NOTICE: 10/4/14: THE ALBUS POTTER SERIES IS COMPLETE!!!!

BOOK 7 IS NOW AVAILABLE TO READ BELOW!!!!

After a nearly three year hiatus, Albus Potter and the War Within is here! For those of you unaware, a video was posted in February 2014 detailing the issues with the book and promising a rededication to the conclusion of the series. I am very pleased to say that the endeavor has been a success, and that the 7th and final entry of the series is now available, in it's entirety!

I know that many have lost interest in the series, and rightfully so, but it is my hope that those of you who still wish to see the end of it will find great joy and closure in the finale. The amount of support that I have received since the initial announcement has been tremendous, and I cannot possibly express here just how thankful I am for the continued patience and readership of so many--the book itself will have to serve this purpose in my stead.

It has been the greatest pleasure of my life to take part in this community and to have you all as my readers; I hope that the seventh and final installment of this series demonstrates to you all just how true this is.

Best wishes to all and their loved ones, and I hope you all enjoy the finale,

-Vekin87

NOTICE: 2/13/14

The status of the series has been updated. It's been a long while, and there's a lot to explain, so I've made a youtube video for it:

If you know anyone who's given up on the series, please pass this around to them. I want as many of my readers to see this as possible. It's long, but the gist of it can be picked up in the last 5 minutes or so.

Hope you're all doing well,

-Kev

For anyone interested in learning a little about me, there are some details provided below:

Name: Kevin M.

Ethnicity: White

Location: Pennsylvania

Current age: 23

Religion/Beliefs: Though I don't particularly subscribe myself to any one religious belief, I do consider myself pro-religion, and enjoy the writings and significance of many of the world religions I have become acquainted with; while Christianity is probably most prominent among these (or at least, certain sects of it), I also find great joy in learning of more Eastern religions, and even components of classical mythology. As for my beliefs on the Universe/god/etc., they vary from time to time, and in general I find myself merely humbled by nature and the harmony of our magnificent universe--and I'm always eager to learn more about it!

Hobbies: Reading and writing, first and foremost. In addition to the Albus Potter series, I write short stories, poems, and even original novels (which I have yet to really distribute--perhaps one day, though!) I also enjoy playing guitar, and have done so for several years now. I'm moderately athletic, but only really play basketball. I also have an extreme envy for anyone who can sing or draw, which I believe are among the most amazing abilities in the world. Additionally, I am an avid videogamer. Some of my favorite games series include Bioshock, Metal Gear, the original Playstation 1 Spyro the Dragon games, and, really, anything made by Naughty Dog. I understand the craze that is Call of Duty, but I am awful at it and this disassociate myself from it. I'm also better at Guitar Hero than anyone should legally be allowed to be.

Favorite Tv Shows: The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Breaking Bad, Death Note (actually informed of this little treat by someone who was comparing a character to one of mine, thanks for the info!), and Sons of Anarchy, among others. Also, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and it's sequel, the Legend of Korra; I don't care what anyone says, LoK is awesome!

Favorite music: I have a very eclectic taste that mostly ranges from classic rock to modern alternative. Some random favorites are Radical Face, Gorillaz, Led Zeppelin, Incubus, Florence the Machine, Pearl Jam, Nas, and Arcade Fire.

Favorite Movies: Way too many, I'll just list some randomly. The Crow, Blood Diamond, Liar Liar, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the Star Wars saga.

Favorite books: Harry Potter, obviously. I honestly think I could major in Harry Potter. I can recite the chapters for the all of the books in their chronological order, bar maybe a mistake or two in books 4 and 5. Other favorites include Holes by Louis Sachar, 1984 and Animal Farm (both by George Orwell), all of Khaled Hosseini's works, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, and The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R Martin. I'm also a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan; I've read just about all of his work (I've actually memorized a few of his poems -_-), and hes probably been my biggest influence for short stories and poetry.

Favorite foods: I'll throw out a relatively accurate statistic and say that about 80% of what you guys have read was written while I had a plate of pickles, a bowl of Ramen, or a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream right by my side. I LOVE eating, I think that food critics have the best job in the world.

As for personal life, I have a lovely girlfriend named Yelena, who I've been with for several (5? Something like that) years now .She created the aforementioned facebook page for me (under a fake profile) because she is extremely proud of my work and the attention it's received, and she is actually NOW UP TO BOOK 7 0.o

I also have an older brother, as many of you know, who provided grammatical and continuity edits for books 5-7. Fun fact: he also came up with the first names of a few minor characters, so if you're a Lance fan, you've got him to thank!

In terms of where I'd like to go, I currently attend a University, where I am majoring in Psychology. While I love writing and absolutely intend on continuing to do so with original work, Psychology really is quite a passion for me (in particular Social and Evolutionary Psychology, which I hope to one day teach) and it is in this area that I really aim to base my life around. That is NOT to say, however, that I do not still plan on sharing my work in the future; writing has great therapeutic value to me, and having heard from a good deal of you about the effect that this series has had on so many, I want nothing more than to be able to continue in this relationship!

I'd also just like to let everyone know how extremely important their readership is to me. I can not stress enough the impact it has on a writer to know that their work is appreciated, and to see how far some of you guys have come with me sometimes gives me chills. I can remember sitting down to write "The Sorting" at the age of 16, and thinking that I was going to abandon the book half way through, but it is YOUR readership that has supported me, and ultimately helped me to grow as a writer. Whether you've reviewed or not is entirely irrelevant, these are YOUR stories, and you should be every bit as proud of them as I am!

So that's me in a nutshell : )
