Lightning
Ch8 - The Gift Horse

Trevor walked into a scene of morning chaos, at least as much as could be created by four people in a large warehouse full of dubious equipment.
Lightning - 7 - Vision Thing
You can tell I sometimes name stories after songs, right? Right? Anyway, here we have Trevor's secret getting out. He's not very good at keeping secrets. Plus, some foreshadowing for what will happen next with him and Fitch.
Also! I have completed "Book 1" of Lightning! I have compl...

It's been a while since I posted something. I had intended to post up a piece of "Lightning" about every week or every two weeks. I have been lightly editing them, reading through and trying to fix up consistency problems pointed out by one of my alpha readers, fixing typos, etc.

Lightning - Ch0 - Prologue
The beginning opening to "Lightning" which I wrote several years ago, and which re-inspired me to crank out more than "The Hobbit"'s worth of words earlier this year!
Two important things:

Patrons, what works well for someone who's just going to serialize stories? Just one tier and one thing at a time? I had an idea to try having a tier for each of several serial stories I was working on, and that didn't work out so well. I don't really finish big sprawling things a lot, and tend t...

As usual, I have a few things I've been working on that I've been posting on here in various ways, and then all of a sudden I got into an enormous project by accident. Now I've written 140k words and there's no end in sight. I don't know what to do. Send help.
Anyway, I'm not sure how muc...
New Tier and Story: "Thrall of the Sea Wolf"
I'm now doing a new story called "Thrall of the Sea Wolf"! Wow, what's that about? Well, obviously someone who is enthralled by a wolf of some type and it obviously involves the sea so probably like boats and stuff... and smut, and humans and werewolves, and gear ...

Brutus and Steven go on a small adventure. This piece follows after the last of the "Rise of the Leatherwolf" stuff I'd posted a year or two or whatever ago. If you read these and feel a bit confused, that's actually intentional. I'm screwing around. A segment of my brain wants to do the "D...

I saw one of those signs on Etsy that said "Caution: Werewolf Breeding Zone". I first thought "is that where they breed werewolves? Or is that where the werewolves breed you?" Of course that's the point of the sign. Thus, a different take on Pt 1, more in line with the overall idea of this ...
