I love this story. This is my 5th time reading it now and damn if I couldn't do another 8 books. Hope your muses can assist my addiction for this world you've created.

Erm... Glad you enjoyed the series...
Don't think I have another 8 books worth of plots in me... at least not about this set of characters. But the Dugerraverse will definitely be back in some form. I already have two book outlines for different Dugerraverse novels.

Chapter 13 is devastatingly sad. Had me in tears several times.

Normally I would say that I'm glad you enjoyed the story, but... not sure if that's appropriate... 
So... I'm glad you connected with the story...

Maybe I should have added more in my comments so here goes. Loved all 8 books in the Woodward Academy Series. Slow start but soon had me hooked by the end of book 1. Loved the humor in the naming of some characters..."Eisenpatton"...these gave me a good chuckle. These books also made my cry in portions. Death of characters you grow fond of is always hard. I hope you continue to write.

Well, I'm glad you liked it as a whole, then.
As to the slow start, I kind of felt like he shouldn't be tasked with taking down major bad guys before he even had any real training.
(Not saying that some other, much more famous, books-long book series about wizards in training did that, or anything... 0 )

I'm lost, how is she greedy? Her dad was wealthy and she could have easily taken over the company if that was her passion. Instead, she married a COP. We all know how little cop's make.
What do you have to support that she is greedy?

I think he's probably referring more to greedy on a personal level, the whole thing with her relationship with David.
But I could be wrong.

Even then, I still don't agree. From what I recall she was more or less dependent on him on an emotional level after her husband died(completely blanking on his name), and that quickly transitioned into a love relationship and anything on that level tends to be 'greedy', you want your partner and want as much of them as possible.

I'm glad you enjoyed the series. Hopefully something else of my writing will also catch your interest, since the Dugerraverse is hibernating for the moment.

Just finished binge reading these books for the 3rd time. I still believe that it is your best work.

I'm glad you enjoy them. I should probably consider working on one of the two other Dugerraverse novels I have planned... though neither of them have anything to do with David or Woodward Academy.

I know it's not really your normal aspect of writing, but i'd be interested in reading something from the non human side of it. Somebody that of course goes against the normal flow of their society, elf, dwarf or maybe even go further to the land of the giants if you want to keep the MC a human in a very different environment.

I have a question I do not believe was addressed here previously. Let me start off by saying I understand you are the master of the story so my normal gotcha questions exist only as limp noodles. That said, in Book 8 when David and the gang are fighting demons, uh, where exactly did the demons come from? In this world, there is no Hell. Many philosophies believe that Demons were spawned in Hell to torture the poor souls who ate meat on Friday. According to the most common account among ancient Jews and Christians, demons were the postmortem spirits of long-deceased primordial giants, who had come about thanks to the illicit union between fallen angels and mortal women. Again, this took place in Hell and since there is no Hell here, I again ask, where did the demons come from?
I look forward to being schooled with your response. Thanks!

I thought it was stated in the last book quite a few times that demons are another type of fairy. Please correct me if I’m wrong Eric Storm, the demons that David and everyone were fighting are ultimately the fairy equivalent of the fae. Right?

Timberwolf is correct: In the Dugerraverse, a demon is just a specific class of fairy. And this was stated at least once or twice over the course of the books.
