Maxwell has turned eighteen, and his seminormal life is upended when he is confronted by a stranger, most notably... he is confronted by a demon.  Not one intending to harm him, rather 'Ashmedai' explains that thanks to a mixup in the divine realm, Hamilton was assigned a Guardian Demon rather than the traditional Guardian Angel... and the demon has de...

The Strongest in the World

A little about this one:  When I was writing about Gottfried & Iris for 'Who Endures' I couldn't help but think that these were some amazing characters who deserved so much more than what they really got.  So, for this, I have reimagined them, though they meet under similar conditions.  Iris Valoisin remains the daughter of a traitorous house of a defeated city.

Gottfried Baraja has become 'Gottfried Jabara' Prince of the Jabarian Empire, nephew of the Emperor throug...

There's a lot to be added here... but won't be 'just yet'.  I have another chapter to do, and then the ENTIRE book 'Countdown' my first completed original work, will be available for download on discord before I have it moved to Amazon.

So, rather than give you the chapters in pieces, you'll get them all at once... just give me another day or three to wrap it up.

So what's next?

Volume III of 'The One Who Stayed' will be written nearly daily, and you can expect regular updates here for that.  The Lizardman arc is going to go very differently now as a direct result of the actions of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Volume IV of 'The One Who Stayed' will center around the dwarven arc, and the ripple effect of changes will mean a different result there as well, though I'd be lying if I were to say I don't plan on making Runecraft an important aspect of things, it's simply to...

Royal Road Writathon

So I'm participating in the Royal Road Writathon this year.  For those who don't know, that's a challenge where you try to write 55,555 words in 5 weeks time.  I plan on finishing it in roughly two weeks or better, ideally about ten days, but I do have to work full time still, so two weeks is more likely.

My submission is an original story I've entitled, 'Countdown'.
