Some Site Changes are coming...

I've been talking with Jack Braxton, a fellow who does some writing and Patreon. He's offered to help me set up the new novel starting shortly for Tier 7 people so that it is on Patreon rather than Google Docs, adding a List of Contents, and shuffling the Patreon-only content over to here.

So, if all goes well, the site should get a new banner, the pricing structure should be easier, and everything should get more streamlined by someone who knows what they are doing.

Just be aware...

Don't subscribe to Patreon with Apple.

If you plan on doing a Patreon subscript, use another system.

Apple charges a 30% premium to process Patreon payments, which means a $5 subscription pops instantly to 8$.

This won't affect anyone who subscribed previously, but will on an ongoing basis going forward. Don't use Apple ioS!

Hey Everyone! They actually drafted on a Saturday, so no delays!

February was a good month, and we're up over the limit! Hlaeth chapters 36 to 40 are in the Hlaeth folder for Patrons!

View Post

We are comfortably over $1500 for the month!

I will have the next set of Hlaeth Chapters up shortly! Thanks to everyone who is supporting me, I do appreciate it!

Happy New Years, and a new month!

Up over the $1500 breakpoint comfortably, so I'll have new Hlaeth chapters up in a few minutes!

Thanks for everyone's support! Just so you know, this month's check pays for my auto and renter's insurance, in addition to my rent and Xmas stuff :P January is a nasty month for bills for me, as I'm sure it is for a lot of you...

Merry Christmas, all.

Having a white Christmas here in Michigan, hope you enjoy your Hannukah or Kwaanza or Solstice or whatever your holiday experience is.

I've added a story connection to all folders, 'A Day in the Life of Aelryinth.'

This takes place in approximately Year Eight, and follows Ael during a typical day. As you might guess, the puttering Archmage who basically does a whole lot of not much every day, only leaping into action in reaction to emergencies, is NOT what Ael does for a living. ...

Looks like we're over the limit heading into December! :)

Phew! New Hlaeth Chapters 21-25 are up in the folder for my Patreon supporters! Thanks for your help!

It's an American Holiday, but not a religious one...

And the spirit carries across all cultures.

So, thanks for your help and support this year for my novels! They shall continue for the forseeable future, and your help and support makes it all possible!

Two thumbs up for my supporters, and enjoy your Turkey Day!

Hlaeth Chapters 16-20 up and posted for my faithful Patrons!

Unduly powerful mage walking around talking with Wyrms. Yes, it's a first for Ael, too...

Just how would a D&D Wyrm respond to a human spellcaster who can Cast at 50?

Ebook Six has been uploaded with formatting fixes!

We're still looking for other errors, but the chapter doubling and the wordmashing should all be gone. Please download again to get the corrected version.

Ebook Six is uploaded to Kindle and going through Review as I post this...

It has been a long, hard slog on this. Casey has been battling some major Health issues, and something she normally would have had done in a few weeks instead stretched out until today... and she told me to tell you all that it is still rough by her standards. If she can find the time and stay healthy, we may reupload another document in the future. i will be sure to post to everyone if I do so.

It's almost 2 AM, but given the last few books, it should be up on Monday here.

We were close enough this month that with the loss last month I'm putting in the new Hlaeth chapters.

They'll be up in a couple minutes in the Hlaeth folder.

July was very light this year...

The monthly amount was $1308 for July, so no five bonus chapters. Not to worry, I'll keep writing them, so they'll be waiting for next month and beyond!

Well, got a rude surprise I heard about before, but had forgotten about...

I've had several people tell me they won't buy my book because they can't/won't read online or on a reader. They have to have a paperback novel.

Well, that's not that hard to do (my editor said it's a few settings on the Vellum layout), so I thought 'sure'.

Amazon really shafts hard printing for the authors.

Basically, what happens is all the print costs get taken out of the Author's share of the price of the book. So, let's say a 400 page book is about $6 in printing costs....

The $1500 limit was met, so we've five more exclusive Patreon Chapters posting!

Aelryinth in Hlaeth may end up being a bit longer than the other exclusives, as I've written several short stories about his time there. It is set between Worlds Zeks and Funf out in Creation, still quite far away... but Mithar has a long eye for problems, and this one requires some definite skillz and power to address properly.

The folder of Aelryinth in Hlaeth is in the Public Folder, and there should be links in each Patreon subscriber folder as well!

We are over the $1500 limit for the month of June...

So, posting the final chapters, 41-45, to Aelryinth in the Warpworld!

April was a Good Month, Tax Time aside!

March was a tough month for people, it seems...

It's also been our worst month for the previous two years.

We didn't reach the $1500 contribution limit, so Ael and the Warpworld will take a month's hiatus. Have no fear, I'll continue to write to the story, and cross my fingers for next month!

Book Six (First Month, Part Two) of the Ebooks is in the process of having the cover made (significant delays there!) and the editor is arranging the book itself, seeing if we can make it all the way to day 30 for Book Two, or if I might n...
