Hello again guys. I've been holding off on doing this until the ebook release, but I've been thinking about the stuff you're about to read for awhile. Additionally, I've been going over the "What do you want to see in book 5?" thread for patrons only. This can be considered a second such thread, ...

Amazon Apocalypse 4 is out today!
Thank you guys for reading along with me as I wrote it. Maybe you guys will see something from one of your comments in the final book. You should be able to jump into book 5 even without reading the final version, but here it is if you're interested.

2025-01-10 17:48:25 +0000 UTC View PostKyrina escorted me back to the Samhain compound after I waved my goodbyes to Professor Verlin. Hopefully, I’d see him again because he’d been a massive help in preparing for a B-grade.
Pretty soon, Cyra and I were reunited again. It had only been a few days, and it shouldn’t have felt...
2025-01-08 16:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostHere's Carter's cheat sheet, as promised.
Note, he won't actually have the new skills listed here until he reaches B-Grade, but that's coming up soon.
Anyway, I gotta make one of these for the whole main cast, though the girls' will be shorter since I haven't gone into to...
2025-01-04 16:05:01 +0000 UTC View Post“As you can tell, I am a normal level ten wizard. Utterly unremarkable,” Ted began.
“I’m sure you’re remarkable in many ways, Ted,” I smiled in reply, doing my best to not make it look forced.
I was pretty sure I knew what this was. There was a small but rapidly diminishin...
2025-01-04 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostFirst up is Amazon Apocalypse 5, so I'm working on that. Right now, I'm aiming for a May release, but we're early enough in the process who knows?
My goal for this year is to step my game back up a little. Last year was a bit of a weak year for me, mostly because every book I published was ...

2025-01-04 03:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostNaturally, I woke up tied face-down to a bench.
I groaned. Not again.
“Hold on, I’m about to finish,” Kyrina said.
“Ow,” I grumbled. My shoulder hurt, but nowhere near as much as the pounding in my head.
I yawned, opened my eyes, and fought to keep from ...
2024-12-31 18:01:25 +0000 UTC View PostCyra seemed pretty nervous when I mentioned wanting to meet her family.
“A-are you sure?” Cyra asked.
“Yes, I’m sure. Aren’t I supposed to be the one nervous about this sort of thing?” I chuckled.
“But...” Cyra looked left and right. “They’re... nosy. They’...
2024-12-27 17:49:18 +0000 UTC View PostMy uniform was uncomfortably tight. The black and red colors with gold trim showed off the emblem of the Dragon Lodge’s armed forces. Until a few minutes ago, I was unaware they even had armed forces. Thanks to my recent victory in the tournament, I’d skipped about two dozen ranks and found m...
2024-12-23 16:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostI’m Carter, originally from Earth. I was born, raised, and grew up much like any other pre-integration Earthling, with one small exception. My childhood best friend was an Amazonian from another world, and she warned me of the coming apocalypse.
Thanks to her warning, I survived the end o...
2024-12-22 17:59:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhat do you guys want to see in Amazon Apocalypse book 5?
And yes, I'm finishing up book 4. The canon ending will be the rewrite ending, which is where we'll be starting book 5 (though I will tweak chapter 71 a bit more, since I know people didn't like the rewrite version of Myrina's fight....
2024-12-20 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: I accidentally posted the epilogue, so I'm posting everything I've got right now. I'm adding links to the end of all the rewrite chapters to avoid confusion on the order of chapters.
Cyra and I snuck out of the arena before the fight Myrina was tryin...
2024-12-17 18:40:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe Reluna POV chunk is the same. Scroll down to the other section if you want the new thing.
+++
Reluna poured over her latest talisman, ink-stained fingers whetting her brush for the final time. Her legs ached from sitting so long, but this talisman woul...
2024-12-17 18:38:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe first half of this chapter is an edited version of the old duel between Cyra and Carter. The second half is entirely new.
+++
“Hello, Cyra.” I waved to her.
The scene must have looked odd to the crowd. Her, battered and bloody, and me clean and looking fresh, now that I wa...
2024-12-17 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSome new stuff here, some old stuff. Most of the fight with Cyra is the same, but it's happening in the final match rather than the semifinals.
+++
The walk home was awkward until we found somewhere quiet to undo the slime keeping Myrina stuck to my chest. Afterwards, we took off our arm...
Note: This is completely new. This match between Carter and Myrina didn't exist in the original.
+++
The next morning saw the approach of the semifinals’ match. I’d hatched a plan the previous night to wear Myrina out before our battle, but I suspected My...
2024-12-15 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the new version of chapter 70.
There are only slight continuity edits, so you guys could skip this one if you don't want to reread. I've included a TLDR at the bottom for those of you who want to skip straight to completely new content starting next chapter....
2024-12-14 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostI will update the schedule soon, but basically we're on sporadic posting until I'm done with this stuff. Right now, there isn't much to post.

Kyrina sat in the Samhain family booth and watched as her daughter was defeated. Cyra losing wasn't something easy to watch, even if she knew what was happening.
The only thing that made it better was her other daughter sitting next to ...
2024-12-07 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI woke, yawned, stretched, and realized I couldn’t move. I looked down to find Cyra’s arms wrapped tightly around my chest. The tattered remains of the Lasso of Amazonian Binding lay nearby. While the magical rope had proved its worth on the battlefield, it wasn’t quite strong enough for us...
2024-12-06 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the match was called, I fed Cyra the most expensive health potion I had. It also had a mild sedative effect, since it was intended for treating people with severe wounds. I thought I’d bring it back to Crownhill for Doctor Roswell to use, but it was just what I needed here. Cyra star...
2024-12-04 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostI was pleasantly surprised to not be woken up in the middle of the night by a Samhain Clan ambush. I’d half expected it, but I’d been careful to remain well hidden after a few close calls, and my civilian identity was still fairly secret. Either that, or the Samhain family was more noble than...
2024-12-02 16:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostMyrina dominated her next match, and Cyra, of course, won hers easily. By now, Myrina and I were the only competitors left from the team event. Everyone else had come in through the invitationals.
This, I learned, was the expected result. Powerful people from humble backgrounds were rare, a...
2024-11-30 16:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe next few days were relatively uneventful. Sakura talked some sense into Patriarch Darkbinding, and between intimidation and the limitless pockets Sakura could wield thanks to consistent arena bets, things were going well for us.
Sakura was even able to pick up another shipment of goods ...
2024-11-29 16:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostMyrina ended up starting a massive brawl. I'd been too focused on Cyra to hear what she said or watch what she did, but she riled up the whole crowd, both highborn and low alike. Though the fighting started with her, the anger swiftly boiled over to something more all-encompassing, and soon all b...
2024-11-27 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostCompared to the semifinals, the grand finale match of the team brackets was a bit disappointing. The runner-up team was a group of five C-Grade wizards all hoping to put something nice on their applications to join the Dragon Lodge as graduate students. Truthfully, just getting second place in th...
2024-11-25 16:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post“On what world is kidnapping part of a lawyer’s job?” Sakura asked, eyebrows raised.
“I told you, Themyscira!” Myrina bounced giddily on her heels.
Her kidnapping victim let out a few muffled groans.
I glanced down at Myrina’s captive, the Patriarch of the Darkbindin...
2024-11-23 16:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the match, Ivanar and Agatha both eyed Myrina like she was a venomous snake. They’d known she was good from what they’d seen of her in the arena, but this was the first time she’d really shown off her full capabilities.
I just hoped most of the audience thought the spellblades s...
2024-11-22 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post“You want us to... what?” Larin asked, eyebrows stitched together.
We were back in her room, but we weren’t alone this time. We’d knocked on the nearby doors, gathering most of Team Seraphim together for one last team meeting. We were missing one member, but the others there were se...
