Lots going on, and we learn more about Owen's past and Rob's mysterious involvement!

Edits of previous chapters AND Chapter 16 Live!

 Chapter 16 is now live! Read Chapter 16 Here

 Additionally, edits have been made to all previous chapters to better match the Royal Road releases (which have had the proper formatting edits they've been sorely missing due to my traveling status!)

 If you haven't had a chance, I highly suggest re-reading from the beginning, if able. 
thank you much!!

Late release of Chapter 16 and some edits!

Further updates (hopefully) by later tonight for Chapter 16! If not, they'll be up by tomorrow (along with the Royal Road release).

Today will be a slightly delayed release of Chapter 16 as I work toward cleaning up the blog-chapters on the Tales of the Spire blog. With these changes come a number of typo edits, and clean-ups with a few minor clarifications I hope will more closely match my intention for the scenes.

If you've been interested in where the story is going, but ran into a few too many typos (particularly near chapter 4-5) many...MANY apologies, and I hope you might take a few moments to reread once I've had a chance to update the chapters with the new edits.

Additional Author note:
The original release of Tales of the Spire: Price Check was intended as a personal experiment to see where and how I could change or adapt certain processes to work for a live launch. In addition to being the first time I've had my work posted anywhere online independently. it was also my first foray into active chapter development on a story which had been planned but not put through a number of editing passes and reading phases.

In short: I really apologize to anyone who's had to suffer through the mixed experience the scheduled release mods has caused. I ended up having to travel much more than originally anticipated, which affected the overall process, but I am highly appreciative of some of the input and time people have put into helping me get things in order!

I'd like to thank everyone for their patience!

Chapter 15 Live!

Whew! This one was a doozy.
I was finally able to sit down and finish some uploading, apologies for any formatting or editing errors (still traveling!)

This time we see Rob and Owen's relationship in a new light.
What will be the mystery of Owen's CCN? Only time will tell.

Enjoy!
