What up!
Next Underworld Chapters is coming soon. I could possibly have two out tomorrow. I had some PC issues and had to flash my bios a few times, so just getting everything up and running. I have been able to write though, so things are going well.
Cheers!
2020-02-26 00:46:33 +0000 UTC View PostSo this week has been insane. I would have updated you sooner, but things kept popping up when I thought I'd finally have the time to focus.
We had a cancer scare in the immediate family. The great news is that it ended up being a much more common and easy to deal with issue. On the opposite end of the spectrum, my best friend had his first baby girl. And today, when I finally have the time to start catching up, it's Valentines Day. Having a wife and daughter means that I have two da...

How you doin?!
I want to give an update on Underworld chapters because I've been intending to post the first one since Monday of this last weeks. I'm sitting here even now trying to write and I'm having difficulty. It's not that I'm not able to get any words on the page, but, even though this is my seventh book, I'm finding myself extremely anxious for the next release. In other words, I can't focus. Everything coming out is blah at best. At least I have a good outline now for the first...
2020-02-01 20:04:46 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you that have just joined us, I'm going to be removing the Underworld book 4 chapters on Sunday before the book goes live on Amazon. I'll leave the first couple up, but using Kindle Unlimited forces me to remove all but 10% of the book from anywhere online. It's an exclusivity deal for ebook rights. Sigh.
You still have this weekend though!
Underworld book 5 chapters coming out soon!

Cover reveal!
Sorry for the delay in chapters for Underworld book 5. I haven't gotten much sleep this week. The kids have been waking up, for no particular reason, at 3-4 AM. Everything I've written has been pretty bad.
The good news is that I already have book 4 back from my editor and I'm almost finished. I'm going to start my last read through this afternoon, and hopefully I can ...

I got an update from my audio book publishers on the Codename: Freedom - World Quest Audiobook. It looks like the delay is on the narrator's end. Something about having a baby... So, the rough date they have set is early May. I'm bummed on one hand, but happy for the guy on the other. At least now we know. Long term, I'm not worried. As the bills for diapers start piling up, he's going to ...

Underworld - Proving Grounds (book 4) is in the hands of my editor and should be getting back to me this week. My plan is to have it done and available for everyone on the corresponding Patreon tier early in the last week of January, 27th - 28th. I'll then set up a pre-order on Amazon for Feb. 3rd, if everything goes as I hope it will.
Chapters for book 5 should start next week. I'll...

I didn't want to reveal anything about the cover before I'd finished posting book 4 chapters because having Mistress Nava on the front might ruin the mystery as to whether she was going to show up herself, or if she was going to send something else to Sanctuary. Not that you can really trust covers to be accurate. Often they just tease what's inside.
As I'm going through on my first round of edits, I'm updating the original chapters here with cleaner version. Also, I've made chapt...

The first thing I felt when I came to was a lack of pain. Nothing was clear in my vision, but a great blur of light surrounded me in every direction. Was this heaven, or had I survived? I couldn’t tell. A few seconds later, a vague shadow in the shape of a person appeared in front of me. Was it a person or a short tree? It was still unclear. When the image began to sharpen, it wa...

Unlike when I’d first used appendages, I was now able to command them with little cost. It was like extending my own mana outside my body instead of casting an actual spell. That was how Lady Contessa had been able to have her appendages constantly active. Mistress Nava obviously knew the same trick. Thanks ladies.
Instead of casting Artificial S...

I reached a ridiculous speed as I dove toward the ground. Her tentacles moved just as fast, threatening to crush me against the stone beneath. Throwing my wings out, I changed directions and swooped toward her, but my momentum was so great that I landed momentarily on all fours and my chin bounced off the stone. With the strength of me wings joined with that of my arms and legs, I ...

There was a part of me, a very human part, that wished there was a way around this. I wished for there to be peace, but if her offer wouldn’t protect the others—if it wouldn’t protect Aeris—then there could be no peace. The idea was ridiculous really. Even if her offer gave me everything I wanted, how could I possibly trust a creature that looked upon all...

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and enjoy New Years if you celebrate it. I'll probably celebrate by taking a nap.

Standing alone in the middle of the stone pathway, I hardly noticed the drop offs to either side. Quake sat silently Indian style in the pit to my right. His body of earth and ice was so huge that his humanoid head was almost level with the platform. I was considering remaking him with more mana, but to do so to the best of my ability would require using my Light Magic buffs. There...

Khun had been surprisingly absent during our time in the Master’s Chamber. When he did appear, I couldn’t help but notice his lack of greeting. It was early afternoon, so I half expected him to hand me the list of Arcane Engineering machines and their DP cost when he arrived. Instead, he stood alone facing the wall opposite the dungeon map to our backs. His stillness didn’t l...

I followed our assassin from the inner perimeter to the mid, and finally to the outer. He was quiet the entire way, but I also felt a great unease coming from him. Exactly what it was, I was pretty sure I was about to find out.
Once reaching the outer perimeter, we quickly made our way past the others who were waiting for the next mob to show up and continued forward. A half dozen rooms later, we entered one where a giant beetle was lumbering toward us, heading toward...

I didn’t make it to morning before my assistance was requested. Travis and I had been able to spend a good six hours together before I had to depart though. His rage bled through a few times, but not once did it take over again as we continued to talk. I considered it a good step. Even when Clarissa pulled down the stone wall blocking the exit, Travis didn’t try to leave while he was still in his Werewolf Form.
I nodded my farewell to him as she closed raised the wall b...
Suffice it to say, even after hours of “making iced tea”, Trevon still wasn’t able to push into the Master Rank. He tried everything from condensing his Ice Magic to going as big as he could. I knew he was annoyed, but it just went to show how different we were. It wasn’t just his magic, but his talents and who knows what else that made it possible for Audrey to surpass him in a single spell even though she had started 5 levels behind. It had only been a day since he...
Sorry that you haven't heard from me in the last two days. We had a random family vacation that popped up on us. My parents have a time share and had to use a bunch of points by the end of the year, so we all randomly decided we'd hit up a resort for a week. It was very spare of the moment, so that's why you're just hearing from me.
What does this mean for chapters? Nothing abnormal. It's a work-cation for me. There should actually be less distractions. I have a chapter that just need...
There was no reason for Trevon to remain as the only person to take advantage of my buffs. Catching my attention as she entered the room, the orange of Audrey’s bracers matched the glow of her eyes. She joined Trevon and me as he was meditating. Skyler had entered with her, but he didn’t join us on the second floor of the Bridge. Waving, he began to stretch.

I know this is late to any of you in the UK and Canada, and likely elsewhere in the world. I still hope you get an opportunity to spend some good time with your family and friends!

Taking a turn at watch in the Master’s Chamber, Khun and I were left alone when Aeris went to play around in the outer perimeter with whatever mobs that decided to show up.
It had become very easy for some of our people to manage this level of monster, even when they came in vast numbers. Mel’s minions now numbered in the hundreds and could make short work of just about a...

No one was at the outer perimeter to meet us as they had been on our return from our last trip, so we headed toward the Bridge. A dozen rooms later we came to the last one before reaching the middle perimeter and it was still void of people—including those that should have been here to intercept any mobs that were being attracted by our Dungeon Aura. Turning the corner to enter t...

We traveled for miles in the opposite direction of Sanctuary at an incredible pace. It wasn’t just for a few hours, but we first intended it to last for only two days—that eventually turned into five. There was a very specific landmark we were looking for in the northeast where we would end our quest to lead the enemy away, but we weren’t taking a straight path to it. We cove...

Stepping out from behind Master Khaba, Nana, the elder goblin’s wife, took her place at his side. She bowed her head then he began walking toward us.
Steve and Perry hurried back to the group. Steve hugged one of the serpent heads tight to his chest which was as large as his torso. Perry was carrying a sheet of gold that was about ten feet long and cut evenly on one side fr...

Despite my slower pace, we made it to the meeting place in good time. I had Invisibility cast on myself, but Aeris had asked me not to bother casting it on her. When she was moving quickly, only the most adept would think she was anything more than a gust of wind.
The cavern was nowhere near as big as the Belly, but it was at least the size of a city block. Mana Sight gave me...
