I didn’t go out the next night. The Protectorate would almost certainly be looking for whoever had brought Sophia to justice.
And I couldn’t be certain I hadn’t left something behind. I didn’t think so, but the Protectorate had decades' worth of experience.
The next day, howev...

2023-04-11 07:29:29 +0000 UTC View PostIt was going to be unlocked at 12:01 AM Monday, but I may not be around, and so to keep all posts synchronized, I'm gonna release it 12 hours early. Consider it a gift from the Easter Bunny.
2023-04-09 19:47:29 +0000 UTC View PostAt home, I just sat for a few minutes. Thinking. My spiders were working, around me bugs were flying in complex patterns. But I wasn’t moving. For a moment, I had a terrible thought. Wherever Sophia lived, there were black widows. If one just happened to… bite her while she slept, over a vein...
2023-04-07 21:05:04 +0000 UTC View PostI'll be releasing chapter 4 to general audience and posting Chapter 5 today--I may not be able to get to the computer with my files on it tomorrow. So, happy Easter!
I got home just before curfew. Dad wasn’t there. Probably he’d be in by 10:30. But I had the recorder I’d retrieved from Blackwell’s office, and it was time to…
An hour later, Dad had come in, eaten dinner and gone to watch TV, and I was still working on my “homework” listenin...
2023-04-04 03:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostSunday passed all too quickly. I had some money, but not much.
I ruthlessly stomped on my sense of annoyance that so many businesses were cheapskates. For all they knew, I was setting them up for a swindle. But I had three hundred and fifty dollars— more money than I’d ever had, at leas...
2023-04-01 03:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostYes, an Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal, is a real thing, although not all states allow it. Why did Brian get it and Not Shadowstalker? 1. Brian wasn't brought in with attempted manslaughter. 2. Emily had a much better hold on him, bribing him with his sister's custody, which gives him ...
2023-03-31 03:51:32 +0000 UTC View Postnote, because I'm just starting this story, parts are moving fast and I didn't see any reason to keep people waiting. On average each week will have 1-2 chapters, and each chapter will be generally released 4 days later.

2023-03-31 03:49:29 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes I get stuff done a little faster, so rather than just wait, I'll put them out when ready. As always, if you don't want to or can't afford to have a membership, all fanfic will be fully available four days after the chapter drops.
With thanks to Wildbow, who owns Worm and Without w...
2023-03-30 03:37:58 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t go to bed until late that night. It was as if a switch had been thrown, and I wanted to hit myself. I wasn’t strong—well, I was stronger than I had been, but I wasn’t bulletproof either, and all the armor in the world wouldn’t stop a big enough gun. And I had been planning to...

Well, I could clean the fruit juice out of my backpack. At least my school books were protected, since I’d put them in plastic bags, but the handouts were ruined. I glanced over at the little spot I’d ma...
2023-03-27 19:04:13 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to start posting early access chapters of my newest fanfic, "The Web of the Weaver" here, few dayishes in advance of their release on SB. Note that these are only early access--if you wanna wait, they'll always be up on Spacebattles, God and the Weather willing. The prologue will be ava...

Prelim cover for a book coming out relatively soon for another subject. Also, hope you all liked the last free ebook for the 5 dollar tier--if anyone had problems downloading it, let mek now.
2023-02-07 01:15:39 +0000 UTC View PostFor the five dollar tier. If you're thinking of upping just to get this, don't worry, it'll be out on smashwords and amazon in the next few days for 2.99, so no sense spending more money (unless you really want to). And yes, we're gonna try to be a little faster going into 2023.

2023-01-04 10:21:32 +0000 UTC View PostYou know when you get a new computer, and you think you updated everything you needed and then... yeah.

2022-12-02 21:42:11 +0000 UTC View PostLast time I said: maybe things are going to be better this month, I tempted fate. Since then, the computer died, a friend had a stroke, and I needed to be vaccinated for rabies. Got a few more things coming up soon, but I'm not tempting fate anymore.
This month hasn't been the best, but hopefully things will get better. OTH, I'v been working with my new stable diffusion set up to generate cheaper covers and rpg art, and it's looking nice.
Albeit not nearly close to what a human can do. The big people it's gonna hurt are the clip a...
2022-10-28 22:34:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo, for the pre-editing files I'm putting up, before the final layout and such, would you prefer them as google docs or pdfs?
2022-09-29 06:52:06 +0000 UTC View PostWell, here we are with Neverland, part I. It's a preview of an upcoming fantasy setting, which will probably start out systemless with cheap art. All of the previews will be here, and we'll include the final product at the 5.00 tier for free or you can grab it on Drive thru.

2022-09-24 01:01:46 +0000 UTC View PostWell, my newest book is up. It can be bought for .99 cents, or if you have a KU subscription, read for free! Ever wonder what types of tech can help you after you got hit by truck-kun? Well, starting with canning, this series is going to show you!
A systemless setting of a forest island with a dark secret. Come to Neverland and explore the lost temples and deep valleys, but there are lost boys and lost girls here, and memories of an ancient crime and the terrible price paid for it.
Come to Neverland. Just remember--it can...

Still working on it, I'm not satisfied with the color or the book one subtitle. But I'll see how things do.

We all have some issues with money, as in artist are expensive, and I've been playing with midjourney's free plan. Probably gonna subscribe to it, because while it still has problems with actual characters, man some of the backgrounds you can get are great.
2022-09-06 01:57:22 +0000 UTC View PostWell, here we are. Book II is up! This month was, ah, special... so hopefully things will be going faster after this.
This has not been the best week, but hopefully the preview copy will be out in the next few days and then the final copy, before the end of the month. Crossed fingers.
