Two more chapters, changing things up a bit. I've said this elsewhere, but though I try to keep the series focused, with such a long story I think it's good to include a wide variety. I'm glad that there's an audience who has been enjoying it.
FYI, I will be taking a trip next week. I have ...
2023-06-10 16:55:31 +0000 UTC View PostSome straight relationship content this week, like we haven't seen since Chasmfall. As I've always said, this story will not focus on romance, but given that it will cover many years of the characters' lives, I felt like it would be unrealistic not to include any. And to respond to comment I've s...
2023-06-03 17:01:44 +0000 UTC View PostI think readers will be glad to know that I've finished some minor edits to this book based on feedback. No guarantee there won't be more, but it feels better to be on top of things. Nothing huge, just tweaks I hope will make the final book read better for more readers.

Above the post, this is perhaps the final cover for Wakespire? If this goes well, you should be seeing brand new covers for all the books, though they'll take time.
Meanwhile, more Wakespire! Challenges! Revelations! There's a lot going on in this book and I hope people enjoy the balance. 2023-05-20 16:59:26 +0000 UTC View Post
After several weeks talking about all kinds of broader issues, this week we're entirely focused on Wakespire chapters. Hope you enjoy!

It would be premature to announce anything, but it is possible that I might have an opportunity to put out deluxe hardcover editions for The Weirkey Chronicles (or at least one). Your input on the following questions would be much ap...

Hey, everyone! Additional post to announce that the Street Cultivation audiobook will be 40% off for about a month. My publisher set up a special page and everything:
There's a lot going on behind the scenes these days, enough that I don't want to overload these notes. For this week, check out the new version of the Wakespire cover! You can expect to see more of these.

Hello, everyone! I have chapters for you, same as always, but first I hope to get everyone's attention on the images above and a very serious decision about the series going forward.
The covers for The Weirkey Chronicles have an uneven history. Not only different ideas, but various artists ...
