Monday the last two chapters for Book 1.
Book 2 Comes out on 10/30
Five Chapters will be released that week and then the next one. After that I may end up at 3 or 4 a week as I want to get a few more rounds of edits done. If I can I'll get back to that 5 chapters a week for book 2.
I cannot express how grateful I am to each and everyone of you for your support as I wrote this book. The feedback you have given me, telling me what you like or didn't like. &...
After spending a while talking with Pammon, making up and figuring things out, Kaen knew it was time to go. He found the rings listed as dexterity ones and put six on his empty fingers, watching as they shrunk to fit each of them. His pinky and thumb fingers looked weird with small bands around them, but the added twelve dexterity seemed impossible to imagine. He was closing in on sixty.
As he left the room and entered the hallway, he found Herb standing across from th...

Kaen could not believe his father had acquired those stats with no items. Everything he had heard about him from Hess and others had to be true.
I know your numbers must be close to mine if you are gold, ...
2023-10-19 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAs Herb led him through some back rooms and doors of the guild hall, avoiding the main areas where others might be gathered, Kaen ran his fingers over both tokens he now wore.
I cannot believe they made us both platinum adventurers.
We should have been made much higher. After all, we did save the kingdom.
Pammon was laughing, and Kaen smiled as he felt him through their bond. It was still overwhelming to know and see his name on a token ...
2023-10-18 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostA few of you messaged but yeah... the italics are there, just Patreon is messed up. From what I hear, Email looks the best. Web page is hit or miss between different people (usually a miss) and App is also weird sometimes.
I promise I'm not trying to make it this hard ;)
2023-10-17 21:25:59 +0000 UTC View PostAldric stood quietly with his hands behind his back, gazing at Pammon and Kaen, who had moved to a training courtyard so that no one would be able to bother them.
“I’m a bit frustrated, but I also understand,” he stated, never taking his gaze off of Kaen. “You had a dragon and kept it a secret. A wise decision but also a risky one.”
Tell me again, why do we have to listen to this nonsense? Why would we have revealed ourselves while you and I were st...
2023-10-17 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThey are all dead. Something is consuming life in the forest. I will not risk flying near it.
Kaen could make out the section Pammon was looking at between the vision he somehow gained from Pammon and the light of the moon that now was a fourth of the way in the sky.
The whole forest… It's like… is that a mile of it gone?
I don’t know what it was, but that spell turned everything brown and dead, and there is a vine down there t...
2023-10-16 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostStarted scheduling Book 2 - Rise of the Last Dragon Rider!!!
First chapter will drop 10/31.
I will run 1 chapter a day for the first week!
Goal is to keep it 5x a week (hopefully my butt can keep getting ahead as I finished chapter 36).
2023-10-16 03:07:07 +0000 UTC View PostAva felt the sweat that was running down her entire body. Her robe was soaked, and she had finished the last of the water she had hours ago. Everyone was reaching the point where they knew the moment would come when they would have to make their last stand.
“You all need to flee while you still can,” Selmah ordered as she sat there on the ground, meditating. “It’s a fool's death unless they make a grave mistake and I don’t believe that Magus is a fool.”
... 2023-10-13 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAre you sure you can make it? Do we need to rest?
I will be fine, the orcs did not taste great but they gave me the energy I was lacking.
If you say so but don’t push yourself. I can feel your body hurting from how much you have exerted yourself. We both know I don’t want to get injured because you fall from the sky.
Pammon gunted and snorted, sending a small shower of snot at Kaen who had learned to dodge it, knowin...
2023-10-12 12:57:37 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 88 is “bonus today”
You can thank Thorai for breaking down my emotional barrier.
Hope you enjoy it!
2023-10-11 19:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostBefore Kaen could register those words, his lifestone engulfed him and Pammon both. Energy neither had experienced before filled each of them to the point their skin and scales seemed to tingle as air rushed over them.
Neither spoke as Kaen slammed a handful of arrows into his quiver with one hand before grabbing his knife and cutting the rope around one of his feet. Swapping hands, he cut the other and flung his knife over his shoulder, grabbing two more arrows and putting ...
2023-10-11 19:23:37 +0000 UTC View PostThere!
Kaen was pointing at the orc, who was running after the group closest to them.
Pammon had made it in record time, turning a four-hour trip by foot into a fifteen-minute one as he flew only a little bit off the ground. Speed was more important right now than worrying about altitude, and they needed to be close for him to attack.
I will lay down a path of fire. You focus on the orc! I cannot dispatch him without risking hitting your fell...
2023-10-11 13:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostDropping the wand with no more charges, Fiola fished for the one she had strapped to her hip.
“HOLD THE LINE!” Corey shouted as a group of fifteen or more creatures rushed at them.
The four warriors held shields out, the middle two with spears pointed at the incoming group with Corey and the other one waving their swords in the air.
“Now!” shouted Fiola as her casters let the lightning bolts stream from their fingers, arching through the group and causing them to thr...
2023-10-10 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Fall back!” Hess shouted. “Fall back! To the trees!”
How did they know we were going to attack?
Hess was still struggling with how quickly the horde of creatures had responded the moment they had attacked. The moment they had charged, it was like every creature in the cave had surged at them.
As they rushed toward the trees, Hess couldn’t help but glance at the four dead bodies of the third group knowing he couldn’t help the last warrior who...
2023-10-09 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Go!” exclaimed Kaen as he motioned to the others to go ahead into the woods.
He had just taken out four packs of hobgoblins with a bit of help from the other archer in the group and a lot of guidance from Pammon.
There are just a few guards who are either half asleep or not really paying attention. The rest of the camp appears to be back inside, gathering for something. You have maybe an hour tops before more hunters are sent out.
How many d...

2023-10-06 12:29:18 +0000 UTC View Post“Get your sorry arses moving,” Gertrude shouted as they set out on the second day of their trip. “We must ensure we keep to the schedule Fiola gave us. I believe her exact words were something about shaving my beard off and using it as a whip on me.”
“Bah, she wouldn’t do that,” Bruzac shouted from the back of the group. “She wouldn’t want to scare every child who sees your ugly face!”
Without turning around, Gertrude held up her middle finger...
2023-10-05 13:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostItalics are having some issues lately on Patron. It has been reported so even if it is set that way via the author it may not show up.
Email / app / web pages may show up differently.
Just wanted to give a heads up!
2023-10-05 00:06:45 +0000 UTC View PostBefore they retired upstairs, Kaen and Hess sat in the office with Sulenda.
“I know you know I am nervous about tomorrow, so don’t complain when I give you these things,” Hess stated as he put the pouch with three potions in it back in Kaen’s hand. “Stop fighting and just keep them. They are yours, and perhaps one of your new squadmates will need it.”
Kaen finally resigned to the fact he was not going to win this argument and bobbed his head in appreciation...
2023-10-04 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“My legs are getting tired of standing,” Kaen whispered to Hess as he listened to what seemed like the fiftieth man inform the King about shipments, trades, and other stuff that could put someone to sleep. “I thought we were meeting the King, not listening to all this.”
Hess chuckled quietly and received an elbow from Sulenda, who never took her eyes off the King.
They were standing in a crowd of people on both sides of the massive throne room with people who came to...
2023-10-03 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m not sure I can call you that,” Kaen answered, feeling his cheeks going red.
Bridgette and Ava both laughed at Kaen’s expense as they watched Kaen shift on his chair.
“If a lady tells you to call her by her first name, it would be considered rude not to,” Ava chimed in as she moved a tray of treats closer to Kaen.
“I guess…” Kaen replied as he glanced at Ava’s mother, still in disbelief that she barely looked to be above thirty-five. “If you i...
2023-10-02 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostMax Kendall won this round! I’ll be hosting a few more in the coming weeks (trying some different items also)!
2023-09-30 12:15:54 +0000 UTC View Post“If I didn’t know you were an adventurer, I might confuse you for one of them snooty nobles,” teased Eltina as she gazed at Kaen.
He was sitting at the bar with Hess, going over a few pieces of paperwork for his academy, and was waiting for the carriage to arrive that would take him to Ava’s parent’s residence.
“These old clothes?” Kaen joked as he hopped off the stool and spun around. “Why, I’ve had these things for a whole week. You know th...

2023-09-29 12:51:10 +0000 UTC View Post“Gertrude, that makes no sense,” complained Rory, the healer for her party. “We are going on a three-squad mission. We need to let each squad handle their own crap. How are we going to train golden-boy over there while working with others?”
“It’s silver- boy,” Gertrude replied as she pointed at Kaen, “and you and I both know he could kick all of our asses. So stop worrying about him, and let's focus on what we need to collect before the mission....
2023-09-28 13:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSitting on the couch, Kaen shifted a few times as he glanced at Hess, who never seemed to move at all.
Fiola was leaning into the corner of her couch, rubbing her eyes with her fingers just as she had been for the last minute after hearing the full details of their report.
“How did the meeting with the guild council members go?” Kaen asked, trying to end the silence.
Lowering her fingers a little, Fiola glared at Kaen with daggers before shaking her head at him.

2023-09-27 13:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“What do you mean you haven’t checked your stats in a while?”
Kaen shrugged and then pointed at Pammon.
“He told me to stop worrying about every increase I gained and to focus on training. Since then, I haven’t paid much attention to anything but my skill points.”
Hess grumbled and nodded as he heard Pammon begin to laugh.
You two and your silly concerns over whose is bigger.
Kaen snorted, caught off guard by Pammon’s comment and how ...
