July Patreon Update

Added 2021-07-17 02:31:00 +0000 UTC

This will be a fairly short update. Long-term status remains the same and can be viewed in last month's post.

Heretic Spellblade 3 is out next week. It'll be a couple of days late.
Audiobooks for both HS1 and HS2 are out, if you're one of the people interested in them and haven't already grabbed them. No audiobook news for a while. HS3 isn't out as an ebook yet and I'm in no rush to announce anything for Demon's Throne.
I've started working on exclusive Patreon content for July, so you can expect to see that trickle out.

Now, let's talk about the big topic. With HS3 done, I'm going to need some time to recharge my batteries.

HS3 has been fairly draining, and it's a point where I don't know whether the changes I'm making are improvements or not. I've actually undone edits already. At this point, only a serious break and revisiting it later would work, and that's not going to happen. I already take too long to release in the harem genre. 'Good enough' is, for better or worse, the default for the genre.

Also, releases suck. I find the period around release draining, and that hasn't improved with more books. Maybe one day that will change.

That means there'll be a short break between Ch30 of HS3 going up, and the first chapter of Demon's Throne 2 going up. It shouldn't be more than a week. There's a character in DT2 I've been dying to write again - she even stole the cover from Fara because she's best girl. She shows up right at the start, so that should give me the energy to push on.

The exclusive Patreon content will be worked on in the meantime, and I'll post editing notes/commentary for HS3 after it's been out for a little bit.
