update

Hi everyone. I have spent the last few days mulling over the pros and cons of making book three into two books, and with the help of my editor, David, I've finally come to a decision.
I have just decided to finish book three of my own saga at approx 106K words, and leave the rest for a fourth book, as otherwise it would be just too big a book at well over 200K words. The book is finishing in a suitable spot and I am sure the readers will be happy with the storyline, even though its slightly smaller than the previous two books. It ends with three great final scenes and I hope people will undertsand that it is the most logical choice. It will also mean that the wait for the next part in the overall storyline will be sooner rather than later, perhaps before the summer is over, if I can get the final bits done and get the proofreading and editing completed in time. I had always wondered whether I could fit it all into one book or whether it would need two more books to do the story justice. If I didn't stop at this point, I would probably feel compelled to cut the second half of this particular storyline short and that wouldn't do the overall Saga justice.
So I now need to decide whether to make The Black Knight of Crom Cruach into The Black Knight of Crom Cruach (Part one, and Part two,) or whether to have a completely different name for book four. But that's another days work. I will focus on making Book Three an awesom read and leave that decision until after that has been completed.

Regards and thank you all again for your feedback.
