Hi guys, I got this from an artist way earlier than I expected (I actually received it on Christmas Day. Yurii worked through the holidays to draw this.
Anyhow, here's a pic of Sarah from Amazon Apocalypse. This scene won't happen for a while, but here it is a bit early.
Originally, I was going to save this until I started writing more Amazon Apocalypse chapters, but since it showed up early I figured I might as well share it with you guys early.
I've got some reworks planne...

Happy Christmas Eve to all who celebrate it! Normally I'd like to do a Christmas special like I did last year, but I'm grinding really hard on Paladin and not sure I'll have the time for it. So instead, here's something else that's fun.
Do you want to convert your books into signed books?
But is it impossible to get your books signed because Marvin hasn't left his house all week?
Well now you can! And Marvin still doesn't have to leave his house.

Alright everybody, we're restacking Carter's priority list again.
Top vote gets highest priority and Carter will do it to the exclusion of the rest of the list if necessary. If possible, I'll try and weave in #2 and maybe #3 if Carter can do those at the same time (For example, he can explore and gain levels at the same time.)
I've added the write-in ideas from chapter 14.
So what should Carter focus on next? You decide!

We ended up driving the cars around a few times to cover up their tracks before camping them where I’d left my truck.
“We’ll be making the rest of the journey on foot,” I told Sarah as I unbuckled her.
“Thank you,” Sarah said as I ran around the car and undid the latch on her door. “I’m sorry I’m so helpless.”
“I’m more than happy to help,” I smiled. “Besides, you can make up for it in your wolf form.”
“That’s right,” Regina nodded. ...

I didn’t have time to bring my musket up to eye level to to take aim and fire. Fortunately, at these distances, I didn’t need to aim.
The hipshot sent a lead ball flying towards the entrance of the luxury camper, where the goblins were slowly spilling out one after another.
It tore a hole in the belly of one goblin, carrying straight through it and into the one behind it. Then, with practice motions, I had both my pistols in either hand. They exploded with a crack of thunder a...

"Sarah," I began, "I would like to follow you. Just in case your brother gives you trouble."
Sarah beamed at me. "Your support would be appreciated. This will make twice that you've helped me today. I'll have to think of a way to repay you."
Her smile had a certain toothy grin to it, making her reminiscent of a happy puppy. I smiled back at her in return.
We approached the circle of campers and responded from a distance once gain. I held up my hand to stop my party for a mom...

Alright guys, I need your help with something very important. Sexy amazon girls!
I've brainstormed a bunch of these things, but if there's any you want to see now's the time to get the ideas into my folder so I can put more of the world together behind the scenes. I have a bunch of my own ideas I brainstormed already, but putting more heads to the task can't hurt.

So, you guys caught me with no new chapters right now. I'm hoping to get another Amazon Apocalypse chapter done tomorrow, but Paladin of the Shield just started going smooth and I want to write out the current section before I lose the inspiration. Sorry, this is the consequence of publishing a story without a backlog.
On that front, Paladin of the Shield is going pretty well. I'm roughly 100 pages into it, but I haven't gone back to edit anything so I can't start posting yet. Usually ...

We couldn't go particularly fast in the two vehicles we rescued, but both had massive wheels and were built for this sort of off-road travel. On top of that, Sarah did an excellent job of setting a course that took us over flat and even ground with as few turns as possible.
It was amazing to see her pick the route with supernatural skill. A patch of ground I could have sworn was too rocky and narrow to pass through ended up being just barely wide enough to fit Sarah and both vehicles fo...

I put my pistol away since I wasn't about to execute a fellow human without very good reasons. Especially not one who looked as helpless as Sarah. In her human form, she was quite thoroughly bound already by the same harness the goblin had been using to ride her when in her wolf form.
Leather straps looped and crossed all over her body. There were a few bone rings just above her naval back and collar where all the straps met to keep her tightly bound. A leather collar wrapped around her...

Travel from there was rather uneventful, as far as life in our new world was concerned. We made camp later that night and were attacked by moss men again, but we drove them off easily.
The next campground turned out to be much closer to the circle of caravans than my bunker was to the first one. These more civilized areas weren’t spread out as much as my little patch of wilderness. It felt almost like the system had wanted to expand the wild and unknown regions of the world. At the sa...

Hi everyone! I've got a new novel for you guys! It isn't part of the Spellheart series (or Amazon Apocalypse for that matter). It's book one in a new series. Despite not being about Theo and the Hearthwood Clan, I think you guys will really love it. It's a gamelit harem novel just like the Spellheart series.
It's set in the lands of the Sacred Coast and follows a new protagonist.
Darren was just a boy when paladins burned his home to the ground. He didn't k...

Regina and I had to travel through the mountains for a while longer before I started seeing landmarks I remembered. There was a whole new patch of wilderness between where we were and where we wanted to go, just like the path to my bunker. The system had dramatically expanded this entire territory to make it wilder.
For what purpose? Merely to give places for monsters to take shelter and grow stronger away from human settlements? Or was there some more sinister purpose?
Along the ...

I buckled the shelter up tight so nothing would break into it while we were away. Then I went and covered the shelter again with a pile of pine branches and leaves. It wouldn't stand up to close scrutiny but would prevent someone from spotting it from afar and stealing my stuff.
After sealing up the bunker, Regina and I headed out.
Navigating the new terrain was tougher than I had been planning. I had navigated most of this mountain range before while putting together this bunker,...

While I pondered what to do next, I reached into my shirt absentmindedly, fingering the token I had gotten so long ago. This was the very thing that had started it all. Toying with this little trinket had become something of a habit of mine. A fidgeting tic to remind me that the end was near. I wondered if the practice would persist now that it had finally come?
But there was something different about the token as I toyed with it now. It was warm. Hot even. I squinted at it and let it f...

Hi everyone. I've been a bit quiet this week. I have a draft of the next Amazon Apocalypse chapter and I'm going to start writing it soon. I just haven't had time yet.
I'm putting all of my time into Paladin of the Sword to get it ready for publication so I haven't had the chance to work on anything else. (That novel is going directly to Amazon though. You guys can read it there in another week or so.)
For now, tide yourselves over with these pictures of Sava I commissioned a wh...

Regina had several more accidents on the way to the bunker. It seemed that though she had tremendous strength, she lacked the auxiliary abilities to properly control that strength. To some extent, I expected her awkwardness to get better with time. She'd eventually learn to gauge her new powers better and have a feel for how far she could travel with each jump.
But until then, her new powers would be a hindrance instead of an aid except for straightforward motions, which hopefully inclu...

I needed to get out of the tent and find a weapon. There was one problem with that, though.
In her sleep, Regina had wrapped her arms around me. I'd ignored the motion at the time. It was a flattering plea for affection. She was probably scared witless, and I was the one taking her to safety.
Except now, when I needed to get free, I found her grip was too strong to break. I'd forgotten Regina's stats. Her strength points put her well beyond the human limits, meaning she was strong...

The ground opened with a mighty crack, split asunder with the roar of grinding earth. I slammed on the breaks just in time to stop us from sliding in.
A fountain of lava shot out of the ground into the air in front of me. It stretched up into the sky like a massive hand reaching for the sky.
With alarm, a window appeared, telling me that the geyser really was a hand.

Regina was staring at an empty spot on the wall with a completely blank expression.
It was like she was frozen in time. The prompt before her should have vanished just as mine had. But Regina was still standing there with that blank look on her face.
"Regina?" I asked as I placed a hand on her shoulder.
I nudged her and stumbled back at what I saw. There was a growing bulge on her head, like some alien trying to pop out of her skull. As I watched, the bump grew longer and lo...

I sat there on the little barren patch of ground that was all that remained of the place where the three strange Amazonian women had once lived. Nearly an hour passed by the time I was sure that they were truly gone.
I had never believed in the supernatural before. Still, with irrefutable evidence right in front of my eyes, I couldn't deny that I had seen something inexplicable by any ordinary understanding of the world.
But there was one explanation that came to mind. Now that I ...

I've pre-written the first six chapters of this quest so you guys can get a feel for this character and setting. It's a system apocalypse + harem novel. Anything that I would write in the Spellheart series is fair game.
Make sure you read them so you can join in on the poll after the first six chapters are up next weekend. One chapter per day until then. The first poll will come on Saturday, after the sixth chapter goes up. It will only be open for a limited time.

Hi everybody!
Good news first:
We will be moving up to 3 chapters a week from here until the end of the book. The extra chapter will come on Monday, same time as usual. Those of you who've been here awhile will be familiar with the last time I was releasing 3 per week.
Same deal, there will just be an extra one every week, culminating in a 3 chapter weekend release when we reach the end of the book in the first weekend of September.
Bad news:

Remember that commission we voted on a few weeks ago? It's done! By popular request, I present to you the Deanian Royal Family.
From left to right, we have Princess Tivana, Baroness Jynna, The Queen, and Countess Frostweaver.
The artist did a great job with this one, and I'm happy with how the characters came out. At some point I may have a colorist go over them, but that is budget-dependent.

It had been ten years since Darren’s mother died. Ten years, living alone in the depths of hell. At that time, he had gone from boy to man. Darren didn’t know the day or year, but based on the passage of time, he felt like he was roughly twenty years old.
Though Darren barely noticed it anymore, day by day he grew stronger. He traveled west, and one day led into the next. His journey took him down to the Third Layer, where many powerful demons...
