Deadgold: Chapters 24-25
Probably audio release next weekend. Actually a little before, to properly work in the Audible schedule, but the weekend will be when I put in all my promotional efforts. Follow me there if you want it ASAP, or just wait for the announcement here.

Okay, at some point here we will have an audiobook release and I'll be exhausted, which will mean one skipped week. I can't promise the exact date, however, I can only say I'm doing my best to keep all the balls in the air.
Publishing is a funny business. I've spoken about my efforts to gai...

I have a surprise announcement for everyone: Travis Baldree is narrating Bloodcrete! From there it has to go through a few steps of proofing before release, but we're finally looking at an imminent audiobook launch instead of an unknown. More on this later. ^-^

Comments last week made me think that perhaps it would be helpful to link Fithan Geography 101 again. If you want to brush up on the various nations/factions or just get a broader understanding of Fithe, that's probab...

Welcome to 2026! You know what's not particularly great? Patreon has been consistently failing to send notifications when I receive comments for a few weeks now. I rely on those to catch comments, particularly ones on older posts. So if it seems like I'm ignoring you... I'm probably not. =/
2025 in Review
Most of this post will be my analysis of the year as well as extensive thoughts on the publishing industry, but first we have a lovely little uncomplicated section. The above is another imaginary scenario fanart commissioned by Argo the Ratfolk, which I hope you will all enjoy! It's not canon, bu...

Chapter 14
It took another week for the leaders of Norron to make arrangements, and since Theo had all his brute soulcrafting done, he was actually kind of impatient. He spent a while working on one of th...

The end of the year is barreling down on us, isn't it? The plan is to keep up the normal pace of chapters, but the last weekend December I'll do my 2025 in Review post instead. This one will be a little longer than most, detailing what I've done on side projects and how I see the industry as a wh...

With this set of chapters, we reach another inflection point in an arc that has been running throughout the series. Typically a main character should recover from setbacks within a chapter or two, if the author makes the foolish mistake of including setbacks at all, and should be infinitely more ...

Chapter 8
The war across the continent hadn't yet turned apocalyptic, which meant that there was time for soulcrafting. If Theo was honest with himself, that was what mattered most to him.
Not that he'd resented checking in with various contacts. A major reason for hi...

Mostly Ichil stuff this week as the book keeps gearing up. As I mentioned before this book started, this one tries to really show that the story spans the Nine Worlds, even if the main conflict is focused on just one.

I dislike release/promotional times, so having two in a row is unfortunate, especially when it feels like I'm trying to break down a brick wall with my forehead. That's just how the schedule fell out when also working with a publisher.
How did the launch of Depthless Hunger do? Difficult to...

Finally time to announce this. Not when I might have chosen on my own, since there's a lot going on, but this was the best time for Audible, so it's time for the big news I've been hinting!

The eleventh book in the series will continue the war with Tymetron, and I'm aiming to do something a little different with it: I want to do a logistics book. So many times the negotiations and organization are pushed to the background so that the main characters can fight some more guys. Well, I...
