Nota Bene: Patreon has broken italics, so I'm now denoting italics with an underline, my apologies for the inconvenience.

They come in the darkness and they carry us whither they will. Untamable. Unrelenting. Unreal? Night's mare is the mer...

Quick Note

Hi folks, I have only just discovered that Patreon's recent updates have utterly broken italics. This is, of course, a major problem for the Blade chapters as italics are the way I denote mind speech. I wanted to A) apologize for the inconvenience for you all, and B) check and see whether you jus...

No shit, there I was…

What are you is?

Day drinkers, I think.

Swine Prince bonus chapter for February

#Gnome Man's Land#

Hal couldn't help but notice how absolutely black it was in the cave, and how very painful. I've never been in a cave that hurt quite this much before, he thought as something like awareness slowly returned to him. A moment later, memory followed it. He'd been ou...

Wait, is that the sacred volcano of Lake Menomin?

What the hell is that?

Winter comes to Avalon.

It's no basis for a system of government.

Whispering Blade Chapter 14

The human soul is a maze full of dead ends, weird twists, black pits, and surprising turns. Just when you're pretty sure you know where you are and where you need to go, you find yourself at a sudden fork that you could never have seen ten steps back.

That's how ...

Mid-month Bonus Chapter of Swine Prince

#Just Deserts#

"Another sandstorm," Hal spat into the rising wind. "Just what we need. Thank you, Azifir."

Tasha raised an eyebrow at him as if to say, "What did you expect?"

"I know he's the god of sandstorms and all that," said Hal. "Teeth of the Desert, Scourge of the Unbelie...

Whispering Blade Chapter 13

#13#

We are all shadows on the cave wall—the dark and flawed outlines of our ideal selves—or so the philosophers say. I don't know if that's true, or if it's just a whimsy that caught my attention because of the framing device. I do know that my life has always been a g...

Ah man, it's empty

I have no clue how that could have happened.

He's lying!

Their reluctant guide led them down yet another long hall cut from the living rock to a small winding stairway. They took this down a flight and pushed through the door at the first landing. To no one's great surprise it opened into a stone hallway, this one whitewashed and rathe...

I am a story written in skin with ink distilled from the crushed seeds of choice and incident. In and of itself there is nothing about this that makes my tale different from a thousand and one of my fellows. It is only when you start to look at the specifics that you a...

The Next Swine Prince Bonus Chapter

#Underpriest under foot#

The guardroom held all the things one would expect to find in any dungeon guardroom—keys, whips, shackles, decks of cards, etc. It also held some things more specific to this particular dungeon. To whit, a number of large kegs full of resin or salt and a bucket fo...

Memory is a dream of the past, all blurred edges and yawning voids between moments of clarity. We think we remember what occurred, but it's an illusion, sense made from a series of events that may or may not have happened in the way they play out before the mind's eye....
