“The official entrance is outside and around the back of the warehouse but…” Edward stuttered.

Hey all,
As many of you know I've been planning to release much more in the new year. I've done polls everywhere, jumping back and forth on what I'm going to release, but I think I've finally locked down a tentative release schedule.
Starting January 6th the schedule will be t...

Hey all. I'm planning to release indexes once a week, on Friday, but since tomorrow is Xmas, and my family is getting together boxing day, I probably won't get edits or Thur/Fri writing done.
Happy Holidays and Merry Xmas
See you on Monday.

Although we all made pleasant small talk around the table, we didn’t really say anything important. Tess didn’t ask how our mission went, and neither Maria or I felt like sharing. Like usual.
When Maria got up from the table I grabbed her arm. “Use all the power we stole to pay off as...

The hive network was a lot more extensive than either Skyler or I realized. It covered several square kilometers, which we had to methodically burn out with a combination of enzyme gas and nanite injections. The combination of the two processes worked quickly, but even after splitting up...

As soon as the sheriff left I noticed at least two other people keeping tabs on me. I wasn’t sure if I’d done something to rouse their suspicions, or if the locals were just naturally wary of strangers, but I considered myself lucky that I just got a talking to, and I wasn’t dragge...

The tiny Deadbeat came tearing around the corner, leaping across the gap into my departing Kodiak. I just stared at her in amazement, she never would have tried to make that jump before, not with that massive pack of medical supplies on her back.

After doing 4-2 on friday, feeling inspired, so may be two TBoB today.
I sent the Kodiaks to blitz the missile launcher. I knew whatever Helmar had couldn’t be small, considering the volume of fire it had chucked around the last few hours, but even I was unprepared for th...

Even with the anesthetic getting the spine out of my shoulder felt unsettling. It wasn’t painful, but I could still feel the thing slowly dissolve, and then have my own flesh push out the residue as it knitted itself back together.

Maria and I snuck through the local checkpoints, and out of the area, before anyone even could report our presence. Thankfully, the checkpoints were meant to keep people out of an active Bleed, not keep people in.

So. I'll be honest, I don't really like the way that TBoB book 3 has gone. Most people seem to think it's entertaining, but personally, I just don't like how many plot holes and forced interactions there are. I WILL be continuing it, but in order to stay motivated I will be writing Book 4 once a...

So, here is the first chapter of the travelling teahouse. Slightly different than I originally imagined. A couple of my discord frens gave me some ideas, and I went with them. Although I like the idea, I'm not 100% sold on it yet. May do Convergent realities instead, but I have a cou...

So, my plan for January was to do alternate TH and TBoB, while releasing two other chapters every couple days.
Now last night I started worrying that people would like me to shake things up, so quick poll. (Thanks anxiety)
I'm splitting the poll into two parts. Story and schedule.

I rewrote part of chapter 1, because although I really liked the idea of a subterranean base, but it doesn't make sense for a farm complex, or one that's under siege. That post has already been updated.
“Safe Arbour? What kind of name is that?” I asked.
