And the wheel just keeps on turning
Finished a quick rewrite very late yesterday on the last Hollows book–not the one that comes out in Feb 2014, ( THE UNDEAD POOL) but the one that comes out early 2015. OMGosh, I cried, not because it was over, or that I was sad, but that it was the end of a ten year journey for me, and the way it evolved and finished felt satisfying. Just really good.
Ah, I’m not saying the manuscript is perfect, because even as I print it out to send it to my publisher, I see things I want to change, but there’s a real temptation to just throw crap on the page to finish out a contract, and what I came up with felt real, solid, and part of the story. Needed.
Can’t wait for you to see it.

I'm probably going to have a wee ugly cry session when I read the last book. I'm always irrationally sad to see the end of a series, especially an awesome series like yours. Starting to feel a little melancholic just thinking about it... :P

You'll be having a lot of die-hard fans follow you there. I've been very happy to follow Ms. Morgan through her leveling up, but I'm also very curious to see where you turn next. :) Thank you for everything you've done. :)

And thank you for trusting the storyteller. I truly appreciate it.
While I’m absolutely gutted that The Hollows series is ending, I’ve always found it better when any creator (Books, TV...) has a definite ending in mind. Ties it all up neatly.Can't wait to see what works come next :)

I agree. And the fewer cooks in the kitchen make for a better soup.
I hope you keep writing in the Hollows world. I have loved this series especially the fairies. At 39 years old I still play Dungeons and Dragons (gasp) and played a character inspired by Jenks. Please keep up the great work!

I can hardly stand not talking about it. :-) And then you might have a new character to be inspired by.

I'm looking forward to see where you take us.
It's a double edge sword for me. I stumbled upon your writing and beautiful/crazy world filled with supernatural creatures and have fallen in love!!! I can't wait for the last two books but it will be sad when its over. I agree with Danielle though, when a writer/creator ends a series or television show in their own way it gives everyone closure rather then being dragged along for stories that don't have the same passion or cutting a show short which leaves everyone hanging.You are an amazing writer and I can't wait to see what you come up with next :D
Thanks, Meredith. I'm so glad you're enjoying the story. :-) I think you'll like what's coming up.
10 years is really a long time invested in any project. It is not over jet for us readers but I do agree with everyone above that the best thing when there is a closure. Thank you Kim for a great series!

I can't even imagine the series ending. When I am reading one it feels like family. Kim, you are an awesome writing and I can't wait to see what comes next!
