Just a quick heads-up for my backers. Due to writing 80k+ words for NaNoWriMo I completely forgot the previous BB2 chapter. There will be another chapter tomorrow to make up for it, and if I get the time, a third on Sunday.
A quick question to everyone:
Half a year ago I wrote a...
2020-12-04 19:15:16 +0000 UTC View PostSolus shifted his gaze from the ground to the small clump of gold in his hand. With intense focus, he made it wobble and stretch until it was long again, then he turned it back into a small clump. He repeated the exercise as they walked, switching his attention to his path and the gold while igno...

"Why? It feels nice stroking your back! Now come back here!" Solus shot back, stepping around a table, trying to get his hands on the Darkhunter.

The buildings around this part were heavily damaged, but a group of skeletons were moving from building to building, and where they left, the buildings were mos...

"Have you decided what you want to do?"
Solus put his hand on Domain...

It is!
I wanted to share quickly that I've just put the last hand on the first draft of Nothing but bones book two, The chaos rifts!
It will still take months of editing by me and others, proofreading, and more editing before it can be...

Sitting on the roof, the shade stuck its head through the ceiling of the building the dangerous one had entered. It didn't dare follow inside the dead-thing, propped up like a tower, but the stone held no danger.
The thing watched as the confrontation between the one who had slaug...

As it gazed through the shadow of the building, high above the ground, the being stared at the enormous grey, green-haired giant. It knew it would be no match for it or even some of the others that had slaughtered it's dull-witted brethren. But it was different. It had survived...

Most were the size of his thumb, and he had four in each hand. According to Baudron, there were hundreds, perhaps thousands more inside the hill. It ...

What if they were all as strong as the first few? Seeing the pursuing undead gain ground on the party from Skulltown, he shook himself and jumped forward. Sprinting as f...
2020-10-18 07:25:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early in the morning, and only skeletons walked around the poorly lit streets of Skulltown. The road Solus followed led to a large central square where many more came together. They were in the zombie sleeping district. At least that is what the residents called it, and recently evolved zo...
2020-10-11 06:27:35 +0000 UTC View PostMason trudged up the crest of the dune and cracked his neck. He started to dislike walking more and more, especially across loose sand that kept sliding away and trying to trip you up.
A bit further, looking into the distance, stood Baudron. Ever since he got to eat and sleep freely, he see...

2020-10-04 10:10:28 +0000 UTC View PostSolus woke with a start. A loud sound, alternating between buzzing and howling, screeched beside his ear.
~ Wake up. Wake up. Wake up ~ The Sphere's voice mixed with the alarms to create the most annoying noise Solus had heard in his short life.

The birds saw him coming and, to his chagrin, fled before he could get anywhere close. He thought for a second if he should follow them, but knowing Baudron was down there stopped him. Taking a last look at the distancing specs, he turned back down.

From now until the whole first draft of the book is released, I will only be doing sporadic Minglings releases. I still have some chapters in the backlog, but I need to write one novel at a ...

“Dammit, wake up!” Mason said, shaking the unconscious dragon.
It was heavier than it looked, and bigger than he was, and wholly unmovable. He estimated that the kobolds had left half an hour ago and the dragon still hadn’t as much as groaned.

Mason sucked the meat of the last bone and swallowed it whole. It slid down easy, and a burp came up, the gastric gases coloring his breath yellowish.
"That's what I am talking about!"
He took a last look at the sizable stack of bones before around and looking at a ...

The moaning and crying sounds of wounded Kobolds faded to the background as Jake followed Bolyr deeper into the tunnel. An earthy smell mixed with something pungent and sharp that he couldn't quite place. Gria moved at the back, behind the kobolds, alert at something coming from behi...

Jake wanted to scream in joy at the sight of the white sand curve up towards a beach. This had to be the island! He stuck his head up, water clattering back on the surface, the ruins of Gobtown sprawled not too far away. That meant the river wasn't too far away!
Like a torpedo,...

Jake was stumped when Peltmans and the others marched in his direction.
They had found him somehow, and were even willing to attack him in the forest? Something was wrong here!
A high-pitched scream tore through the silence. Swirling to the direction the sound came from, ...

The tree shook as Jak slammed his tail against it. Turning his head around, he examined Tir, who seemed content to just lie in a crack of his growing crest.

Jake bobbed in the water, staring at the small dark Kobold standing on the wooden walkway in front of the partially completed wall. Compared to her, it was tall, but he could stand on his back legs and look across. He must be the size of a winged car now, although to him it just felt...

"Follow me," he shouted, hoping the Antracii would heed his call. Even if they did not, he couldn't stay. If the Hydraci took the wall, they were all goners.
