First off, I wanted to thank everyone who has sent me something from my Baby Registry!!
Thank you all! AND I finally figured out how to send you all thank you cards, so you will be getting something in the mail! <3

“Sir, sir,” the hostess shouted. “Weapons are not allowed in the restaurant.” She pointed to a sign behind the front desk. Sure enough, it read: NO WEAPONS ALLOWED. A classic Stockton staple.

Hey peeps!
I finally got my ARC books in for Words of Power, AND I have fancy metal coins with the sun and moon on them (for obvious reasons, if you read the book here on Patreon).
Everyone who is Patreon has a chance to receive both a book and a coin! 💪🎉🍾🥂 Also, if you’re part of my newsletter, or in my FB group, I’m offering them there, too! Lots of places, all free, all fun, haha
If you’re in the physical book tiers, I’ll be mailing you books this week...

Hey peeps!
Over on the Patreon Discord, we were having fun talking about mystical creatures, their true form requirements, and other silly things!
Someone recommend we do a Patreon-only "Design a Mystical Creature" contest! The BEST mystical creature will get to be featured in a short story (I'll publish it here, and on my website). o.o
This will NOT include artwork of your creature, nor will it be in one of the mainline books.
Unlike the Kickstarter B...

Akiva was power incarnate.
He was tall, lean, and carved with muscle, every inch of his frame honed like a living weapon. He stood the way Master Elias did: balanced, deliberate, like he carried an invisible sword in every motion. Even ...

I saw fellow authors had fun monthly polls about character artwork (and perhaps things to turn into posters or other fun stuff to give to Patreons) and I wanted to do the same!
I already post a lot of artwork here (and give away posters) but I haven't yet done a poll to see what YOU all want!
So, which book series of mine would you like to see more artwork from? Please pick down below!
ALSO, if you want certain characters, you can always leave a comment!

Chapter Six
We entered the port together, crossing the swaying bridge that spanned the distance between the stadium cloud and the terminal. The exterior of the port was marked by a towering blue edifice, its surface emblazoned with stylized depictions of elongated, oval-shaped airships blasting skyward in plumes of shimmering light.

I wanted to write the first act of this real quick, LOL - there are a lot of funny scenes coming up, and sometimes humor really makes me laugh (and helps me write a ton) so that's why this is here.
This is book 4 of the Chronos Chronicles. If you haven't read it, let me know! I'll hook you up.

Look at the Pillar in the background!

Thank you to everyone who recommended a baby registry and suggestions for said registry. I had no idea these exist! o.o
Amazon apparently has one, and it was so easy to set up. I added like 85 items I think John IV will need (some of these are fun things, like video game themed clothes, lol) and they range from diapers to books to actual furniture.

Chapter Four
“It wasn’t your fault, Hyperion,” I said. “You were against three dragons. And without your arcanist. Not even one of the god-creatures could’ve stood against that.”
A voice, flat and emotionless, cut through the moment. “Hyperion, take this.”
Dario stepped forward, gently pressing the golden caladrius talisman into the drake’s massive flank.
But unlike with Haoy...

Chapter Three
I stared up at the gaping wound in the ceiling, the jagged tear ripped open by Hyperion’s cataclysmic descent and the thunderous flight of four dragons. The sky beyond was dark and bruised, a smear of stars barely visible beyond the drifting smoke and falling ash. Roux’s voice had vanished from my mind, snuffed out like the last flicker of a dying candle. Her magic, so war...

Chapter 2
Aziel sauntered from the room, his twilight dragon trailing behind, dragging Roux like a prize. It was a petty thought, nothing more than a flicker of defiance, but for once, thinking of him as Aziel instead of my father felt right. That man had done nothing for me. Elias was my real father.

A lot of people indicated they wanted a Frith Chronicles poster!
You have to send me your mailing address via messages! If you haven't gotten a poster, it's probably because I don't have your proper mailing address.
Please message me with your address, and I'll mail them out next week!
For everyone who got theirs, I hope you're enjoying! <3

After trying for so long to get pregnant, it’s an incredible joy to finally reach this stage—to go to doctor’s appointments, hear about the baby’s growth, and prepping for the future. It still feels surreal, but I couldn’t be more grateful.

After that, I'll be finalizing the DnD class!
Would you all like to see the class here first? Or do you not care about that? (If no one wants it, I'll just save it for the Kickstarter peeps, but just in case! I want you all to be in on all the loops!)
