WIEDEGERBURT Act V: Chapter 6

The days passed as they traveled toward Midgard. During this time, I took the role of driving the carriage since Kari and Fay were training with Erica, Karen, and Janet every day.

They only trained in the morning, but the rest of their time was spent teaching the three women what they knew of Spiritualism.

Fay had also taken over my role as their alchemist. After I refined the first batch of pills, she had decided to begin refining the rest from now on. That meant I was more or le...

Next Month's Patreon Art - WIP

I hired Michiroon for next month's Patreon art. She did some Lin artwork for me awhile back. It was the beach scene. This time, I have her doing some romantic/erotic art of Eryk and Fay. Hope you guys like it!

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 5

For the first time in a long time, Kari woke up early.

Kari did not like getting up early. She preferred sleeping for as long as possible, until it was her turn to drive the wagon. However, this day, she woke up at the same time as Fay and Eryk.

Sitting up in bed, she stretched her body, lifting her arms above her head and listening to her back as it cracked. A groan escaped unbidden from her mouth. She brought her hands back down and rubbed her eyes, hoping to rid them of sleep.<...

August Art Update

I got more art from MITSU. She sent me this update today, and I figured I would share it.

Kari is looking really damn fine. No joke. This might be one of my favorite pieces so far.

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 4

Seeing Erica so close made me feel nostalgic. This woman had always been one of mine and Kari’s closest friends. The two of us had gone on so many adventures with her, faced life and death with her, and even traveled to another realm with her. It would not be a stretch to say she was like a sister to us.

Of course, the current Erica did not even know me.

“Eryk? What an unusual coincidence. Your name is quite close to mine.” Despite the situation she found herself in, what al...

This Month's Patreon WIP

MITSU sent this to me not long ago. She is doing the art for this month's Patreon.

Because she was busy earlier, it took longer for her to get started, so the art will be delivered around the 20th instead of the first.

August 2nd Newsletter

We aren't quite halfway through the month, but because I am now posting chapters every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, I figured this would be the best time to make some announcements.

My first announcement is to let everyone know that I am now selling American Kitsune stickers on my online store. You can find them by clicking on the highlighted section of this paragraph. This is the first in a line ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 3

I found myself waking up and eating breakfast with my family early the next morning. A basket of freshly baked bread was sitting in the center of our round table, and a bowl of light soup sat in front of me, Fay, and Kari. Siv and Lin did not have soup. Instead, they were devouring several racks of ribs, which I had requested the chef of the Warrior’s Refuge make. They should be coming out with the next serving of ribs soon…

“I wish you two could be a little more quiet when you’...

Man Made God 002: Cover

I just finished making the paperback cover for Man Made God 002.

And here it is.

What do you all think?

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 2

Vhan looked the same as I remembered it. The massive city built around an inactive volcano was just as crowded as the last time I visisted, with people from all walks of life traveling through it. Sights, sounds, and smells that couldn’t be found in Nevaria or the Endless Desert invaded my senses from every direction.

“Such a large city! Darling! Darling! This city is so big!”

To my right, Lin was grabbing my arm with one hand while pointing at the massive structures with th...

Man Made God 001 - Audiobook Live

The audiobook for Man Made God 001 is now live on Audible. It's not up on iTunes yet, but it should be eventually. You can find it by following the link below.

If you enjoy the series and want to hear more audiobooks, please consider writing a review. Audiobooks are super expensive to produce. I need to make sure I won't go broke paying for some...

Discord Link

So my Discord link apparently expired...because I'm an idiot and didn't know how to properly make it last forever.

Here is a new Discord link. It should last forever this time. Anyone from my Patreon who wants to join is free to do so. I hope you all enjoy talking to other people of culture who share your passion for fun stories.

WIEDERGEBURT Act V: Chapter 1

The Northern Plains was just as I remembered it. Unlike the arid Endless Desert, with its unbearable heat, the Northern Plains possessed a much milder climate. Temperatures didn’t get very high anywhere here unless it was near one of the active volcanoes, but those were located either much further north or toward the archipelago much further east of here.

We had just left the Endless Desert behind not ten days ago, and I could no longer see any sign of it when I turned around. Most of...

1st August Patreon Newsletter

It's the start of the new month and there's a lot I would like to share. There's good news and bad news. Let's start with the good news.

I have begun releasing chapters of my other upcoming stories to Yuki-Onna Patrons. I've started with Man Made God 002 because this book will be released sometime in early September. Chapters will be posted every Tuesday and Friday, so it has a similar update schedule as WIEDERGEBURT. If you read 001, you'll notice some in-game mechanics and stats that ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 22

“Look at that! Raul’s crawling! Look at how good you are at moving! Come here, Raul! Let daddy hold you!”

The wagon moved along the sand dunes, but I hardly noticed as I sat on the floor with my legs crossed and held my hands out to Raul as he crawled toward me. I was so proud of my son. He’d be coming up on three months now, which wasn’t very old, and he was already learning how to move.

Kayli had been the same way.

Didn’t that mean all my kids were destined to ...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 21

After rescuing Qawuin and healing him with the water element, myself, Siv, and Qawuin traveled back to Muqadas. The guards at the main entrance to the city were shocked when they saw us, but they were also relieved. Tears sprang to the eyes of the two guards as they rushed over to us.

“C-Commander Qawuin! Sir! You’re alive!”

“We heard you’d been killed by Demon Beasts, sir!”

“I’m not sure who is spreading that rumor, but I can assure you, they are wrong,” Q...

American Kitsune Manga Sketches - Pages 13-19

Here are some more sketches for the manga. Kirsten is currently obsessing over the rich people mansions in the last sketch she delivered before, which is why these are a little late.

WIEDERGEBURT 5 - Cover

First, I want to thank everyone who reviewed WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior volume 4 on Amazon. Thanks to you guys, this series is reaching more readers. I hope this series can pave the way for future American light novelists and make the harem genre more mainstream.

Second...

LOOK AT THIS AMAZING COVER ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?!

For real though. Mykel really delivered on this cover. It is incredible.

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 20

“You idiot!!!”

Isotep roared at the man who knelt deferentially on the ground, trembling before him. There was nothing remarkable about this man. He looked the same as any other person from the Endless Desert. Behind him, also trembling, were two other people--both men who, like the one in front, refused to speak.

“I gave your group one task! Follow Eryk Veiger and discover why he is here! Do not engage in combat and only act if you are completely certain you can capture the...

WIEDERGEBURT 5 - WIP

With volume 4 finished, my editor and artist are now working on volume 5.

Here is the WIP for the cover so far. I decided that since Eryk is getting his harem in this volume, I needed to include all the current harem members.

I think they look pretty damn good, don't you?

WIEDERGEBURT 4 - Live

I had a lot of issues with my newest book launch.

I sent my newsletter a day early.

I forgot to check the KDP box that would put WIEDERBUGERT 4 on Kindle Unlimited.

Needless to say, there were a lot of problems.

But I am pleased to announce that WIEDERGEBURT: Legend of the Reincarnated Warrior volume 4 is now live on Amazon for paperback, kindle, and kindle unlimited. I hope everyone who grabs a cop...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 19

It was late at night. I stood outside with Qawuin, staring at the stars as he and I shared a drink. I wasn’t sure what kind of alcohol we were drinking, but it had a nice burn as it went down my throat, and it warmed my insides as it spread through my body. Behind me came the sounds of chatter from Jasmine, Qawuin’s and Neisha’s daughter.

“So you’re really a dragon?! That’s so neat!”

“W-well…”

“Hey! Hey! What kind of powers do you have?! You’re really...

2nd July 2020 Newsletter

I've got some bad news.

First things first, new chapters have been updated for WIEDERGEBURT. You can find them on the WIEDERGEBURT Index. 

I am not sure how many of you are readers of Japanese light novels, but something very serious is happening over on Amazon right now--something that could affect my entire career as an author and has precipitated this newsletter and some changes I have to make t...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 18

I sat in the bar with Siv early the next morning, as the sun was climbing into the sky. The air had yet to truly warm up. Since it was so cold and I didn’t want Siv to catch a chill, I was having her sit on my lap. Her cute little butt was rubbing against me as she sat with her wings against my chest.

The only real issue I had with Siv snuggling against me like this was her tail and wings, which were big enough to cause some problems. Her tail was currently hanging off to the side. It...

Man Made God 001Live

Man Made God 001 is now live on Amazon. Be sure to grab a copy, read it, and if you feel like helping this series reach more readers, please write up a review that is THICCer than Kari's thighs.  I would greatly appreciate the help.

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 17

I spent most of the night healing the injured. While we had responded quickly enough that there were very few fatalities, it did not mean there were no casualties. Quite a few people had been hurt. Those people who invaded the lamia city had snuck inside by traveling beneath the sand and attacking when they were practically under our feet--or our tails. Once I finished using my water element to heal everyone, Queen Medusa had Aliya direct us back toward our room inside of the palace.

I ...

I think I've shown these before, but these are the current main characters for Man Made God.

July 2020 Newsletter

I'm so behind on this newsletter it's not even funny.

So...lots of stuff going on this month. There actually is a lot happening, which is why I am just now getting to this newsletter. Well, that and I tried to take a week-long break last week. I probably shouldn't have. I get so far behind when I take breaks.

First off, Man Made God 001 is coming out in...4 days and counting. It's currently on pre-order for Amazon and...

WIEDERGEBURT Act IV: Chapter 16

Jahin pushed up the large door. The door flipped up and hit the ground with a smack. Dust flew everywhere as he emerged from the stairwell and traveled into the cool night air. Shivering as he lifted the door and set it back on the entrance to the secret passage embedded in the ground, he took a moment to orient himself.

Behind him was the lamia city, which he could just see thanks to several fires used to light the city.

Lamia didn’t normally leave their homes at night. It was ...
