Battle Cry
Page 16
Much like Max, they stare on in muted silence, visibly trying to make sense of what they are seeing and hearing.
More prime examples of why he – and he alone – is best positioned to sit in the newly vacant top seat. Make the necessary decisions, acting whenever the situation calls for it.
“No,” Max eventually replies, his voice pulling Byrdie’s focus back his way. “Nothing yet, from anybody.”

Thank You
Hello again!
First and foremost, as always, I must say thank you. Not only for taking a chance on this particular work, but for following Kyle through what has now been well over a thousand pages…and by extension, for allowing me to embark on something so sprawling and ambitious.
When sitting down to write most novels, the first thing to be fleshed out is always the protagonist. That person that the reader will be riding shotgun alongside, getting a deep dive into their thoughts and motivations.
In this instance, I wanted to have that for sure, but I wanted to go deeper. I wanted the auxiliary characters to be more than just subsidiary, their own thoughts and motivations impacting events as they unfold.
To me, the only way to really do that was to take on something much more substantial in length. To really take things a piece at a time, seeing how everybody moves and reacts, each person playing off of one another.
My hope is that it is turning out as well as intended, and that you’ll be willing to come along a little further toward the conclusion.
As I mention each time, I welcome any thoughts you might have on the story. As the unsung lifeblood of this industry), I appreciate all feedback and thank everyone again that has been so kind in writing.
Thanks again, and – as always – happy reading!
Happy trails,
