After nearly three weeks of writing chapter 3.1 of Wildfire - Lighting the Flame is up and ready for viewing.

I really hope you, my four readers, like the way it's going.

Hi chaps!

I've been asked today by a reader - not for the first time - what is the right order to read The Wilyverse in? Well, I thought that was a good question, so to answer it, here is the definitive list, in order from top to bottom, of The Wilyverse stories.

The Mare Before The Nightmare
The Best Night Ever
Light Shines In The Night
The Dawn of Dusk
Las Pegasus Prank
Wildfire: Lighting the Flame
Pony Pet Playdate
One For The Picture Book
I Might Call You Back

Yes!

You heard it right!

You, those four that are tracking this story, yes! within a few days - maybe three or four - Chapter twelve of Wildfire's story will be published for your reading pleasure.

How has Wily settled into the care home?
Are her friends looking for her?
Have they forgiven Air Raid?

Wait and see, for all shall be revealed, plus a little more.

As we speak, South East Australia is currently suffering from some of the biggest wildfires in modern history, thanks to a combination of strong wind and extreme temperatures reaching 40C. An area around twice the size of Belgium has burned. Hundreds have lost their homes, firefighters are collapsing and nearly 500 million animals are dead.

Hey chaps and chapesses!

It's been bought to my attention by a Wilyverse follower - no names mentioned - that in that reader's opinion my chapters are too long and I quote, "went on forever".

I wondered what the general consensus among the wider Wilyverse was on this? I'm genuinely interested in what the 32 members of the Wilyverse Fan Club think on this.

So...

Friday the 16th June, in five days, Wildfire 3: The Flame Renewed will be complete. I'll be publishing the twelfth and final chapter in the morning, no later than 8.30am GMT.

It's been a journey and a half, to be sure, and I can't believe this part of the Wilyverse is almost over. I truly hope you, my readers and my friends, have enjoyed making this journey with us.

As a present to ourselves, and to our AWESOMES readers out there, here's a sneaky peek into the future of the Wilyverse.

Happy Birthday Wily, and here's to another two years!

Hi,

This is a blog in response to a few - more than a few - pm's and comments I've received from people that have (and some that haven't) read my Wildfire stories, Lighting the Flame and Releasing the Flame, respectively.

The recurring comment I keep getting is this, or similar, "Will Wildfire get her eyes back?"

By now you should have already seen my report from the Camp Fire. This isn't that. There, I tried to put the disaster in its larger context. Here, I just want to offer little snatches of experiences from my seven days in the dead zone.

At last, after 1(0,000) years, I’m free!
Righteousness and superior horseword output have triumphed, and Rider on the Storm lies complete at my digital feet!
And like the titular character, I had a fantastic time writing it.
Now I’d like to take a minute, so just sit right there,
And I’ll tell you a few little behind-the-scenes diddies about how this story was made.
