It has begun! Audible controls release timing, so we were on tenterhooks waiting to see if we scraped in before the holiday wall. Looks like we did, because the first audiobook is available now:
2021-12-10 23:45:33 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, this post is going to be about the fifth book in the series. There won't be any true spoilers, but if you're the sort of person who wants to go into a book completely blind, then you might want to skip this one... after the next paragraph.
While I have you, let me remind everyone t...

If you didn't see the announcement in the image: yes, Travis Baldree has agreed to narrate The Weirkey Chronicles! I've kept this under my hat while we were figuring out details, but now the first book is in production.

We have another soulcrafting tutorial, again thanks to the graphical work of Lamsey! Please enjoy this one - I didn't originally plan it, but enough people requested more information on specific rooms types that I decided to do one. I'm not sure when I'll do a public post of this, but you guys ge...

We finally have a week where I can show you the cover of the fourth book! This is another nice cover by Susliche, whose work you can find here.

I have a lot of fun things planned that I hope will make this month feel worth it for you, and I just want to add that the enthusiasm for the series does have a measurable effect in shortening the wait for TWC5. ^-^

Epilogue
The bodies of the titans cooled slowly as the shadows stole their heat. It would be days until the remains became indistinguishable from the rest of the environment, particularly in such an unnecessarily lit landscape. All th...
2021-10-30 20:05:16 +0000 UTC View PostThree chapters leading up to the epilogue! This book doesn't end with the same sort of climactic fight sequence as the others, since I don't want to be too formulaic, but I tried to give this one a different sort of impact. There are some big reveals here, including one that I have been eagerly w...

Well, we're finally to these chapters. Most of my notes will go at the end, but first, some news about our Discord server!

Though I probably shouldn't say too much at this stage, I think many of you will be pleased. That's one of the many things that's been drawing my attention, so I won't go on in this introduction, b...

2021-09-10 20:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostNew chapters! But I'd first like to take a moment to talk about fan communities.
Readers sometimes request communities aside from the Patreon, and while I think those can be good, my concern is always that managing them will take up too much of my work time. When started by fans, however, I...
2021-09-04 17:01:57 +0000 UTC View PostHello, new patrons! Since Patreon analytics aren't the best, would you mind commenting where you're coming from? I know for sure some patrons are coming from the book release and some from RoyalRoad, but the majority are actually unknown, so more data would be useful.
Speaking of RR, the re...
2021-08-28 19:46:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe early chapters of this book were unusually long, but now we're back to shorter ones, so you're getting three of them instead of two.
These chapters include some answers, or at least significant steps toward answers. I know some readers have expressed frustration about some of the unknow...
2021-08-21 19:29:59 +0000 UTC View PostCan you believe it's been a week since the Rainhorn launch? I was hoping for a little better, but there have been solid levels of reviews, sales, and interest. Welcome to the new patrons, though I'd guess many are coming...

2021-08-06 22:46:01 +0000 UTC View PostWell, you guys overwhelmingly requested earlier chapters even if it meant later delays. That means you're getting the first two today, and since they're both above average length, this is a fairly long start.
There may be some delays on weekends that a book releases, but otherwise ...

The covers you guys voted on will still be used at some point, but as I've suggested, I'm reaching a point where I'm happy to go with simpler covers if it means that the books can stop being delayed. Based on patron thoughts, I've decided to go with several different symbolic or non-humanoid cove...
