<Book 11, The Titan of Baleros is out now.> [The Wandering Inn is running the annual survey. Consider filling it out here.] (We are selling a poster of the Winter’s Eve Solstice artwork. Link is here.)         And then she woke up. It was pitch black when the young woman sat up […]

<Book 11, The Titan of Baleros is out now!>     One day before the Winter Solstice, now, and all the pieces were in a row. Did you see them? Were you even sitting at the board, or were you looking up and wondering if you could see the outlines of fingers against the sky? […]

The hour was coming, and they were still all moving towards their destination. Ships. People. Gods. Soldiers. The living and the dead, and the [Innkeeper] was counting, now, like a woman whispering numbers in a dark, swaying room, waiting for the door to open and a kind of reality to rush in. Sending messages out. […]

A [Witch of Second Chances] sat in her inn, and the night had settled early. It was barely 7, and the skies were dark; the Floodplains were draped in a cloth made of blackness. But fires lifted the darkness up, countless watchfires trying to defy the oppressive gloom and the shadows of the High Passes, […]

[MelasD is launching a Kickstarter for their book, Salvos! I am wishing them the best as one of the few authors I know! Check it out here!]     Then, as he caught his breath and felt the world moving with his arms and legs, he understood how to make the very earth his fist. […]

[Selkie Myth, author of Beneath the Dragoneye Moons has made an amazing collab between the characters of Beware of Chicken, Salvos, Melas, The Wandering inn, and his own story to celebrate Inktober! I know all the authors and encourage you to check out their stories if you ever run out of The Wandering Inn or […]

It might not look like much, a two-story mansion in Liscor. But that was because space was at a premium in a city like Liscor. Even with the new district, richness wasn’t just in having crystal-glass windows shining with magic like the Mage’s Guild. Richness was, as any city goer could tell you—space. The Watch […]

(I am on break until October 7th for Patreon readers! I will be finishing editing Gravesong 2, and I just need a slightly longer break. Thanks.) [Book 10 of The Wandering Inn, The Wind Runner, is out now! Get it here!]     Rain was falling. Not snow, from those skies. Nor were they grey […]

[There will be official TWI Mugs available soon! For the next three weeks to celebrate the release of Book 10: The Wind Runner, Podium Audio is hosting an exclusive giveaway for a limited edition mug.] [When you win you can curl up on a chair in front of the fire with a mug full of […]

[The site needs a part-time webmaster. Experience with WordPress is a plus but not mandatory. If you’re interested, please send a resume via email to assistant@localhost. Application period ends 22nd of September, 2023.]     Ballista. Based on the root Latin word of ballein, or ‘to throw’, at least on Earth. A huge, crossbow-shaped weapon […]

(Trigger Warning: See the link here for details.)   [We have a new shirt featuring the Horns of Hammerad on the merch store! Check it out here!]     After Christmas, there were six days until the Solstice. Whether you were counting on that exact date or not, there was an anticipation to this long […]

[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 […]

[I am on break to finish writing Gravesong, Book 2! And for my usual break. I will be back hopefully mid-August.

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 […]
