Minglings 42: Backstab [Part 2]

"Scout ahead and find out how the situation is. But be careful!"

Tergin nodded, and shot forward, graceful like a dolphin and twice as fast.

They were out of the lake, following the current of the river. The sun was right above, casting shadows from branches to occasional...

Minglings 42: Backstab [Part 1]

Jake lay silently on a patch of grass, tired and hungry, mind wandering all over the place. 

His head lay stretched towards the sleeping form of Melissa. Her soft breathing was steady again, and according to Beatrice, she should be fine if she just stayed put. His stomach ...

Minglings 41: Hidden potential [Part 2]

"Where is Jake?" 

Bert started and turned around. Melissa had propped herself up on an elbow and was staring at him. How she wasn't still unconscious with the bones sticking out of her arm was beyond him.

"You need to stop moving! You're gravely injured." 

Melissa snar...

Minglings 41: Hidden potential [Part 1]

 "You will all listen to Tergin, do as he-"

A loud shouting from the edge of the lake interrupted Jake. The two hours weren't yet over yet, were they?

He turned to Tergin. "Alright, hide on the bottom and wait. If the water becomes quiet again, I'll be out of energy. You need to ...

Minglings 40: Retaliation [Part 2]

Jake woke up, slowly trying to find out what had awoken him. He was groggy, his muscles still sore. Hunting had taken longer than usual last night, and when he came back, it was the dead of night.

"Are you sure he is sleeping? We really need to talk to him." A soft, vaguely fam...

Minglings 40: Retaliation [Part 1]

"Are you awake?"

Jake shot up, his head foggy from a quickly fading nightmare. Mason would never do that! He shivered as he forgot why he even thought that.

"Jake?" 

The questioning, careful tone caused him to look around. Tergin sat on a branch, stari...

Minglings 39: Gobtown smackdown [Part 2]

The flight back took far longer than Jake expected. The sunrise was reflected in the sparkling water around the island when he finally returned. Angling down, he was worried. Had the others gotten out in time? Did they manage to save the captured Kobolds? Barely capable of flapping a...

Minglings 39: Gobtown smackdown [Part 1]

Whipper nervously fiddled with his rolled-up namesake. Spittle splattered across his nervous green face, and he desired nothing more than to put his fingers in his ears.

"This will be your last chance you piece of garbage! If you weren't my nephew, I would have fed you to those crocodiles!"...

The cover of Again and Again!

Although the editing is still in full swing, I wanted to share the cover for my next book with you.

I really like how it come out, and I can't thank Olivia enough. 

As I said, it's a new story that is unrelated to 'Nothing but bones'. As soon as I have a good synopses and blurp, ...

Minglings 38: Alies? [Part 2]

Jake floated high above the sea, expertly using the air currents to waste as little energy as he could.

A soft tap on the left side of his neck made him bank left. It took him a moment to find what Melissa had seen. Far below him swam a group of tightly knit shapes. They were m...

Minglings 38: Alies? [Part 1]

"You're sure he is ok now?" Darsi asked Melissa as she jogged to keep up with the other.

"He is fine. Listen, it's a good thing! If he is this upset from losing his friend, it means he didn't lose his humanity." And hopefully, neither will we, she thought to herself.&n...

First blogpost ever

I've posted this on Goodreads before, shortly after the release of Nothing but bones and am adding it here for those who don't use Goodreads.

Minglings 37: Hidden truths [Part 2]

Emma slowly regained herself, drawing the straws of her consciousness together until she could form coherent thoughts. The newfound draconic mental strength helped her push away the lingering fear from losing her foot to the crocodile. It seemed so long ago, even if it happened just moments befor...

Minglings 37: Hidden truths [Part 1]

The next two days passed in a blur. Working in the bog, dodging Whipper's strikes, and keeping an eye on Daniel kept her busy and alert. Then, early in the morning of the third day, just before dawn, Emma woke up to a torrent of rain, pelting the thin roof of the shack.

Looking around the p...

Minglings 34: Goat for breakfast [Part 2]

Jake stared up at the edge of the island, waiting for one of the Insectoids to make their move. He was on the bottom of the crystal clear river, making sure to keep still. Small movements came from all around him, and he looked at Garry. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the Kobold was digging int...

Minglings 34: Goat for breakfast [Part 1]

Mason huddled behind two large boulders, on the edge of the volcano, trying to get as much shelter against the howling wind as he could. His stomach growled a bit, but it wasn't too bad yet, and he ignored it.

How fucking long can this storm last? Taking another look around, all he...

Minglings 36: Losing focus [Part 2]

Three days after Rita had left her, Emma was trudging back with the other Kobolds. It was almost dark, the looming clouds above promising another torrent of rain. Whipper was walking in front of them, taking a look across his shoulder every few minutes. He had raged for a day when he found out ab...

Wrong Minglings post

Something went wrong with the two chapters I uploaded yesterday. Somehow the previous chapter got mixed in with the new. I have added the second chapter that was supposed to be there!

EDIT: So I've found what went wrong. I used to have no numbering, and when I introduced it, I made a mistak...

Minglings 36: Losing focus [Part 1]

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the Goblins herded the tired group of Kobolds back to the town. Heads hanging down, dragging their feet, they couldn't even muster the energy to complain. Only one person was cheerful; Whipper. Whistling to himself, he walked at the head of the group, chewing ...

Minglings 35: Bad news, worse news [Part 2]

The loud bleating of scared, fleeing goats drowned out the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

Mason snapped the stringy goat's neck with practiced ease, tasting the warm coppery blood on his tongue. He looked around to make sure there wasn't any stone snak...

Another book! Again and again

So a few months back, I wrote the short novel 'Again and again'. Now, with Nothing but bones out there, and a little extra time on my hands, it is time to edit it!

The goal is to edit Again and again and put it on Amazon and Kindle within four months. I  have begun this week, and have ...

Minglings 35: Bad news, worse news [Part 1]

"Are you certain?" Jake asked Bolyr, unsure of what the other even meant.

Sitting on the rock, tending to his wound, the Kobold nodded vigorously. "Yes, Jake. From what I can tell, this island has a mana-well. It should be underneath the tree, which explains its size. I a...

Minglings 33: Competition [part 2]

Jake moved through along the interconnected branches of the jungle like a silent predator. Making sure that he kept his prey in his sights, he stayed as far from it as he could. 

Disgusting, he thought when he saw the Insectoid scuttle across some moldy wood on al...

Minglings 33: Competition [part 1]

Two days after Mason managed to kill three of the terror birds, he was hiding on the beach of terror bird island again. His stomach was full, his wounds mostly healed, and his mood vastly improved.

It's like a game! Kill all the small birds to get strong enough to kill the ...
