The Dead Story: Chapter 4

<< Man, re-reading this old thing makes me cringe. So much of it was absolute garbage. I really had no idea what I was doing at the time...>> 

It was a week later when Recruit Parker returned to his company. With his right arm in a simple sprain bandage it was clear the medical team had a talent for healing enchantment. That or they had some very serious high grade medical supplies. The man was quiet and said nothing about the ordeal but he did seem to throw himself into the t...

Chapter 3

“You are all here under the blessing of our good King Alard! You’ve chosen to pick up a weapon and defend Randir from all who would oppose her, internal or external, living or Shadow! To that end I am instructor Norwood. You may address me as Sergeant, Sergeant Norwood, or instructor Norwood. Company C, D, and E belong to me. Company A and B will be under the loving care of Sergeant Miller. You three companies will be learning the joy of wielding a sword. I don...

Our track record continues

Wild Wastes 2 is a best seller.

Thank you to one and all for your help :)

Writing a book may be a single persons job, but making it the best book it can be, takes a whole heck of a lot more people.

Wild Wastes 2: Doing well!

Seems like the book is doing fairly well.


Though there was a few reviews that seemed to not enjoy the book fully.


I admit i'm confused on why they were sad the harem was growing in... a harem book.


Like complaining about an adventure book having adventure. o_o

C'est la vie.

Wild Wastes 2: Live

Well.

Book is done.

Uploaded to Amazon.

Waiting on them now.

And while it seems somewhat sad to ask...

Leave a review, post about the book in the various facebook groups, forums, friends, anywhere you can?

I could use any and every bit of help you lovely people could give me.

:)

I'll update this page when the book goes live.

The Dead Story: Chapter 2

  

Ridley sighed and stretched his back as he stood up. The trunk was fairly empty but still was not something lightly moved around. Happy with its placement he sat down on his bunk, one of five, in the cabin he would be sharing with his team. After planning countless ways to introduce himself it was all for naught. Being the first to arrive meant he would be the one greeting and giving the tour rather than receiving it. Apparently this wasn’t just a new battalion but an entirely n...

Chapter 1 - What they Understand -

Felix was roughly pushed into the chair.

“Sit,” growled out the heavy set officer.

Looking up at the man with an unamused face Felix laid his hands flat on the table. Sitting there quietly he inspected the room they’d put him...

The Dead Story: Chapter 1

Many of you asked if I started with Otherlife, I didn't.


This story is where I started.


And this I share to you level 3's alone. It'll probably never be finished, but we all started somewhere.


Here's where I did. I hadn't found my own writing style yet, and was exploring.


Please excuse the terribleness. :)

Wild Waste: Chapter 4

  

They’d been escorted into the city when they arrived a few days later. Only after the entire council had sworn a life-oath for his safety and offered him guest rights, of course.

Thera and Eva had both confirmed for him independently that everything was exactly as everyone had stated. If any harm befell Vince or his team, the city would pay dearly as their magic spilled out and took their lives.

Guest rights when sworn with a life-oath and bound with magic were not s...

It was early the next morning that Vince made the call to pack up and go.

Fes plucked at his leather armor and worried at a buckle. Her callused green fingers rechecked, tightened straps, and pulled on attachments.

“Fes, stop,” Vince said softly with a chuckle. He took her hands in his own and gave them a squeeze. “It’s on as tight as it can go and everything is secure.”

“I know. I don’t like you going without me. I’m your Fes. I can’t even send...

Vince stared out at the city from his deck.

Everyone had dinner together and had retreated to whatever tasks they individually needed to complete.

Thera, Eva, Daphne, and Karya had gone back to their rooms to turn in for the night. Fes and Petra had done likewise, having been going to bed earlier as of late.

On his left was Elysia, his right, Meliae.

All the nocturnal species that lived in the city started to move about. Going about whatever job or duty they had.

Chapter 1

Vince sat upright, taking a deep sudden deep breath. His eyes darted around, his brain struggling to catch up.

The fog slowly cleared from his mind. Setting his head back to the wall, he felt his mouth turn up into a small smile.

He was in the school. All around him were desks and chairs of various sizes.

Being such a mixed community his carpenters had built a vast array of chair types to accommodate any race’s progeny.

Hey,


You've probably seen the other poll by now about what genre I should move towards next.


I'm going to take that a step further since you'll be part of the creation process as we begin plotting out direction.


How would you want to participate?

Your interests

What are you interested in knowing about me, my books, or my writing style?

As part of this whole thing, I'm determined to invite you further into my process than most authors would probably be comfortable with.


But we'll need to figure out the path.


So... interests?

Wild Wastes 2

As many of you are aware, and if you're not, surprise, I'm Randi Darren.


Wild Wastes 2 will be going live in the middle of August.


Give or take depending on Amazon.


I'm thinking we'll finish up Wild Wastes 3 and then move to a new series idea for Randi.

Next Series Idea

And now for something... completely different.


Literally.


I'm contemplating which way to go for the next real new series.


I can't keep writing sequels. :D


Give me a hand and let me know your thoughts.

A beginning.

And here we are with the first post to Patreon.


So many of you suggested it, so we're giving it a try.


I wonder if it'll turn out? Maybe not.


Who knows!
