STORMWEAVER II: Chapter 30 Sneak Peek
Fake smile. Fake laugh. Fake energy. All of it fake.
And Logan could see right through it.
He’d wanted to rush from the railing the moment Viv had been taken away on the stretcher, wanted to sprint for the stairs and be there in the tunnels when she came to. Unfortunately, he’d somehow managed to catch the eye of none other that Major Reese as he’d turned—who hadn’t even bothered to stand from his front-row seat to watch Viv’s match—and the man almost been smirking a...

Hey all! Sorry, still dealing the Dragon Con catch-up and a lot of other stuff you guys will hopefully be excited for! If I don't manage to get Chapter 30 out this afternoon, it'll drop Saturday or Sunday don't worry! I should definitely have 31 out next week, but I will probably need a week break after that due to my best friend's wedding, sorry!
Cheers all!

Don't get too excited, it's nothing crazy. Just a short added POV at the end since some of you guys said there aren't enough cliffhangers in the book so far lololol.
(But actually, this needed to get added for the character's development for the rest of the book.)
PS: Going to do my best to get 30 out Friday, but will depend on how plotting goes for some of the upcoming conflicts. I think I need to tighten my direction for the rest of Sect...
2022-09-13 15:10:53 +0000 UTC View PostGuys. A quick reminder that STORMWEAVER is not a serial novel.
I allowed some flexibility on the "no feedback" rule on yesterday's chapter because I was curious about some things, but given the prevalence of one concern I thought I needed to remind everyone of something important:
Stormweaver is not a serial novel. It is a traditional novel that I am releasing Early Access chapters to, and is not actually meant to be read in a weekly format.

Hey all! So sorry for the delay, but there is a LOT going on on the Wraithmarked back end after Dragon Con that has my whole attention at the moment, so I'm going to have to wait till Sunday to post! It's coming, though, and I'll be doing my best to get back on a more-regular schedule after that!
Plus the stuff we're working on is stuff a lot of you will be excited for, I think... Stormweaver projects and other IPs both 😁

Quick reminder that there will be a gap in chapter drops next Friday while I am at Dragon Con. I'm trying to make the trip as much of a vacation as possible, so I'm going to be avoiding work other than essential tasks and maybe a liiiiiittle bit of writing to keep my momentum up!
So yeah. 28 tomorrow, followed by a 2-week break before 29 dropping on Friday the 8th!
Cheers!

Full Chapter 27 coming later today!
Hey all! Just a quick transparency heads up! I got booked for several meetings back to back this morning I was not expecting, which is going to blow my writing schedule for the day. Having to write this afternoon to finish the chapter and clean up the second half, so while it's definitely coming today, it's going to be later!
Will try to get it out before Europe goes to bed, but not sure if I'll manage it 😔

Hey all! We've decided that if we hit 30k on the Limited Edition playmat Kickstarter, we will be offering a second playmat as an option (or add-on if you want both)! This will mean both playmats will be ever rarer, since there will be fewer of each one than there would have been of one version (250 each vs 500 of one, or something like that)!
However, we need your help on picking an art style! Please let us know what you guys think!

Hey all!
We've seen a jump in Patreon backing since launching the Kickstarter, which we're choosing to attribute to to the Patreon-exclusive signature that's coming with Kickstarter Patreon.
Given how popular this seems to be, do you guys have any requests for Patreon-exclusive perks for backing our Kickstarters? Some ideas we have:

- small signed art prints

1) This is only part of Chapter 27, but the scene hit me hard while on a walk this afternoon and I couldn't NOT write it. The rest of the chapter (the first part, ironically) will be released Friday as per usual as the complete chapter.
2) I DO NOT KNOW IF THE SECOND HALF OF THE SCENE IS GOING TO STAY LIKE THIS. I fucking love it because I think it adds a lot to one of the characters as well as the dynamic of the pair...

Hey all! Posting this today to let you know two things ahead of time:
First, Chapter 26 maybe be dropping Saturday or Sunday, not Friday. That's only cause it's a long one (covering a full Wargames plus some minor plot stuff), so I don't know if I'll finish it by Friday. Don't worry, though, it's coming.
Second, and way ahead of time,...
