2021-04-26 04:14:15 +0000 UTC View PostJust a friendly reminder to all Patrons that if you miss a week, or Patreon bugs out (which happens more than it should) you can find every chapter for any current works on Patreon at the belowTOC link.
My very first audiobook is released today, and despite all the things that seem to be catching on fire around me, this is some much-needed good news!
I'm typing all this up on my phone, so I'll keep it short and sweet.
You can find the audiobook here: https://www.audible.com/pd/1774247453
I'd deeply appreciate it if you could leave a rating/review once you've finished. It helps immensely!
... 2021-01-27 04:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostI've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating: ratings and reviews are the lifeblood of any author, whether they're just getting started (like me) or they're well-established. To that end, I'd really appreciate it if you haven't given Beastborne: Exiled Lands a rating/review yet, to please do so whenever you have a spare moment.
You don't need to purchase the book in order to review it (you've already read it, and support me here after all), just go 2020-10-31 23:26:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Beastborne: Exiled Lands (Beastborne Chronicles, Book 2) is finally live on Amazon! http://mybook.to/beastborne2
If you finished with the book, I would *deeply* appreciate it if you could give it a rating/review. You don't need to buy it on Amazon in order to leave a review. Not that I'm going to stop you if you want to! Share it with your friends, social media, and anywhere you think people might enjoy a good book.

2020-10-26 22:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostMondays has always been the day I started posting Beastborne, even way back in 2019 (about 4 lifetimes ago by 2020 reckoning) when I posted multiple times a week. So the fact that I kept posting on Monday has always been a bit of a tradition I guess.
And like all good traditions, it bears re-evaluating from time to time!
So, this poll is your chance to decide what days you prefer chapter releases to be on. This is mostly for Beastborne, but I'll also use the data from the poll to ...
2020-10-25 22:42:18 +0000 UTC View PostTook A LOT longer than I had originally intended, but it's finally upon us! The second book of Beastborne Chronicles is finally ready and in its shiny ebook package.
For those nerds (like myself!) who are interested, the 2nd Beastborne Chronicles comes in weighing a hefty 320,392 words. By comparison, the 1st book of Beastborne Chronicles is (still a respectable) 288,523 words.
That brings the series as whole up to a total of: 608,915 words. Not counting Book 3's ...

Here's the second cover for Beastborne Chronicles. I've been meaning to share this for ages but work's been hectic lately with additional shifts being mandated left and right.
I think this has got to be one of my favorite covers so far. Though I'm super partial to Pyresoul's as well, hmm. It's at least a tie!
Book 2 Release Update: Work has been a little more hectic than usual so it's taken me a lot longer than I originally planned to get the second book out but i...
2020-10-19 19:03:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis poll is due entirely to the $2,500 goal that was hit. Due to that, I am able to cut down my hours working my day job. This means for as long as support remains at that level, I can spend more time on writing. This is my first step major milestone along the path to becoming a full-time author and I cannot thank you all enough for continuing to support me!
With that being said, this poll is to gauge what kinds of things you would like to see me do with this extra time. You’re allow...

Hey all, for those not on discord:
I am currently having some serious computer issues atm. I'm working on getting things operational and no work has been lost but my ability to post chapters is significantly hampered.

2020-07-02 20:01:42 +0000 UTC View PostA brief foreword before we get into the first chapter!
This is going to be a lot different than Beastborne. Firstly, this was conceived and developed as a novel first and foremost. It’s much less slice-of-life and as a result, considerably shorter than Beastborne is.
However, the story is also much tighter. Not to mention different. Whereas I would list Beastborne as somewhere in the realm of hopeful adventure in a dark world, Pyresou... 2020-07-01 15:34:49 +0000 UTC View Post

2020-06-29 19:18:50 +0000 UTC View PostRoughly 60 chapters needed editing in one way or another, from minor things like lingering instances of Aldren instead of Aldim to more overhauled issues like EXP, Skills, Levels, and Reputation.
Additionally, all prompts have been finally brought into the fold of proper formatting. Every skill should have the correct prompt now.
All Patreon posts have been updated to the most recent version. What this means is, if you so choose, you’ll be able to reread the book and ge...

This thing is an absolute beast (no pun intended) at 1,069 pages. I can’t think of any other LitRPG novel that is that long! Tell me if I’m wrong though. Seriously, because I’d love to sink my teeth into something that meaty.
As a result, I’m going to need to take down the link for the download in the early release post (details are there if you missed the download).
While you are under absolutely zero requirement to do so, I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could hop on...
2020-06-29 03:50:57 +0000 UTC View PostA lot has changed from the rough draft you all read to the full release of Beastborne: Mark of the Founder.
Keen-eyed observers will note differences in EXP, skills, spells, and a few other things.
Unfortunately, this is one of the drawbacks of a web serial. Things constantly evolve and change between draft copies and while I did my best to refine and improve there were some areas that necessitated significant change.
Have no fear! The main storyline remains unchanged ...
2020-06-26 14:48:57 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to touch base with everybody and let you all know a few changes that are coming next month.
This month will see the first public release of the heavily polished and edited Beastborne: Mark of the Founder ebook. It currently sits at a very hefty 273,000ish words. That’s well over 1,000 pages.
By way of comparison, the original first draft that you all have read was 234,658 words (give or take). So it’s a marked increase in length and substantial edits to improve ...

Here it is, the cover for Beastborne’s first book! I’m still knee-deep in the editing process but assuming no other insanity comes my way it should (strong emphasis there) be done this month!
I’ve taken all of your suggestions into account, fixed a ton of errors and included better scenes and mechanics. I am really excited to be able to share the actual book with you so far. It’s going to be MASSIVE though, just a word of warning.

Coming in under the wire with this one: What’s your preference on prompts? Would you like to see more, less, changed in some way?
I know this can be a contentious subject for some people with LitRPGs ranging from “creamy” to “crunchy” and I like to think that Beastborne strikes a reasonable balance between them, leaning a bit more toward the “crunchy” aspect.
But I’m curious what you all think/prefer. After all, your opinion matters a great deal!...
2020-05-01 00:01:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis poll is going to be a little different than usual, and doesn’t count toward the patron poll of the month in any case. As some of you may know, my day job is as an EMT. Before the pandemic, it was crazy and hectic. Twelve-hour days aren’t abnormal for most EMTs even during good times.
Now it’s… well, it’s indescribable.

With the first book wrapped up, looking back I’m not entirely convinced the name really matches the feel of the book or the series as a whole. And so I thought, what better group of upstanding people to ask than those who have read more of Beastborne than anybody else?
I’m thinking of changing the series/book title to something more in-line with the story and I’d like your help. If there’s something not listed that you prefer, please put it down in the comments below.

Also as a slight update: Based on the poll it looks like you guys want to see more Kingdom/Sanctum Building (naturally, this will have a lot of crafting/gathering woven in). So look forward to a lot of adventures based around getting that Manaseed and carving out a niche in the Shiverglades. With all the horrible creatures that lurk there...

Here it is! Points of Interest are areas Hal has been to (like the goblin cave) and more areas will be added in as Hal learns about them or visits them. The map will continue to be updated if the associated goal is met at least once per month.
Keep in mind this is only a small part of the greater world of Aldren! Areas unknown will be shrouded in clouds and most of the map is beyond the borders of this image.
