It has started! The first 4 chapters of The Affinity Collector 2 are now up :)

I'm always a little slow getting chapters written when I start a new book, at least for continuing series, as I get used to the world again, but hopefully next week will have an increase in my output. I have a ...

Jeremy finally had to use his Abilities against the [Burning Goblins] in the next route, which were 4-foot-tall humanoid-looking monsters with reddish-colored thick skin and burning, rusty metal swords that looked like they could actually hurt him if they managed to make contact...

While he didn’t have a perfect view of the safe zone from his now-camouflaged hollow, if he moved to the edge of where his new enchantment was hiding him, he could somewhat see into the area – even if he wasn’t quite close enough to see or hear them clearly.  What he ...

Cleaning up the last of the blood near the Rift entrance, Jeremy made a deliberate decision to avoid the safe area as much as possible from that point on.  Not because he didn’t believe in being safe, but because the risk of someone else coming into the Rift and finding h...

“Sadia?  Are you back yet?”

Thaden rubbed at his eyes, wiping the sleep out of them before he stretched his arms above his head, feeling pleasantly rested for the first time in what felt like years.  He opened his eyes, hoping to see his squirrel companion n...

Thaden felt like a mountain was sitting on his back, keeping him squished against the dirt of the hole he’d found himself in not too long before.  Unable to see anything going on around him, he slowly crawled up the side of the hole, the effort involved just as colossal ...

The Human was insane.  

At least, that was what she thought when he said he was going out in the middle of the fight with only a few Fighters to keep him safe.  Now, though, Bat’la’hera had to admit that he was much stronger than she expected – impossibly ...

It didn’t take long before Thaden’s army of minions topped 50, and fairly soon after that it hit 100.  Because they were fairly even Level with him, there was no strain on his mind controlling that many, in addition to his Mentality being higher than it was the last ti...

Stepping up to the edge of the wall, Thaden strained to make out what was coming toward the city.  Once they were less than a mile away, he could finally make out the individual monsters that were running at full speed, strangely organized so that they were like an unstopp...

Only 1 chapter today, as the next one is longer than I expected it to be! Next week, I'm expecting to finish the book by Friday, and I don't have any other plans but to write :)

An additional 300 points or so in his Celerity stat, which practically tripled what he had before he’d gone through his last round of messages, made a huge difference in how fast Thaden could move.  Of course, he couldn’t simply run down Glory’s Passage with abandon,...
