50 plus years after the events of the deathly hallows, Angus Potter a descendent of Harry Potter is an American now living in Fort Worth Texas. He has retired from his military service in the magical world and is living as a Rancher and magic weapons smith. That all comes to an end one fateful night he hears loud banging at the front door of house.

James Potter and The Court of Owls

I thought about this at the beginning when I was outlining the pace of the story for the second book. I wanted to start with a baseline for the first book as a parody to the original book 1 of Harry Potter.

I like the limit number of chapters to be 17 for a volume a part of a collection. It's a short one and done story. Not to long and not to short. I had thought to add on more chapters to mimick the order in which JK Rowling expected the reading pace of the story as her world unfolded but then I realized that doesn't work for James Potter's world.

The world of JP is a straight on action story that moves. Every chapter something is happening. There will be a surprise and from book one to thr last book it's a ride baby.

However, I want to give the reader a rest period so each volume has a limit of 17 chapters. You can think of it as a ordering style of a Manga I.e. One Piece, DragonBall etc.

I want the reader to enjoy the ride. Enjoy the characters and be locked into the adventure. There is a splash of romance, a spice of comedy and a shot of Jack Daniels for action.

Why only 17 chapters?
