I start a chapter in Wolves of the Calla called "The Dogan, Part 1".
If I hadn't read all those Dark Tower comics earlier, I'd have no idea what was in store, but as I recall, a Dogan had something to do with the technology that powered Andy the android.

Roland is on to the traitor in their midst!
Roland and Eddie revisit the cave with Black Thirteen in their possession.
Eddie has a plan to return to New York and get that abandoned lot with the rose signed over to him.
It's a very weird plotline that doesn't gel well with the reality of the Wolves coming to take the Calla's children.

And on that cliffhanger, I stop reading for the day. I am now 73% of the way through Wolves of the Calla.
