Just giving everyone a heads up. I woke up a 2:00 am to start writing and got 9,000 words written today. Crushed my past record.
Two chapters should be up tonight and at least one tomorrow. I need to take a break to help my wife before editing later tonight before posting.
Cheers!

The Preorder is up!
163,000 words!
Longest book in the series!
Summary:
Passing through the Vampire Gate, Elorion enters the true heart of the Underworld for the first time. The sooner he completes his mission, the sooner he and the girls can return home. The task is impossible at his current level, so he follows the lich down the only viable path. A path laden with bodies and blood.
2021-02-03 17:44:37 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
The cover has been finalized, so I'm just waiting on them to send me the final copies before getting the Patreon version posted with the cover in tact. Should be tomorrow at the latest.
Right now I'm planning on setting up a preorder for a little more than a week to publish on February 10th. As soon as I get the cover, I'll be able to set it up. I'll let everyone know right away. This will give me time to set up some advertising.

2021-02-01 20:08:00 +0000 UTC View PostUnderworld - Scorching Sun - Book 6
I'm still waiting on the finalized cover, so even if I get it today or tomorrow, there is only a day or two left in the month in which it will be up for everyone to download at that tier. I'll put it up as soon as I get it, but I want you guys to be aware so you can decide how you're going to manage your subscription.
I'll probably do a week preorder once everything is ready to give myself some time to get advertising set up. 2021-01-30 17:55:53 +0000 UTC View Post
The Underworld - Scorching Sun Ebook is available through the above link!
Note: I use Prolific Works because it allows for multiple formats like, Mobi, EPub, etc.
Second Breakfast: When the Cover is finished, another version will be available and you're welcome to download them both.
Brunch: Reviews once the book is up on Amazon and Goodreads are greatly appreciated. I'll give you a reminder through future updates if you forget. :D
Cheers!
The cover is still in the tweaking stages, but now that I have something I wanted to show you guys. The obvious thing that needs worked on are the Light Discs, since they're discs and not orbs.
I went with this scene as opposed to others, since some could have been far more spoilerish to the plot.
As the title says, editing is done on Underworld - Scorching Sun!
I've already handed the doc off to my audiobook publisher and they are giving me a rough date on May 4th! That means the voice actor is already lined up!
Cover art. This is the tricky one. I'll hear back from my artist tomorrow, but I'm not sure what it looks like yet besides the rough sketch. I want to have it available to everyone here before the end of the month, so after I find out how it looks, I'll give ...

For you guys at the $5 tier and higher, would you prefer me to upload a coverless ebook so that you can read it sooner? Once the cover is ready, I'll share a link to that version as well so you can have both. I still hope to get it to you before its pu...
Underworld - Scorching Sun
Editing is coming along great for book 6. The second half of the book is heading to the editor on Monday. I should be getting it back at the end of the week. Hopefully, I'll have the Patreon copy up for you guys to download early in the last week of the month. I'm waiting on cover art, so if that is the only thing that delays things, then I might do something so that you don't have to wait.
Publishing will probably be early February.

Spoiler Alert!
If you have read all of Underworld Book 6, then this is just a little addition to the end. It needed a character moment between two main characters. If you haven't read it to the end, I'm adding this to the last chapter, so you can just read it there.
Cheers!

2021-01-16 12:49:33 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a lot of participation in the first poll and some good additional titles I think deserve a chance to be voted for.
Note: This is a vote for the Series Name, not the first book's name.
I think I'm leaning toward Prodigies for the first book's title, which was also mentioned in the comments of last poll. We may do another poll for book 1's name later.
Heaven's Laws was the clear winner from the first poll, so I'm putting in in the first spot.
Cheers!

The new cultivation series is in desperate need of a title. What I'm using as a place holder is pretty, eh.
I'll list some and also put an option to add your own. The most popular choice in this poll won't necessarily be what's picked. There will likely be follow up polls.
Note: There is room for the Series Title and individual book titles so feel free to all all you like.
It's time for an update as to what I've been up to.
Underworld Book 6
I've gotten the first half of the book back from my editor and I have the notes from a few beta readers already. Great feedback all around. A couple things coming are extended moments at the end of the book with a few characters. They will further increase the reader rewards for finishing the book. I'll give you guys an update when it's written.
The second have of the book will be handed off to the...
Chao did his best to not let on that he’d heard anything from Huifen’s conversation with his father. The old man had left them alone anyways, so they continued their day as they had the day before. When he saw her again, she was no longer dressed in the outfit he’d given her, but a well fit dress as blue as ice that fully covered her arms and back. As expected, she seemed more attentive to him, but also more distracted as if often deep in thought.
He was able to disguise his behav...
2021-01-06 11:29:08 +0000 UTC View PostTo Chao’s relief, Huifen showed no signs of not wanting to continue their cultivation throughout the night. They agreed to stop before morning, but this time it wasn’t because he’d run out of energy, but because they both needed rest.
As an Earth Realm cultivator, she’d normally need far less than him and could easily go days without sleep and not be affected at all. He could go a day or two, but unless he was at his peak state, he simply didn’t have the vast energy reserves t...
2021-01-05 16:48:33 +0000 UTC View PostSurprise! Two chapters in one day.

After dinner, they proceeded where they left off the night before. Chao guided Huifen through the task of getting a feel of the Water Laws. His main aid to her was comparing how Water felt compared to Ice. Even though they would feel slightly different to each person, it wasn’t a solely unique experience. Chao had also learned by watching his mother, so he didn’t come at it from purely a male’s perspective either.
Instead of sitti...
2021-01-04 20:19:12 +0000 UTC View PostChao did exactly as he said. He served them both large plates of streak strips and white sauce then applied her new poultice and immediately started cultivating after lunch. He left her inside the house as he went to sit on his stump at the edge of the garden. He was sure to tell Huifen that she had free reign to do as she wished.
Sitting with his legs crossed, he started gathering energy through his meridians to circulate it in the prescribed method of his mother. He didn’t discrimin...
2021-01-04 13:29:35 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Huifen awoke she noticed the angle of the sun coming through the windows was already at the height of midmorning. She’d slept so long…
Examining her body, she felt stiff, but her collar bone had started to solidify and smooth out as if nothing had ever happened. Her vitality was also many times what it was from the day before. She suspected her blood supply had returned to a more acceptable level because of it. Even her wound had tightened as it slowly knit itself back together...
2021-01-03 01:45:36 +0000 UTC View PostNothing big today, but I wanted to let everyone know how things were coming along.
I handed off the first 80,000 words to my editor today. So that's a big step. I should have that back for the 9th. I also have a few beta readers working on it, so I look forward to see what feedback I get from them soon.
Master of Heaven's Laws chapters should continue for a few weeks while I'm doing the tedious stuff. Just posted chapter 7 as well. I hope to get started reading Codename soon, bu...
When Chao returned to the house, Huifen was asleep so he avoided the area. From the smell of what his father had on the stove, he’d brought home some Dire Beast meat from his outing earlier. With Huifen’s inability to gather energy, even though she had her unique physique that absorbed it by itself, the meat would give her a good boost that would only help her recover quicker.
He and his father ate together in the kitchen. Besides further direction on the fairy’s care, they hardly...
2021-01-01 20:10:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been a couple hours since Chao and his father left Huifen alone, and she’d still yet to fall asleep. Long Zan had said that the boy had given her a lot to think about and she hadn’t even known how true that was until it was just her and her thoughts.
As her mind was churning over the last couple day’s events, she found herself watching the fire as it dwindled. She was no expert, but the wood used was lasting far longer than common firewood should. That in itself wasn’t to...
2020-12-31 17:30:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe first sensation Huifen felt as she started to come to was excess warmth. It was as if she’d passed out and fallen on sun-cooked cobblestone to roast there for a time. There was no burning, so that couldn’t be the case. It was just a dry heat that clung to her. As she tried to open her eyes, she had trouble focusing and they fluttered closed. Giving it another go, her eyes cracked open and she saw blurred orange and yellow puppets dancing. Batting her eyes, the images became clearer an...
2020-12-30 19:44:39 +0000 UTC View PostSince his mother’s passing, the years had been far kinder to Chao and his father. The since of loss was always present, but it became a gentle reminder of how sweet life could be. Chasing that feeling was no doubt a large reason he was out so deep in the redwood forest as evening approached. This time of year was early fall when the leaves had only started to turn and only sparsely decorated the ground. The Clove Mushroom could be found in good quantity when the base of a tree was sufficien...
2020-12-29 18:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostDrifting through the forest of aurora redwood with their barren trunks that reached to the sky for dozens of meters until they formed a thick canopy overhead, Xiao Huifen moved with the grace of a snowflake blowing in the wind. She’d yet to become a Sky Realm Cultivator so flying was difficult except for short stints, but at the eighth level of the Earth Realm, she stalked her quarry at a speed far faster than most birds of prey were capable of.
Not only was her speed beyond most of t...
2020-12-29 18:45:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt was the latest Chao’s parents had ever come home after a day of shopping at the local village as he sat on the smooth stone floor with a spark of static he’d Borrowed from his thick cotton pants. He was now big enough to take care of all the common chores and the protection array was active around the house so even a sky cultivator couldn’t break in unless he was foolish enough to let them. Lightning was an element that he’d only recently began toying with. Borrowing it was easy en...
