TWC Comic Preview

As before, don't miss the fact that the main comic is in an attachment! The above is just a randomly chosen sample panel.

Because working with artists and communicating with patrons are both slow processes that operate on different schedules, this comic was already in the works before the p...

Still dealing with release hangover, lurching from thing to thing. Isn't over because the TWC4 audiobook will be coming out next weekend. One last note: the omnibus release could still use your support on View Post

For me, it's release weekend! Please check the links in the previous post and consider supporting the omnibus release with reviews and the like. While a large part of this release is a response to past r...

TWC1-3 Omnibus Edition

This has been long-requested and too long delayed. Many readers have wanted an omnibus version of the audiobooks, since it would offer more listening for one credit, but I didn't feel like I should put too much time into this until the fourth audiobook was on the horizon. Well, you can look forwa...

TWC Comic and Poll

Well... this weekend was supposed to be a big important audiobook release, but Audible has finally screwed me over and not released. -_- So it'll just happen randomly next week, probably? I apologize for the delay in chapters, but I already had this post set up and I really want to get everyone's...

Deathseed: Chapters 3-4

Last time Patreon ate some of my spaces for unknown reasons. This time I tried something different when adding the chapters, did it still happen? You tell me.

I am working hard on the omnibus TWC book, and there's a lot in the air, but this week you still get chapters. I'm glad we're gettin...

Deathseed: Chapters 1-2

It's time for chapters! I hoped for the eighth book to be another with a clear central goal the entire book and tried to start accordingly. As mentioned, these chapters will be interrupted by some audiobook launches and other things, but they'll be proceeding from now on.

Alright, with Siata this set of Nine Worlds Anatomy is complete! I hope that you have enjoyed seeing all the species drawn out, as well as hinting at various processes and regions to come.

Nine Worlds Anatomy: Tatian and Noven (plus updates)

More anatomy pages! By my count we are at eight out of nine. I hope everyone has enjoyed this set. ^-^

Having said that, a general update: I can now promise that chapters of Deathseed will start in October. Probably early October, but they will be interrupted because there are some other th...

Appendix: An Introductory Monograph on Demonology

Hello again, everyone! Things are absolutely crazy here on my end, but I can't talk about everything yet. Hopefully good things in store for TWC and my career.

Before this week's content, I want to ask for your algorithmic support. There may be more industry people looking at my wo...

Nine Worlds Anatomy: Aathal (plus omnibus questions)

Another diverse world to cover this week! I look forward to spending more time in Aathal, but that won't fit into the plot until later in the series. Please enjoy and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Meanwhile, however, I have questions for you! And some good news for those foll...

Soulhome Blueprints: Wakespire

Well, people have been asking for updated blueprints and these are long overdue - that's on me, not the indefatigable Lamsey. These images represent the characters' soulhomes as of the end of Wakespire.

These get longer with each book, but I'm not sure I have many notes for the newest editi...

Nine Worlds Anatomy: Slest

I've been eagerly awaiting getting to this one! When designing Slest, I put a lot of thought into the balance I wanted to strike between strange and familiar. Even though Slest has mostly been used as a dangerous wilderness, it has very important roles to play in the broader story of the entire s...

TWC Book 8: Title and Updates

Since everyone is here first and foremost for the books, I didn't want to let a month go by without letting you know what has been happening with my writing. There will be more anatomical sketches, new blueprints, some appendices, and other fun stuff, but this post is just about the next book. View Post

Two TWC Short Stories

Today we have some short fiction set in the Nine Worlds! These will be exclusive to patrons until some time in the future when they'll go into special editions. Specifically, these stories will be placed in between the first, second, and third books.

Unlike conventional short stories, these...

Arbaian Anatomy

Time to cover Arbai! Since it's one of the least humanoid worlds, I figured that people would be eager to see this one. Please don't miss the fact that there are actually two pages this time, the second one featuring some species that haven't really shown up in the story yet.

Soulhome: The 2.0 Edition

$5 supporters, time for an unusual reward! Hopefully it's interesting to somebody.

I've always offered paperbacks of my books, but this is just a courtesy to readers who prefer to read physical copies; I barely sell 2% in paperback so it's not really a good time investment. As such, the pap...

Surprise Update: Appendices and Bonus Book
