Brother Verdinen was slow to rise every morning, even though it was a small sin in of itself not to get up at dawn and greet the sun god Siddrim when he graced the mortal realm with one more day of light and life. Normally he justified such bad behavior by telling himself th...
2023-05-22 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostUltimately, his plan was a simple one: bring what he needed, kill a few goblins, and chill out for a few months or years. “Lifetimes, maybe,” he mumbled as he laced up his armor again.
In between inventing Saturday morning cartoons ...
2023-05-22 13:59:03 +0000 UTC View PostThough Tenebroum gets most of the love and Golemancer and Death After Death get most of the hate when it comes to the things I write, the other day someone was kind enough to leave a 1.5 star on Ch. 7 of Tenebroum. This is the chapter where the Lich rises up an...
2023-05-20 10:50:22 +0000 UTC View PostAlright. Weekly posts now. I've tried hard to step up my editing game. I hope you notice a difference!
Of all the lords dragged screaming and bleeding into the darkness, only one truly mattered to the Lich. Oh, it tried to take as many of the preening peacocks a...
2023-05-15 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, volume number 2 of the story is now starting: Life After Death After Death is here. It's only 1 chapter ahead of the public, but I will improve that over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
The darkness came and went for Simon, though it was impossible t...
2023-05-15 13:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo, as you know, I post patron advance chapters every other week. This week though, my posting of Golemancer chapters out of cycle (to bring them to 5 ahead post Writeathon) led to a conversation. Why? Why not post chapters every week?
It's a fair question. I do it to avoid unneces...
2023-05-10 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I already made a post this week, but a couple new patrons asked me recently, when am I going to do X or Y, so I thought I would take the time to write them down. Afterall, I love lists.
Kelvun didn’t stop for anyone or anything as he ran up the stairs in the dark toward his rooms without even bothering to find a real sword. Along the way, he briefly considered running to the nursery to fetch his infant son, but decided against it because of how fa...
2023-05-01 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNormally I wait to post until the middle of the week to post about whatever it is I'm working on, but I thought this was super cool, So I'm sharing it. I don't know if all of you love audio books like I do, but they are a blessing while you drive, and I would never have gotten through the whole <...

So, authors can buy ads on RR. You see plenty of them I'm sure when you're on the site reading. It's something I've thought about for a while, and I've been making this ad for fun, but I haven't pulled t...
2023-04-20 18:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostTenebroum is now 10 chapters ahead of the general public. That means you are getting to the climax of act 1 in the post.
“Truely?” Kelvun asked, pretending to be impressed. “You’ve seen the water dragon yourself, with your own eyes?”
He...
2023-04-17 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a bad habit, but every author I know does it. They're knee deep in their current project (and I'm already in the middle of four...) and they think, yeah - but what am I going to work on next?
I've been plagued by those thoughts this week. That makes sense because I've been focused on o...
2023-04-12 14:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes when I am writing a scene for Tenebroum, I wonder: is this too dark?
I asked myself that when the broken bard of blackwater was tortured to death - I even had someone read ahead and tell me they thought it was okay. I was still surprised when no one complained though. <...
2023-04-05 14:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Paulus watched the Templar’s party leave via the muddy road to the north instead of by river boat, that was his first real evidence that there was something wrong with the Oroza. Up until that point he’d convinced himself that it was in his own head, at...
2023-04-03 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo apparently its twice a year, which is a surprise to me. i thought it was in November.
Tenebroum: This story is going well. I am happy to report that I have finally completed the first arc of the story. It looks like a RR writeathon starts next week, so I will be delaying an additional su...
2023-03-29 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post(Forgive the slightly late post today, I haven't been feeling the best. Hoping to get a whole pile of Golemancer chapters up later this week. We will see.)
Krulm’venor’s walk was endless, but for him boredom was more of a concern than fatigue would eve...
2023-03-20 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so I think in a continuing effort to give my stories a little more visibility I am probably going to save up the extra chapters I write for a few weeks, and then release all of them on one day on RR and SH. That means we will go down to just two new chapters every two weeks for a couple wee...
2023-03-15 13:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostKrulm’venor had no idea how long he’d been kept in isolation before the lantern was opened, and he was allowed to flare to life once more, but he knew it had been a long time. It had been at least months, and possibly years since he’d tried to defy his jailer...

I'm still tinkering with this here and there, but this is the cover I'm going to use for Golemancer I think.
2023-03-01 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis week the weather was nice, so I only wrote about 8,000 words. This is a little less than my average, but mostly that was because I wanted to take advantage of the unseasonal weather to do other things. There's more to life than sitting in front of a keyboard, right?
I also wanted...
2023-02-24 16:14:44 +0000 UTC View PostNote: As promised 3 more chapters! Two more weeks of this and we can see about getting some bonus chapters for everyone else (though the Patreon will stay 8 weeks ahead.)
The swamp was dying.
It was a slow process that would be measured in year...
2023-02-20 17:59:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis week has been fairly busy/productive. I finished chapter 36 of Tenebroum, which is ALMOST as cool as chapter 29 was. 37 might be cooler though. We'll see. It has potential. Regardless, this means you will once again get three chapters again next week, bringing the Patreon to 7 chapters ahead...
2023-02-18 18:59:31 +0000 UTC View PostIt's funny. All my stories start with a pretty strict outline, and they rarely deviate from it. Letter of the Law has gotten compressed slightly as my writing has tightened up, but none of the events or the order that they've occurred has changed, Death After Death ended one cha...
2023-02-10 19:02:05 +0000 UTC View PostThree more chapters for my dear, dear readers, as promised. Enjoy!
It was hard to believe the world had changed so much in the darkness’s absence, but when it returned its focus to the world beyond its lair, it found the map practically rewritten. It wasn...
2023-02-06 15:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostDeath After Death is complete (for the moment).
2023-02-06 15:29:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt feels strange that It's been more than a week and I haven't worked on Death After Death. It's good too, I mean - the story is 75,000 words long, it's just been a habit to work on the same three stories for week after week since August, and now... We'll it's still three stories, it's j...
2023-02-03 15:43:36 +0000 UTC View PostThere are two things I want to discuss this week. The first is that I am going to focus on trying to get Tenebroum Patron's to where they are 8 chapters ahead. Ideally that will take another 1 to 1.5 months. Then after that I will look at increasing the chapter count for everyone else. For contex...
2023-01-27 18:21:31 +0000 UTC View PostNote: Bonus Chapter. I have decided to post a third chapter this week for my Patrons to increase the number of chapters they are ahead. I plan to do this for the next few posts. We will see if I can keep up with that though. More on that in my post later this week. Enjoy!
