[I am taking a 1-update hiatus purely because this chapter is 70-80,000 words long. It’s in two parts; read the Author’s Note at the end for details. I worked hard, so I rest…hard? Something like that.] (The Wind Runner, Book 10 of The Wandering Inn, is now available for pre-order on Audible and Kindle! The […]

[I am on break to finish writing Gravesong, Book 2! And for my usual break. I will be back hopefully mid-August. See Author’s Note for details.]     (My friend Quill has released a new book: The Novice, Book 1 of the Firebrand series! Check it out here!)   https://www.amazon.com/Firebrand-Novice-Adventure-D-Olesen-ebook/dp/B0BVC83PV7/   (Martel has only one […]

Here was the question, as Wall Lord Ilvriss dodged a chamberpot. They were raining down from Invrisil’s houses, and people were taking pot-shots from the balconies. “Go back to the south, Drakes!” “Eat shit, Wall Lord!” Their aim wasn’t the best in most cases, but there was always someone with a throwing Skill. Ilvriss was […]

Look and see. He blamed her for this, gave her credit for this even if she was not the catalyst. At this point, it was easier to say ‘Erin Solstice did it’. Otherwise, you’d simply have to admit the world could be magical, and you had no excuse for not seeking it out. In the […]

“Ancestors, it was all ever for me. I did it all for none but I.  Lift me not upon your wings. If you raise your tails, be it only to your back.  My sins were always only mine. Ancestors, look down on all the grief I’ve ever brought, the fire I breathed. It was always […]

The day after Colth and Pisces destroyed an entire caravan from Roshal, it seemed like everyone had heard of it. At least, in the Meeting of Tribes. Gnolls talked and listened. Even if it was a ‘secret’, keeping stuff like the Earther tent hidden was hard when everyone had the ability to hear someone talk […]

“I hear that The Wandering Inn has a beach. We should go there.” A half-Elf sitting on a rock, watching the snow fall, said that. It kept falling, even now, turning the world into a second sea. It seemed like nothing and no one could live here, yet improbably, a bunch of furry folk had […]

[I am taking my monthly writing break until the 27th! I’ll be working on a special advance-chapter, and so this is the last chapter you’ll see until then. Thanks, and hope you enjoyed the daily-chapter event!]   (Trevor Melanson has released a new series: Sailor’s Rise, on Royalroad! Give it a look here!)     […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     “Beach. Beach. Beaaaaaaaaach…” At this point, it was growing concerning. Nanette and Mrsha came down with two new tools for their ongoing fun. They’d made—with Kevin’s help—two […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     “I hear The Wandering Inn has a beach. We should go visit it.” Such innocuous words caused the Minister of Defense to lock herself in an outhouse […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     The beach never ended. Three days and the beach endured. Oh, there were challenges. Late night beach sex. Trash that people left around. People banging on the […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     Persua Mavva finally reached Invrisil and hesitated at the door to The Wandering Inn. It was as cold as anything, and when she was able to transit […]

(I am releasing a chapter a day rather than one every 3-4 days. Make sure you’re on the right one and you haven’t missed one! –pirateaba)     That beach. That damn beach. “What kind of an [Innkeeper] has a beach in their inn? What is a beach? Damn her!” The Wandering Inn ate business […]

A week passed in the winter like a flurry of snow. Ser Normen and the Order of the Solstice, the downfall of Elia Arcsinger, Halrac the Grim. These things took Izril by storm—then the continent was busy talking about a duel between two caravans from the House of El and the City of Zeres that […]

(MelasD, a fellow author and reader of The Wandering Inn, has released a webcomic for their story, Salvos! A webcomic for a web serial? Sounds like a good idea.

(I am on break for the month of May to write a novel. Check the next post or Author’s Note for details.)   [The Tears of Liscor is out on Audible. Order it here!]   <The store has also launched a series of keychains! Check them out here! There is also a giveaway by Podium […]

(I am taking a break until April 29th! I will be resting and writing a bit of Gravesong, Book 2 during the later bit.)     The [World’s Eye Theatre] was awash with tears. Awash with tears. The audience would have gotten up and applauded if they weren’t so busy wiping at their eyes. They […]
