Mini-update

Hi, no good news alas. My whole family got sick. I thought I had avoided this one, but today I could barely stand up from my bed (I’ll spare you the other details). The good news is: I should be better in a couple of days if it’s like for my family. 

I know the timing sucks. My Luck stat must be shit. I’ll try to finish the chapter and publish it on Saturday or Sunday, depending on when my mind decides to start functioning again. 

Thank you fo...

Elydes - Tides of Change is now out on Kindle!

Hello, Drew authorman here!

Another publishing day has arrived! Book 2 of Elydes - Tides of Change is now available on Kindle and Paperback!

I’m excited to share the final version and forget the first draft I put out. Without going into details, let’s just say editing this book was a journey. The word count has been significantly condensed to improve the pacing while still keeping all the contents. I've also touched up a few characters, added hin...

Chapter 286 - The Missing

A/N: Well... Let's say time management is not one of my talents. Anyway, here's a 2.9k chapter!

Mini-announcent

Hi, just a quick announcement. The chapter will be out tomorrow. I've been busy with preparing for the release of Book 2 this Wednesday. The chapter is 80% done, but I don't want to rush or work into the night (like usual); so I'll publish tomorrow, and take my time to finish and edit.
Hope you're all having a great day :)

“Are you alright, Mat?” Niel peered at him with a slight frown. 

They were leaving the residential neighborhood, crossing the town center toward the Hall of Seekers. Stark glass windows opened on empty shops, apothecaries, tail...

Chapter 284 - Threads and Puzzles

A/N: ANNOUNCEMENT:
Hello everyone! I know it has been a while, and a lot has happened. So, I would like to give you a proper update about what’s going on, together with a new chapter!

For the last few weeks I have been working on figuring out a mental health issue (related to my later and later release times, poor sleep schedule, etc). It is not quite resolved, and I still have a few more appointments before getting a diagnosis and, hopefully, a treatment plan.

Announcement III

Hi everybody, and yes, this is not a chapter either :(

I'm really sorry for the delay. The next chapter will be out tomorrow (Tuesday 17th).

I'm feeling much better, not sure if it was covid. I just feel a little tired despite not having done much of anything XD. Anyway, taking a pause has also allowed me to come to a few realizations about how I want to continue writing. I will explain more tomorrow. <3

Thank you all for your patience, support, and comments. I really ap...

Announcements - Delay

Hi, hope y’all are doing well, I’ve gotten sick :( 

I was hoping it would get better over the weekend (which is why I delayed making this post), but I still woke up with a fever. So I’ll be taking one more week off, and be back on Monday 16th. I want to come back with the right mindset, and not already stumbling.

The subscriptions will remain paused till the 26th. So there will still be close to two weeks of publishing chapters between the 16th and...

ANNOUNCEMENT 

Greetings, denizens of Patreon! 

As you may have noticed, my sleep schedule has been kind of obliterated to keep up with the needs of my publisher (R.I.P). Editing book 2 (twice), proofreading, giving feedback on the next cover, etc, while writing 4 chapters per week. 

So I won’t be charging for the next month on Patreon and will be taking a two-week break (be back on Monday 9th). The good news is that you will get chapters for two weeks free ...

Kai moved to the cupboard above the sink. Resting his hands on the counter, a tired sigh escaped his lips. He closed his eyes, distractedly taking notice of the runes engraved on the piping and the burrow of a red mouse below the house.

This wasn’t the archipelago an...

A series of successive fires blasted the burning house—Herry Rickson had been nothing but thorough with the defenses of his house. The explosions showered their backs in heat and shoved them forward. 

Kai leaned against the grimy stone wall of a building to not lose his footing. ...

Kai stilled, the papers filled with names in his hand. He strained his ears and channeled Body Augmentation to make out the sounds moving closer. There were two sets of footsteps, one heavy one light, thumping up the stairs—their words too low to make out through the walls.

It’s almost like…

Kai had crossed an ocean and the untamed lands of the mainland, faced pirates and bandits, gone through more unforeseen accidents than he cared to admit. With his sister standing before him well and alive, it had all been worth it.

Niel led the team up the steep ladder, sword and shield at the ready. The plumes of mist rolled over them, denser and colder with each floor they crossed. Stepping on the stone of the third chamber, high rectangular windows lined the walls and framed the smoky white swirls.

Muffled voices stirred Kai awake. Shadows and lights danced beyond his eyelids. He was lying on a cold stone floor. Despite his dazed head and heavy limbs, he had all his fingers and toes. Whatever toxin he got injected with, it wasn't lethal, or the potions had an effect.

I can’t believe...
