Eternal Night (Short Story Exclusive)

So, for my exclusive Advanced + Master tier patrons, here's a look at a short story that I had worked on. This is a VR basted LitRPG that I worked on that is set in a Vampire run world. :)

Help! Writer's Block

So... I might be stuck with what to write for the Hidden Wishes series book 2. I mean, I know the start (written) and I know my end, I even know roughly the theme. Everything in the middle is a GIANT blank.

None of which are that great for dictation software.

Anyway, if you're also like me and spent your youth wrecking your hands being on the computer too much (I...

Amusing thoughts on the English Language

There's a giant discussion going on in one of the FB groups about the usage of a word and whether it was colloquial, correct in certain circumstances or just plain wrong.

I haven't commented on it and I won't. Mostly because I'm lucky to be able to string a sentence together that is grammatically correct. I constantly rely on spellcheckers to fix my spelling and worse (worst?) have certain word foibles.

Part of that is because I never learnt proper grammar. The joy of South East Asia edu...

Thanks for Joining!

Thank you to everyone who's joined the Patreon so far. I'm touched so many of you have done so from a single post and nothing on my backpage. I'll have to get around to editing and adding them soon.

Reviews from beta readers for Book 5 are coming in. I should see most of them done by the end of this week, with some minor changes after that. Question for the patrons then for release of the book:

- do you want it now (before beta reader comments come back)
