So, there's been some activity at the writing ranch.

We've decided that Book 1 (dealing with William's parents) is really a prequel. Calling it book 1 is misleading, as readers who would like to read the novels in sequence, will wait for it, expecting that it should be read first.

Au contraire.

Hence, the currently released book is now 1, to be followed soon by 2 and then 3.

The prequel will come along in good time
