Having Said That....

I am thinking that the anthology of short stories would work better for Book Two of the Chronicles of the Second Invasion, so that we see some of the nasty shit that goes on, and we aren't nailed to Hadri's cross.

"I just got some great news."
"You've gotten an offer for your book?"
"No, i just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance."
My insurace payment just went down to around 460 bucks every six months. VEEEEERY nice.

back to the matter at hand. I had planned on skipping some time, and was wondering how i could fit in Hadri and Chelsea's wedding while still skipping the time necessary.
Six Book Series, the Chronicles of the Second Invasion.
Book One: On Wings of Rage. Hadri's story until about a year after he graduates from quasar training(six months after the Clans invade).

Book Two: Anthology of Short Stories 1. Ties in a bunch of stories about how bad the clansmen really are, throws in a couple of great stories from before Hadri was born and the Braddesh Wars, up until a lot of shit durning the Second Clan War. here we see a couple of snippets of hadri and Obsidian Drake squadron, a couple of things that happen to them out of combat and in, plus stories of people you never meet again, or maybe do. If you read the next book without this one, you won't miss a lot of Hadri's story, but a lot of the things they'll alude to will be in this. Michael stories.

Book Three: Rites of Blood. Hadri's story as the clans beat the commonwealth, the resistance starts and shit hits the fan.

Book Four: Anthology of Short Stories 2. This deals with a lot of the things happening around the former commonwealth that hadri would have no way to know while the resistance is on. Michael stories, Hadri stories, throwbacks to other shit that happens while Rites of Blood is going on, shit like that. More stories on people you may never meet again, continuing stories of some you met in AoSS1, and other shite.

Book Five: Crimson Dawn. Hadri's story as the resistance comes to a close and the Commonwealth grabs back some of its territory. Hadri's story pretty much ends here.

Book Six: Anthology of Short Stories 3. This one deals mostly with the battles to liberate the former commonwealth systems. This also follows up on what the other survivors of the Chronicles are up to, primarily some of the surviving Drakes. This also brings the series to close with a couple of stories that deal with Hadri's children and grandchildren, and perhaps a lot of the rebuilding stories that have massive devastation, but people actually starting to make lives for each other again, and life going on.

The Michael Chronicles will fit in as books in the same universe, but not actual Chronicles books.
Chronicles of the Second Invasion: Michael Just, with the title after or before or something like that. something that will tie the two together on the cover

Other possible stories in the same universe. The Braddesh wars, dealing primarily with Joseph Killigan, and possibly some characters that have fallen so far on the wayside that I may have to pull out my old Macintosh to get at.

Now. I have other stories on the burners as well, some fantasy stuff, a couple of different stand alone things like that. I do believe if i get good enough at writing, and popular enough, this could be fairly lucrative.
