- Beginning of the End -

“Good morning,” Lauren said, looking down from the palace balcony. Her bright blue eyes tracked from person to person in the crowd As if she were talking to each and every citizen.

The roar of the crowd was intense in response. No one in Dungeon had ever forgotten that Lauren had deployed her royal guards to defend the town from an invasion, when there was no hope for success.

She was wearing a perfect dress for the occasion th...

Dungeon Deposed 2 - Out now

Allo!

March update for time.

Dungeon Deposed 2 is live. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PBDKKHF 

The audiobook is "Eventually" though Andrea already has the book.

Fostering Faust 2 did very well, and seems like many people enjoyed it.

The audiobook is looking like mid March, late March. Depends on Audible itself.

Next up in the hopper for 4/1 is Remnant. A Randi Darren novel.

FF3 -CH3-

Valeria had practically jumped off his lap and started walking toward his bedroom.

“Why… why do you want to do this to One?” Valeria asked. “I kind of understand it from my own point of view but she doesn’t like to be hurt. Does she?”

Getting up, Alex had to adjust himself in his pants. Valeria had surprised him by sitting in his lap. It’d certainly done wonders to perk his spirits right up, so to speak.

“No. She doesn’t. But I think she ...

FF3 -CH2-

Getting out of the carriage, Alex took in a deep breath and let it out.

It was good to be back in Brit.

Even if it was so late at night it might as well be the next morning. Then again, Rebekah, Sylvia, and Eleanor had all slept with him in a pile in the middle of the carriage. They’d gotten out at the gate though to start tending to their duties.

“Alex,” Carla said, stepping up to him from around the corner of the carriage.

Turning, he smiled ...

FF3 -CH1-

Alex groaned and sat down in the chair that’d been put out for him.

His leg felt considerably better, but it didn’t feel like it was completely healed either.

“Are you alright, Count?” asked king Harold.

“Leg still hurts,” Alex grumbled, getting comfortable in the chair. At least it was padded and he could shift around in it. Finally, he gave up, and just extended his recently broken leg out to one side.

Instantly it felt better.

“Ah, yes. Can you t...

New books!

Howdy everyone.

As some of you have been expecting, we're at our cut point for the current three books. I try to make the jump at the point that the last arc really starts. We've got maybe one chapter left of the Farm. Maybe two.

After those get posted on Monday, we'll be starting up with three new novels.

Fostering Faust 3, Dungeon Deposed 3(this won't start till after the 1st though), and a new series, tentatively called IncInc.

We should be back to 2 chapters ev...

I hope you like it.

Happy Holidays-(Not the January monthly Post)

To you and yours. I wish you happy holidays.

May you enjoy your time with them, eat far too much food, swear it all off, and make broken promises about going to the gym in 2019.

From me personally... I say... thank you. To each and every one of you who took the time out to send me a friend request, and to read these updates.

DD2 -CH3-

- Orders and Promotions -

Ryker was on his way back to his throne room again.

In the end, Wynne had wanted more from him, but had been too tired to do anything. For which he was secretly grateful. He didn’t want to test out the stamina potion Meino had suggested, just to have it fail.

Wynne had practically chapped his lips though with how much she kissed him. Right up until he tucked her into her bed and she immediately passed out.

“That was sweet,...

DD2 -CH2-

- Rules -

Diane had set off back for her own private room. Looking far more settled than he thought she’d be.

I don’t think I would’ve taken it as well if I were in her position.

Then again, she has a very different mindset than I do. I’m a trained wizard become farmer turned Dungeon. She’s been raised her whole life to be a Duchess. One just like her mom.

That’d put a different strain on anyone, wouldn’t it? 2018-12-14 16:01:37 +0000 UTC View Post

 Reliving It -

Ryker woke up slowly. He hurt. Hurt all over. It was if every part of his body had at least an ache, and some had more.

Groaning, he began to slowly stretch himself out. His body refused his commands at first, screeching at him and his attempts.

Especially his side where Claire had stabbed him. That was an especially tender point for him right now. For reasons not entirely focused on the wound and the pain.

Squeez...

The Farm -CH3-

Holding tight to the watering-can, Steve stormed off into his field. He needed to water all his plants.

Grabbing the shovel and hoe as he walked by his supplies, Steve was determined to not return back to the cabin till Misty left.

He was reconsidering the way he’d acted to the Nereid. Nikki scolding him has resonated in his head for some reason. It made him anxious.

Anxious and mad at himself.

She’s a damn fish.

I could have eaten her.

SS -CH3-

Breadcrumbs  

Gus was steadily working through his waffle when he felt his phone start vibrating in his pocket.

Reaching down with his left hand he pulled it free and glanced down at it.

Of course it’s Mark.

Swiping the accept button, Gus pressed it to his ear.

“What’s up, boss?” Gus said, looking at Vanessa.

She gave him a pretty smile that was equal parts “I told you so” and saccharine sweet.

“Hey Gus...

The Farm -CH2-

Steve sat bolt upright.

Panting at a dream he couldn’t remember, he looked around himself.

Memories of yesterday came back to him quickly enough though. Especially so since he had no memories of anything else to go to.

Looking down to the side, he found the goat woman next to him.

Nikki. Not goat woman. Nikki.

She was curled up close to where he’d been laying down, apparently looking to share what warmth he had.

Before he cou...

Swing Shift -CH2-

Partner Up

A loud and lively chime dragged Gus up from a deep sleep.

Prying his eyes open he managed to glare at the offending device. His cell phone, sitting on the wireless charger across from him on the dresser.

Buzzing, chiming, and happily throwing flashing lights around, it was an annoying monster Gus wanted to destroy.

Groaning, he rolled out of bed, and stumbled over. Snatching it up he tried to thumb the alarm off.

The Farm (CH1)

-Darren Novel. GameLIT type-

  Steve blinked twice and looked around himself. He was standing in the middle of what looked like a dirt field.

To the west of the field looked to be the start of a forest. In the south, a decently sized lake. To the north and east were empty fields of grass.

“Where the hell am I?” Steve asked.

Looking down at himself, he could see he was wearing a black windbreaker, brown shirt, dark blue jeans, and work boots.

“Just what e...

Cold Coffee

Groaning, Gus rubbed at his eyes. No matter how much he ground his fingers in though, it wouldn’t change the view.

Sighing, he leaned his head back and stared up at the ceiling above him.

The view there wasn’t much better honestly. Unless you liked the stucco perfect squares you found in office buildings.

Getting to his feet Gus went over to the coffee machine and wrapped it with a knuckle. Th...

Onward!

Now the real work begins.

As a full time author, we're going to start burning the writing.

The plan is to have 3 books written at the same time.

I'm kinda having weird thoughts on how to do the early chapters.

If I released 1 chapter of each book at the same time, that might be confusing? Or would it be more interesting to have 2 chapters of 1 book, then the next day 2 chapters of the next book, then 2 chapters, etc, etc,

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Dec 2018- Post CC Release

Cultivating Chaos seems like it's doing well. Please be sure to leave a review if you enjoyed it.

Audible is dragging their feet on the Audiobook, unsurprisingly.

Blaise should get Asgard Awakening out by the third of Dec.

Fostering Faust 2 is... done. Beta reader invites will be going out later. The selection process has changed and has no bearing on Patron status.

I've gone full time author. Starting the 3rd of December i'll be seeing how many books I can write at t...

Cultivating Chaos

Alright folks.

Cultivating Chaos is apparently live already in the eastern united states, and is heading west.

This is a Kindle Unlimited book, of course. I do love KU.

This book is officially... a go. Spread the word, spread the link, tell every group, push it to every platform. Let's show everyone a western Wuxia with an ACTUAL Harem.

Post it everywhere, and leave your honest reviews. Lol.

With that being said, it's probably time for some more details now...

Dec 2018 - Cultivating Chaos

Alright. It's circling around enough that I guess I should speak to it.

Yes.

Cultivating Chaos is already up for pre-order. December 1st is our go live. 

Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KFLSC27

And before people start asking, the audiobook is -already- done, and is loaded. With any luck, it'll go live the same day as the kindle book.

Same with the...

Mid November- Where are we?

Allo!

We're about 18 days out from Cultivating Chaos becoming available on Amazon. That being December 1st.

This is the 1st book that I've written in the VeilVerse. This is a separate universe than the Sovereign-verse.

The Audiobook (done by Andrea Parsneau) will be available on the same day. Or at least as close as we can get it.

To those who don't know, this is my "Wuxia" novel. It should be... interesting. :)

Next: Super Sales - Omnibus edition. It's for sale now: 2018-11-12 23:24:41 +0000 UTC View Post

What if...

I wrote a book without a harem. Would you be disappointed?
I'm asking in all seriousness.

Flip me your opinions at the bottom. :)

Minor Edit: There would of course be a romance element.

Omnibus-Only Epilogue

Her first visit here had been a long time ago. It had been little more than a military enclave back then.

It’d even been called Fort One. Now she saw banners everywhere. The city ...
