FOR THE AFTERWORD
“I’m thinking I’ll end the story after five books.”
It’s been over five years since I said that to my editor right after Book 1 was released, and here we are at Book 14.
Quite a bit has changed over that span. There are now eight professional Shogi titles for men and women, and COVID-19 has made masks the norm for matches.
I based The Ryuo’s Work Is Never Done! on real events that took place in the Shogi world.
However, as things that I never thought possible occurred in real life, I have had to make several adjustments along the way. The icing on the cake is that reality seems so much more interesting and I’m not sure I can compete ……
Yes, a lot has changed over these past five years.
That being said …… I’m still writing the story I want to write five years after I started, including the last scene.
I had given up on ever being able to write it, so I’ll never forget how happy I am to include it at the end of this series. I won’t be taking my foot off the gas until the very last word!
