This is a transitional chapter, so I didn't want to share this without the follow up.
The next chapter should be up in an hour or less. Hopefully.

Has it really been over ten months? Wondered Jake. Swampland never changed and there was no day or ...
Apocalypse Cultivation is heating up!

As usual, there wasn’t much air movement, but today there was a hint of a breeze. Maybe it was a good sign. Jake had decided to name this trial world, “Swampland.” It seemed to fit, even if it wasn’t...
Hey everyone! I asked a friend of mine and fellow author on Royal Road, Krazekode, to draw Jake for me. This was the result. I think it's pretty cool. :P
This art has been shared on social media and Royal Road, but I have some more art coming to Patreon, too. Even t...
Apocalypse Cultivation! Yay!

While he was meditating, Jake reflected on where his cultivation level actually was now. His teacher had refused to explain the entire potential of cultivation to him in the past, only telling him what he judged would be ...
I just posted this in the GameLit Society on FB, but I know for a fact that some of ya'all don't have FB (probably wise), and I really should have posted it here first to begin with. lol
So...I have something super cool to share. Kedoco, a reader and a Patreon patron here has surpris...
After the transition, Jake experienced a moment of confusion and disorientation before his senses cleared. He was standing on a level area on top of a rocky outcropping. The sky was overcast, and the only light came from the horizon, with a dim, reddish hue.
The air smelled. &nb...

Hey everyone!
I'm finally telling everyone what the series title of Jake's Story will be:
Apocalypse Cultivation.
This was what I had in mind from the beginning, I just didn't want to share until I was almost done with the story. Now that we're only about a month out, ...
This was going to be another 2 chapter post, but the next chapter is kind of long and I didn't want to make you all wait.
This chapter is kind of short.
I love writing about the Faceted, though. lol

Hey friends!
Some of you won't care about this at all, so...yeah. You've been warned. BTW, it's okay if you don't care. The nuts and bolts of being a professional author aren't always glamorous or even interesting to everyone.
2021 has been my year or reconsolidati...
Based on your suggestions, I've decided to keep chapter 19.5 and make it chapter 20.
Thank you for all of your feedback!

Well, I guess that question is answered now, thought Jake. His flared his nostrils and observed the school-turned...
This chapter comes between 19 and 20, and it'll be Patreon-only. I will not be adding this to the book, and I will not be sharing it anywhere else.
Thank you for being here. :)

Hey everyone!
I was looking at my analytics today and noticed that I have a surprising number (to me) of European patrons.
So here's my question for the non-Americans (not just Europeans, either):
Would you all like special notes in chapters that explain Americana in a chapte...
It's not fun to eat crow, but sometimes we all should. This is one of those times for me.
I failed, haven't delivered what I promised I would, so I have to explain why.
Sorry for the delay! I had to run errands today and I'm still working on Delvers LLC 5.
This scene needed to be born, though.
So fair warning, this chapter is pretty intense. It's also really important for Jake's journey.
You'll see. :)
Also, just for Patreon ...
The next chapter will be up in an hour or two, I'm just editing. It's longer than this one.

Jake had to decide who to attack first, and the obvious choice was the Warhounds, the group that his sister said had actually killed...
Yay! I'll have a post with a link for the folks entitled to the ebook up before the end of the day.
This is Steven Keiler's first book. If you are interested, please check it out and give him some love. :)

Hi everyone!
I'm currently working on Delvers LLC 5. I got some feedback about the story that it's missing something, and I agree, so I need to add a chapter somewhere and I'll be figuring out there over the next week. I might get another chapter out before I do, just know it's...
Sorry for the wait everyone! I'm getting back into the saddle, so to speak.
At least the return is explosive, right?
:)

I've decided to head back to Royal Road as an experiment. I've begun posting Jake's Story there.

Hi folks!
The last couple of days have been a little crazy.
Three days ago I went to the emergency room because of a heart attack scare. I'd never experienced pain in the left side of my chest before. As it turns out, I got a clean bill of health...which was nice. Un...

EL will be launching in about 2 weeks.
This is the final cover.
The last few chapters will be posted in the next few days.
Yay!
Hey everyone!
Early this morning I sighted in my double barrel crossbow to get focused before starting an epic work day.
Engineering Ludus is finished. I just need to get the last few chapters edited.
After that, I'll be getting back to Delvers LLC 5 full time.
Hey everyone!
We're getting close to being done with Engineering Ludus. After that I will be posting Delvers LLC chapters again. I'm also working on SOO2 to start writing after that book is done.
In other news, I wanted to thank everyone for being here. I just took...
In my opinion and based on my experience:
Avoid the temptation to do follow trades etc on social media with other writers just to inflate your numbers.
One reader is worth 100 author followers. Most of us commisserate and empathize with each other, but rarely actually read each ...
2021-05-14 11:26:33 +0000 UTC View PostI am not happy with the other 2 chapters I have done after this one. The original plan was to release multiple chapters. I kind of still want to, but I've decided to share this chapter anyway. :)

Hey everyone!
I have been chipping away at Delvers LLC 5, and it's fun when I'm working, but I've been dragging at times. I was talking to Melli today about it and I definitely have some kind of depression. In some ways, it feels like my seasonal depression from Winter just nev...
Hey everyone!
Melli is getting her wisdom teeth out today. I'll be working on my phone, but I'm so close to having another chapter done, I'll still likely finish it in the office.
My plan is to release 2 or 3 chapters together really soon.
In other news, I have family vi...
Hey everyone! I'm super excited to share this.
This chapter took a while. I'm very proud of it and it's loooong. Sometimes it just happens this way.
To put this into perspective, Secret of the Old Ones was 50k words. This chapter is 7,200 words, which is appr...
