Irwin's Journey 527: Easier or harder?
“What are those things even doing?”
Irwin frowned as he sensed another speck of whatever was within the Guidar Chains sink to the bottom of his soulscape. It was the last one, and he had all of the others accounted for. He watched it as it moved around, keeping a massive barrier around ...

Author note: A quick update on how the re-release is going. Pretty good, but it could be better. If any of you has Kindle Unlimited, it would be amazing if you had a look at the three books on there! For those who enjoy audio books and have Audible, don't forget book 1 is up there to!
Now,...
Irwin's Journey 525: Tight fit
“A quarter is heading this way! Everyone, get ready,” Irwin shouted, knowing his voice might be audible even to the Chained and not caring.
Hundreds of Shadow Oculithar, including one of the larger ones, were rushing towards them. Some kept flowing in and out of the shadows as they move...

Daubutim stood on the deck of the Concerto, staring at Irwin. His friend’s eyes were glazed over, which was the telltale sign that he was focused mostly on one of his other bodies. Although he had two full selves, Daubutim had found that as he got older, his friend seemed to gravitate more and ...

Mozarath didn’t react as Jieldinis stared at him, holding his gaze. It took him barely any effort to project the mindlessness he’d had for such a long time.
“Head to the second experimental facility and bring what remains of the Chaos Whale heart,” she said, “The cooks at the lowe...

So, as most of you know, I've been officially taken aboard by Mango Media Publishing.
This means a few things, and although I've mentioned them before, its about time I give a full list.

Irwin's Journey 522: Rude awakening
Irwin clicked his tongue and shot across the soundwaves toward the back of another adult Chaos Whale. Seglassinder, Basil had said she was called, though after having talked about names with Luath, he sincerely doubted that was correct. It was probably overly simplified.
Reappearing on the ...

Irwin yawned as he walked toward the smithy, while the bustling city of New Malorin woke up around him.
I wonder what he found out, he thought.
He hadn’t spoken to Endil for a few weeks. Mostly because he’d been busy with preparations for his next heartcard, and the large...

Irwin hummed quietly to himself as he lay on his back, staring at the forge’s ceiling. Thick beams of wood hid dozens of nooks and crannies for Ambraz and the other Ganvils to hide in. Some were entrances to small cubby-like holes, others led deeper into the building.
He didn’t see them...

Irwin sighed as he stepped away from Ambraz, watching the card slowly settle. It was a diamond-rank, shadow-typed teleport card, and it wasn’t a hundred percent.
‘Not bad, kid! Ninety-four percent,’ Ambraz said, sounding happier than Irwin felt.
‘There’s no way ...

Irwin finished the last of the Ignitzian prepared meal, humming happily.
“It’s not like you haven’t had any in a while,” Scintilla muttered, elbowing him. “I just lack some of the spices! There were none on Scour, and most of those we brought to Eluathar are used up.”

You guys really came up with a lot of cool cards, and this will remind me to limit everyone to a single idea next time ;) That said, I took an hour just now to go over them and put those that either stood out or matched with many things in the story in the list below.
All of these will be ...
Irwin's Journey 517: Mudball take two
Author note: So, my jaw is still not well healed. A bit of jawbone was broken of during surgery, and although it was cleaned, the part where it broke free from has a sharp ridge. It's unsure if it will heal by itself, but due to inflamation they can't fix it yet. So, that means I'm still sleep h...

Author note: It seems sleep deprivation has removed my ability to do complete copy pastes. Sorry about that, and if you go the bottom you will find the little bit that was missing. Also, if you find typos or spelling mistakes, let me know. I'll fix them tommorow. Now back to bed.

Irwin's Journey 515: Party?
Authors note: So, a little game! Come up with a card you think would be in Irwin's drawer! If its really cool, and others like it (and its not to overpowered) I'll add it to the drawer!

Quick heads-up (about chapters this weekend)
EDIT3: So, Sunday, and the lack of sleep and stress made my body to decide to double dip and get a migraine. Today's chapter will be here tomorrow, and lets hope that's the end of all this hassle. For now, I need more sleep.
One thing - I've been having fun reading all the cards! Y...
Irwin's Journey 514: One beat
Greldo hovered in the shadows of the towering mountain peak, staring at the clash between six Chained ships and a host of Shadow Oculithar. It had started evenly enough, with the Chained managing to dispatch a dozen of the monsters and only a few appearing from the shadows to replace them. <...

Almost there, Irwin thought as he shot through the sound waves. Ten minutes of traveling later, he appeared back in the Portal Gallery, in a narrow corridor. One look told him that neither the Caldera nor any other similarly-sized ship would have been able to move through. Adding to the ...

I've been told by my publisher that books 1,2, and 3 will re-release on 2 Feb. It should come together with the first books audio book! Also, I'm rounding off book 4's ending. I had to do a ton of fixing of that one, as so much changed ov...

Irwin grinned at the ancient man. "You make it so...

“I see,” Flowrishin said.
Klei’am grinned as he sensed the annoyance mixed with pride from his bonded smith.

Uvra looked at the young apprentice, not sure if she'd heard him right.
"Wait, wait, wait," she said, waving her hand around. "Tell me this again?"
Yagrav's hopeful look turned slightly worried. He seemed to collect himself, taking a deep breath, before explaining again.
