatively soon.

First I’ve heard of that! According to my publishers they’re still aiming for November 2026.

That’s wonderful news! A retailer’s website listed march 27th as the publishing date for book 4 so that had me a little worried for a moment.

Love the books, but I have to absolutely agree with you on the last point, especially.

I think he also has one that he wears around his neck as a necklace.

It shouldn’t delay things. Book 4 is still on track to release this November, and Book 5 is currently on track to release a year after that.
