March 2021- Right of Retribution 2

Right of Retribution 2 is live. Share it with every group you can think out there that would want to know!

You can find it at the bottom of this post via link!

I hope you enjoy the book, and as always, I'll never pass up the opportunity to ask you to review the book as well.

If you liked the book and felt it worth it, I'd love it if you could drop five star reviews on it. :D

Without reviews, Amazon will essentially stop showing the book to other people.

Swing Shift Compilation -2nd Epilogue

((Don't read this till you're done with Swing Shift 3. It will absolutely ruin the story for you. This will be converted to a lower tier at a later time))


With a long, pained, and bored sigh, Eugenia tilted her head to one side.

Watching the portal slide open, she felt like it was taking far too long. Taking too long and wasting her time. Time which could be spent fighting Zeus.

Crossing her arms in front of herself, she dug her fingers in. Her foot started to tap...

January-2021: Mid month News

Heyo! Mid month news post:

First, The Swing Shift Omnibus should go up in a day or two. I'll update with a new post when it does.

Second, I hope to have RoR2 ready for February, but it might not happen. I'm not willing to rush a book just to get it to market. If it takes longer, it takes longer. Sorry, not sorry.

I won't compromise on my own personal belief in a books quality just to get it out sooner.

I release every book as soon as possible, so long as I'm happy with...

MM3 -CH3-

We made a mistake. We fled far too quickly.

It’s not as if we would know better.

Chewing at the inside of his cheek Rene continued to walk onward through the grass. Distantly ahead of them, he could see what looked like a walled city.

They were heading towards the capital of Maluun. A place called Naes that was where the lord of the land resided. Somewhere that Sally recently shouldn’t be going at all, but that they had to go to.

MM3 -Ch2-

Rene had the distinct feeling of traveling through a space.

A black void of nothing that also somehow felt like a bridge. One made out of impossibility and defiance of the rules.

Connecting two points that weren’t supposed to be connected.

As if there were a wooden walkway between the moon and mount Everest. Except it existed and was completely viable.

And Rene was traveling on it.

There’s… something more to this.

I agree. There...

----By request, MM3 instead of RoR.----

Looking from woman to woman, Rene found that by and large they all had a different look on their face.

Irini was amused, the Alis assassin’s wide smile and electric-blue eyes with their slit like pupils were fastened to him. She was watching him as a predator with a cornered animal might.

Her short, dark-brown hair that was nearly black was pinned back behind her head tightly, which forced her triangular cat-like ears to be quite pro...

Why the new pen name?- Answering the question.

Because there are people like this in the world-

"Why on gods green earth would I want to read a book where the main male character is a 5 foot 6 inch wimp. I read these books to see a main character that I want to be. For fun an escapism. I really wish the author would have put in the description that the "women were men and the men were women". I understand the desire to write something different. I really do. Just not this. If you want to read a book where and I quote "Additionally,...

Reversal - Honor of Duty

Well.

The great experiment has been unleashed.

A story of a man who will do all he can to live his own life, while preserving his own honor and ideals.

I once again caution you on this book. It has a background very similar to Remnant, where men are not the dominant sex. Though this isn't as dark or depressing as Remnant or as pessimistic with the treatment of men in society.

The MC is certainly no worm. He is not a coward nor a push-over.

No "beta male" as so ma...

Yep. Changed it.

I'm sure there will be those who don't like it, those who do, and those who say it doesn't look like Tala.

Honor of Duty- Blurb

Phillip had spent his life living by his mother’s code of honor. One she had instilled in not just him but her household staff, her soldiers under her command as a general, and all his siblings.

One that called to the familial bonds and the importance of putting those above all else. Second only to the land and the crown.

If he was being honest with himself, Phillip valued that code of honor. It was something the Curis family was known for. An honorable military family led by a ...

RoR 2 -CH3-

Knocking with the back of his knuckles on Bodil’s door Warner felt rather odd.

Most especially since the raven on his shoulder clearly had a special bond with her owner. He wasn’t quite sure of it, but he was nearly certain that there was communication between the two. At some level Bodil knew what Siv wanted her to know, and vice versa.

That could very easily mean that Bodil was already aware of his intentions.

“Good, Warner,” Siv said, nuzzling him once again. “L...

Leveling the pistol Warner pulled the trigger.

With a bang the man’s head became misshapen and he collapsed to the ground. Blood began to pool around his head and shoulders rapidly.

The sense of satisfaction at clearing injustice from the world once again filled it. Soothed his soul and filled his mind with thoughts of pushing the world back into balance.

“That it?” asked a voice from behind him.

“Yes. Their scales have been righted. They will now be judged in ...

Letting his hand fall to his side after knocking on the door, Warner wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Being invited out to dinner was one thing, being invited to someone’s home for dinner was something altogether different.

Given that Daria had seen no futures of Jenny up to this point, it had set their group into a bit of a mad dash to learn what they could.

Madison the Troll mostly kept Maya company while Bodil, Aelia, Daria, and Warner had combed the internet, ca...

Settling in- Almost done

Hello!

I'm... dreadfully sorry for the lack of updates and chapters.

I feel really guilty when I don't post chapters but you're all supporting me. Its like a guilty itch inside.

Well, with any luck, I should be back to writing full time next week. They just need to stabilize my internet and we'll be good to go.

As an apology for all the lack of... well... everything.

Here's the cover for Reversal. Which includes the title and the new pen name.

Strange Days

Hey everyone,

I'll be moving tomorrow, which means I'll probably be out of touch for a week or two.

I'm going to post every chapter I can of reversal tonight, and update all the listings.

When I get back up and running, hopefully I can start posting new chapters of new books :D

Additionally, MM2 is going to end up dropping today, rather than the 7th.

I can't trust that I'll get the opportunity to load the book on the 7th so I'm not going to run the risk.

New pins.

Hey folks.

New month, new stuff, new pins.

We're nearly back on track with our chapter a day release schedule. Shouldn't be an issue.

Also, I had a number of new pins made. For the series' that didn't have them, as well as just some interesting badges that I'd had made.

Those will start becoming available as rewards this month.

Beyond that, we're starting to consider alternatives to the pins.

We'll likely start having posters made, either of the ba...

Heya!

So, everything is still moving along.

Still working out our new family dynamics with the new daughter.

Things are returning to normal albeit slowly.

I've also gotten in new pins for some of the new series/plots. I'll be updating the pin list probably next month.

Rene was quite glad to be heading for the guild house for the Mask, the Tramp’s Tail.

Dinner with his family and his brides had been polite.

Not to mention stiff, uncomfortable, overly formal, and lacking in familial feeling.

Considering Aurora was meeting everyone for the first time, and everyone else was meeting his family for the first time, it’s wasn’t a surprise to him in the end that everyone was somewhat uncomfortable.

That said, it hadn...

Dropping down from the roof Rene landed with a soft pat in front of Aurora’s kitchen window. Without even considering what he was doing, he sank down in a crouch. Becoming little more than a shadow upon her wall.

A forgotten patch of grass in her yard.

Sighing, he contemplated how he wanted to do this.

As far as he could figure, there was no easy way to go about this. There was the distinct possibility this would cost him Aurora. That she’d want absolu...

Standing there, Rene looked from the women in his life, to his family, then back again. Eventually the laughter the Watcher slowly died away.

His mother, Bernadette, had a rather knowing smile on her face. Her light-brown hair was pulled back behind her head in a single braid, her brown-eyes watching him for several seconds before she looked to her husband, Clement.

Dressed in matching colors to his wife, the man was handsome in his later years. A dignified and ...

Patreon Pins- August and September

Hey everyone.

As some of you knew, my wife has been handling the patreon pins. In fact, she's the one who's been contacting you in patreon for your addresses.

She's also quite pregnant at the moment. We're more or less due any day now and just waiting for the arrival.

She doesn't really have the energy to do the pins this month, or likely next month.

Please expect a slight delay in the pins being shipped accordingly. They will still go out as if there had been no d...
