I don't know if anyone here was waiting for this, but Tantor is going to publish the audiobook for Street Cultivation 2 this week! They tell me that I'll get some free codes, so I might be distributing them via various channels. Anybody here interested? Comment if you are and maybe I'll work some...
2020-07-25 19:13:42 +0000 UTC View PostBack to the Showdown, but this pair of chapters already gets us to the next major event. This sets off a sequence a few have been asking for, and an element I've intended to introduce ever since the first book, it just didn't make sense until now.

Chapter 23: Completing the ...
2020-07-18 19:53:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis week's chapters are early because I need to leave for much of the day. I will be back to respond to comments later.
There's a fun worldbuilding element in this next chapter that I've been wanting to introduce since the beginning. ^-^

2020-07-11 17:31:20 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time to introduce immortals! I've always thought it striking that this trope tends to exist in static worlds where there's limited social/political/technological change. Since Street Cultivation is all about doing things a little different by having one foot in reality, I tried to take a new...
2020-07-04 22:43:03 +0000 UTC View PostCouple of big chapters this week!

Chapter 17: Odiyu
The world twisted around him and Rick was briefly sick to his stomach, but his body remembered the strange transition. It was no longer as substantial as in the human realm, more like some kind of ...
2020-06-27 22:53:44 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone who helped make the AMA a success! This week we cover some training and move things along.

Chapter 15: Riding the Wave
The first time Rick took the Formula T, he was more than a little anxious. It started with a flow of strength t...

Chapter 13: Plasma Ants
Despite the dream, which Rick did his best to push aside, he woke up rested. He had so many memories of the specific techniques used in the defensive events that he actually struggled t...
2020-06-13 18:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 11: Juggling Training
The juggling thing was not a joke: when Rick was exhausted from all his physical and lucrim training, he picked up the rubber balls and learned how to juggle. Most of his routine was completely coherent, but not that.
Every mor...

Chapter 9: Preparations for Departure
The medical staff were extremely efficient assisting with Rick's injuries, but equally impersonal. He realized that they had to deal with countless fighters throughout the day and probably just wanted...
2020-05-30 20:04:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis week we have a mix of action and worldbuilding. I've wanted to get to some of this stuff for a while, but felt like it just wouldn't make sense for Rick to care about it while he has his eyes on immediate concerns. Though this won't be a politics book, if you want a taste of geopolitical luc...
2020-05-23 20:10:31 +0000 UTC View PostNo real notes this week, I guess. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 5: Perpetual Calculations
Though Rick technically continued his work at the Refuge, he wasn't nearly as thorough as before because he spent all his time in preparation. Not only training, but research. ...
2020-05-16 19:01:17 +0000 UTC View PostHere we go. ^-^

Chapter 3: Last Call
As Rick biked back to the Refuge, he felt as though he was on the precipice of something. Twice in his life, he'd taken a risk and soon regretted it. Both of those times, he'd come out of the fires stronger, but ...
2020-05-09 19:40:41 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the last oddly sized chapter. After this, double chapters every week! There's a lot to cover this book, so I tried to set the stage and get Rick on course fairly quickly.

Chapter 2: The Showdown
His first reaction, of course, was to assume it couldn't ...
2020-05-02 19:37:40 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time, everybody! Street Cultivation 3 is here, which means regularly scheduled updates. This book is one I hope everyone finds interesting. It involves some things I couldn't logically include in the beginning, plus some arcs I didn't want to try until I had the audience's trust. I don't kno...
2020-04-25 20:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! Thank you for supporting the release of Street Cultivation 2. ^-^ I'm here today with two different announcements for you.

Hello, everyone! I haven't done many monthly updates because there's relatively little news, but this time I actually have people coming to me with questions. Hopefully this post will lay everything out clearly.

First, an announcement: The Brightest Shadow is out on Amazon! Please check it out if you're interested in my new wuxia-inspired epic fantasy. I wasn't sure how this would go, but it seems off to a decent start....
2020-03-07 21:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostThree chapters this week, covering the entire climax. Next week will be a quiet epilogue like the first book, plus the cover reveal and more information about what's next.

2020-02-29 17:51:56 +0000 UTC View PostI know I'm going to get shit from some people for 51, but this is where I've been going with this book. Anyway, next week will be a triple chapter upload covering the entire climactic sequence, which will hopefully offer a surprise or two. Then a quiet epilogue the week after that, with more info...
2020-02-22 21:06:09 +0000 UTC View PostLast week, Tehlu requested a glossary of lucrim terminology, since keeping up with details can be harder when spread out over so many weeks. I don't know that I can maintain a glossary over the long term, but I've kick-started a reader-run reference in the form of this doc:
This week we see where one of the main plotlines of this book has been going. And more worldbuilding, because I have fun with lucrim pseudoscience. ^-^

2020-02-08 20:52:45 +0000 UTC View PostImportant question for patrons, this week. Though we'll have a solid February of updates yet until the second book ends, I'm definitely looking toward the release of the book. That includes getting the cover ready, and everyone will get a chance to see that later. But first, there's the matter of...
2020-02-01 20:41:48 +0000 UTC View PostTwo more chapters this week, but first, there's a sale of free and 99 cent ebooks! It includes my Street Cultivation and Changing Faces, but you probably already own those. However, it also has books from other authors such as John Bierce, Tao Wong, Will Wight, and Andrew Rowe. All the books are ...
