Monday Update :)

Well its another beautiful week and I'm sitting down - writing words :)

Undying Blood (Time Loop)

Got 2 more chapters done - Will drop those in a day or two. Going to go back and do some edits later to previous chapters. I had an idea on what I wanted to do with the Time Loop cycle and after your feedback - I'm pretty sure where I wanted to be and where I'll end up, is where I think the story will be best overall.

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 051 - Wise Words from a Viking

“Doesn’t seem fair, does it,” Thorodd stated as he winked at Osvif. “We get a damn dress and he gets an axe.”

“True, but then again, he does shoot lightning from his ass, so it makes sense.”

Both men chuckled as Einar let each of the Vikings take a turn examining the weapon.

“It feels wrong,” Thorleif said. “Like, holding it… I could use it, but it’s almost as if it wants me to let go of it and return it to you.”

“I thought the same thing,...

Time Loop Beta Question - Need Feedback on my story

For those who haven't here is the link

I'm considering modifying the story (been writing some on it these past few days). I think that instead of having his skill decrease with each death, I might hold off and it stays the same.

In your opinion - do you feel that having the number not decrease would ch...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 050 - A Gift

Einar could feel Shael studying him.  Her blue eyes seemed to sparkle as she sat on the green cushion chair, tapping a finger against the silver cup.

“It’s been five minutes since you last spoke.  Tell me, have we really surprised you that much?”

She smiled and bobbed her head slowly.

“Freyr appeared to the King and the Queen in a dream the moment the beast fell.  They then reached out to me and have prepared the city for this moment.  As you saw ...

Beta Feedback - Reborn as a Dragon Mage

This is from an author friend looking for feedback/thoughts as they write this series. I appreciate the time/help if you're willing to give it.

It's a google doc with permission to leave comments.

A bit weird I'm sure for some of you, but it is what it is.

Enjoy if you want :)

Weekly update (cuz I'm slow)

So good news!

Book 2 of my Viking series is done. Just waiting on some feedback of last few chapters from my beta readers. Will start working on book 3 next week ;)

Also doing a little writing on my Time loop. I do have a question I want to ask about the story and will put it in a poll.

UL1 is going strong - little bit of book 7 taking place as I finished book 2 of Viking.

Also I'm dropping another story for another author (5-6 chapte...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 049 - Win or Lose

[ Divine Protection ]

[ Blessed Healing ]

Immediately, the cold and the sensation of thinning oxygen vanished, and Einar’s body felt recharged and rejuvenated.

If I’m going to die, there is no point in holding back now.

Grunting at realizing his brain had repeated the same thing just moments ago, he glanced up across the spine. He saw Skardi, lips blue, eyes bulging, and his arms shaking as the hulking Viking slammed the metal rod repeatedly into the oppos...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 048 - Flying

The Leuca ango barely reacted as Einar struck the hook that was wedged into the small section of scales with a hammer.

Each strike hit true, and after three swings, he felt like it would hold no matter what, his anchor set just slightly above and about six feet behind where the wings were connected.

He grimaced at Ospak falling to the ground, his hook slipping free as the beast banked to the side.

Skardi was bent over, moving toward the top of the ridge of the Leuca ango, st...

“We’re going to be in trouble when the male comes,” Osvif said as he pointed at the anchor for the harpoon chain. “This one is bent, and I’m almost certain we can’t fix it here.  Not without a forge, anvil, and a lot of luck.”

Nodding, Einar ate a second helping of food as he watched the men and women continue to pack barrels with body parts that had been harvested and quickly brought to the woods.

“So we’re down to two… Anything else we can do?”

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 046 - Bringing Down a Beast

“Man the pulleys!” Osvif yelled as loud as he could.

Every Viking started shouting as Hallad, Skardi, Starkard, and Ospak all raced to their spots, working to quickly pull down the Leuca ango which was fighting against three different anchors.

Black blood was being flung around the flailing monster as it continued to try and flap its wings, struggling as the left one had a harpoon right under its wing.

The chains were taunt on both sides, and the wire that had held it lo...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 045 - It Begins

Osvif, Hogni and Einar dashed across the open space to where Lyeneru and one of the other elven scouts were, hiding behind a twelve foot boulder.

Dry ground, swept clean by the winds which blew along this gorge made their hair flutter behind them as they sought out one of the few hiding spaces this place presented.

Einar kept his eyes on the sky, seeing the larger rock outcroppings that rose and fell along the canyon area.

“Other side, in the direction of the sun,” Lyene...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 044 - Weapons In a Wagon

“You four need to stop complaining and lift!”

Bodalf, Geir, Ospak and Skardi said nothing as Thorleif’s black eyes glared at them.

“On three!”

When the call came again, this time the five Viking’s roared as they used their legs, lifting the twelve foot long ballista off the ground and waiting as the next set of men and elves moved in to help.

Blocks were placed again under the weapon and the groans of not having to support the metal frame came from the five...

BTtNR - Book 2 - Chapter 043 - Sometimes Quests Get Worse

“So tell me why you think the undead might have been collecting our gear.”

Thorve was still frowning as they let the horses move at a steady walk.

“Hearing that some of the gear was missing completely and not able to be recovered has me wondering about some of the beliefs that my circle of healers has.”

Einar waited, watching the woman as she tapped a finger against her downturn lips, finally grunting when she rode silently, lost in apparent thought.

“Sorry,...

Einar was crouched next to Thorodd as they waited for the signal.

It looks like there are just about a hundred left… still those two casters are near that crystal.

“Sorry all this falls to you,” the second in command whispered.

“Joys of being in charge and the only spell caster besides our two Elven mages who can’t get closer.”

“And being split up makes this harder.”

Nodding, Einar scanned the woods behind him, seeing the single Elven mag...

“Shield wall!”

Thorodd’s shout came as the sound of metal on metal rang out over the edge of the clearing.

A green ball of fire had struck Osvif, roasting him alive, the screams that had escaped his mouth still fresh in Einar’s ears.

Fireballs from the elves came from inside the forest, impacting the large groups of undead that were shifting to the side they had attacked from.

“Stay close! Don’t get picked off! Hold that line!”

“That does change things,” Osvif said after the silence had gone on too long. “If Odin expects us to die, then I can see a few options for how to attack that might minimize them even though we know half of us will still probably not make it.”

The crackling of the fire was the only reply their tactician got as each Viking considered how that death might affect them.

“You appear to have learned what true commitment is. Well done, Einar.”

Blinking didn’t hurt but it took him a moment for his eyes to adjust. 

Standing over him stood one he hadn’t seen in a while.

“Geiravör?”

She smiled, her lips pulled back in what appeared to be a genuine expression of joy.

“Look at this,” Varitan said as he watched the crops that had been left to rot fall apart in his hand.  “The sickness has spread so far that now even the simplest touch causes it to turn to dust.”

Einar stood by his Elven friend, still having chosen to ignore how the elf had acted almost two weeks ago. 

“And why is it you haven’t burnt these fields?”

“The smoke becomes poisonous.  You’ll see in a few more miles where they attempted to burn se...
