Hello, and sorry. Book 3 will not be released in January.
Part of me wants to say that it should be released in February, but I'm honestly not sure even that will happen at this point, so, no official ETAs anymore until the book is ready to be released.
The book is (mostly) written, only part of the last chapter remaining, but I'm waiting for the editing and for the cover artist (which is the reason I slowed down, or I'd have finished by now).
On the editing front, it's going a bit slow, but mostly because English is not my main language and there are lots of stuff for the editor to correct.
On the cover front, sadly, the artist of the second book's cover isn't available. I commissioned a cover from an artist I like, but I felt his work wasn't up to par. I'm now waiting for another artist to contact me so we can start on a new cover.
Sorry again, it was totally my fault for giving you hope when I shouldn't. I won't make the same mistake again.
