For context, this is a real conversation edited to keep names anonymous in my work Discord two days ago. It was about the Huntsong editing and uh…I’ll let it speak for itself. I’ve cut the part where I worried and stressed for days about how much time I had. I did think my Assistant and […]

Blog #1 — Of Angels: Grace and Work
I swore that I would write a blog post despite knowing full well that most readers do not necessarily want to read what is essentially Author’s Notes in a more engaging form. Some do. What’s my % of people who’d read this instead of my chapters? 10%? 30%? I doubt the enjoyment is at the […]

[We have a new shirt featuring the Horns of Hammerad on the merch store! Check it out here!] It was possibly the longest day in the history of ever, this Christmas. It was barely 3 PM, and it felt, to some, like an entire week had passed. That was because—while the adults had […]

[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 […]
No Chapter on the 26th!
August 26, 2023
Blame weather for this one. I was literally mid-stream working on the chapter back when a storm blew through and blasted my power out. For two days. I have JUST gotten power back and been tossing all my perishables and as you might imagine, during my two days without power I couldn’t write or access […]
Warsong Update
August 15, 2023
I am done. Gravesong, Book 2, has been written. The third arc, Warsong, is done. Actually, I’m changing the name to Thronesong. So you’re getting revisions even now. Speaking of which, I have finished a Draft 1, and it’s…rougher. It’s still hopefully good enough to be the bones of the finished novel, but it’s still […]
Writing Update – Warsong
August 2, 2023
I am back with an update on my progress throughout the month of July! To begin with, here is something I am bad at: math. 49500 + 16600 + 17700 = 83,800 words I have written so far. 49500 + 16600 + 41300 = 107,400 the current length of Warsong, pt. 3 of Gravesong […]

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 […]
