Hey, guys! Still plugging along on TDS 2, but while you wait, I cooked up a few new decent portraits.
Here's a Sariss one! As I said on Discord, looks a bit smug like she just got branded and is proud of it.
#2 is Sabari the Siren, who will make a return in Book 2!
Hey, guys! Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll. Looks like the Ash cover is the safe bet for book 4, maybe I can have some work done on the Miranda one for book 5. We already have the movie poster for the anthology so at least that is set!
In other news, the Dragon Sov #2 sample is out for editing (about a quarter of the book) so you'll have that to chew on in a little bit while I finish the rest!
I've also been trying to do character portraits with stable diffusion etc just ...
2023-04-10 15:12:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
So we were chatting a bit about covers on Discord today and I figured I'd drop a poll to see what folks though!
So which cover do you personally like better for the next Lost Fleet book?
Hey, guys!
Couple quick updates for you. I just got the DS paperbacks in, so I'll start signing and shipping those out shortly. They look good!
Other housekeeping:
Hey, guys!
So not a ton of news here, I have unfortunately been ill from the moment the book launched up until about now, which has been frustrating. But work is commencing on Dragon #2, and I'll have a better idea on previews in a few weeks.
I will probably end up revising the '23 roadmap soon based on narrator availability. Actors are set up for TDS (Ben Hart and Ellory Lane); it's a team who has done quite a few books together so that's exciting.
But I thi...

So the book came out on Amazon today! You can check it out here
If you've read it and liked it, please consider dropping a rating or review!
I also just got in the cover for book 2 a few days ago! And I put it up for pre-order, anticipating a May release.
For the rest of this month, I will ...

As promised, here is the new book before the end of the month (with 8 hours to spare!!)
I hope you enjoy it!
Please feel free to leave corrections here or in Discord before I upload for the world soon.
And I'll have the hot new cover for 2 shortly!

Hey, guys! Quick update for you.
So the Dragon Sovereign is like 95% drafted, and we're about to move into heavy editing. That means everything is on schedule - the book should be ready for you guys sometime before the end of the month.
Stay tuned! And be sure to send me any feedback you want on the sample if you haven't yet!
Hey, guys!
So here is the promised preview for the new book.
Since it is the first in the series, please feel extra free to provide feedback either here or in Discord (or PM) about anything.
Hey, guys!
Just letting you know I'm working on editing this month's sample now, so you should have it within the week. Should be about 30k words, a third of the book!
Other notes:
Hey guys!
Well after the holiday shipping delay and weirdly getting all of these books delivered in four packages instead of one (???), I can finally mail these out this week!
Hey, guys!
I figured I'd toss out a loose (and very tentative) roadmap for 2023. As some of you know, my goal this year is to increase productivity at least 25% to keep up with an every-other-month release schedule while still writing longer books.
So obviously none of this is set in stone, and it's pretty contingent on my new schedule working out. But if things work out, it will allow me to hopefully squeeze in BoH and maybe some short stories here and there.
(Ideally ...
Hey, guys! I'll be traveling back home at the end of the year here before getting back into writing, but here is the anthology "movie poster" cover Ullr did for me!
I'll probably use this for the 1-3 audio anthology whenever it is ready.
Thank you to everyone for the amazing year!
Hey, guys!
I hope everyone has had time to read and enjoy Invasion! If you are able to leave a rating on Amazon, even better!
Just letting folks know that the paperbacks have been ordered, but I won't get them until the 2nd week of Jan (holiday blockage?)
I will also be traveling for the holidays and gone for the last week of the month.
My plan for Jan is to get you a sample of th...

Hey, guys! A couple quick notes here for you:
1) Invasion is being edited, so you guys will have your hands on it in a few days.
2) The Insurrection audio book came out today, if you are interested! https://www.audible.com/pd/Insurrection-Audiobook/B0BKQXTC5V
3) I mentioned it on Discord, but I was invited to contribute a short story to a harem collection coming out next ...
Hey, guys!
So I was going to throw up a slightly longer Invasion preview, but since I'm putting the finishing touches on the end now, you should have your hands on it in 7-10 days. with that in mind, I'm just going to hold off and deliver the whole book at once!
Stay Tuned! (And keep in mind, high rollers should be able to get audio codes for insurrection when it releases on the 10th)
Hey, guys! Well, it's that time of year again, and I have a lot to be thankful for! As most of you know, sales have really taken off these past few months, and the possibility of getting audio books going forward is pretty exciting!
But none of this would have been possible without the support of my awesome loyal patrons over the years. Some of you have been with me for a long time now, all the way back to when I was publishing Elf Slave and the Spider Queen books. The...
2022-11-25 04:36:11 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys!
So as I continue building an art portfolio for the Avetharri era stuff, here's a new piece from Tony (has been a while!).
This is kind of an Elf Slave Redux - an inspiration piece I could take in a lot of different ways. Maybe a highborn elf born without magic pleading to the old gods to become a priestess? Or maybe a potential dragon wife proving her submission to her master?
However it works out, there's also a NSFW version!

Hey, guys! Here is your Halloween treat: about 30,000 words of book three.
Try not to eat it all at once!
(also, you can post any errors you find here, in messages, or in the #corrections channel in Discord).
Hey, guys! Here are a couple of new Wyrm Lord art pieces as I look to build up for the next saga. I hope to eventually expand the website over the holidays kind of like I did with sci-fi. These are potential concepts for a dragon MCs harem members.

Hey, guys! Just some basic housekeeping here.
-About 80% of you at the 20+ tier should have received your Insurrection paperback by now. The rest were delayed from a shipping error, but I'll send them out tomorrow.
-Insurrection audio is still recording, I'll post when I have updates. I would think they'd be finishing up reasonably soon but I'm not sure, it is kinda long.
-Invasion preview will be up in a few weeks, it will probab...

Hey, guys!
So if you aren't active on Discord, I asked Ullr to do a banner for me as a setup for my 2023 plans to finally delve into "Reign of the Wyrm Lords," the old world Avetharri books I've been talking about for years at this point (and was going to start this year, but then The Lost Fleet took off!!)
Anyway, current plan is to finish TLF #3 by Dec, then pause that to shift gears for a bit and see what happens. As we covered in a poll a few months back, I will try to work ...
Hey, everyone!
Well, it took a couple weeks longer than planned, but the book is finally ready!
As usual, if you find any typos, please message me or post in the #corrections channel in Discord as soon as you can. The more eyes on it, the better!
Edit: 12/122 - Removed for Invasion release. You can pick up the book on Amazon or by pledging at a higher tier!

Hey, guys! So Incursion is out on audio today and has already broke into the top 50 space opera!
The publisher has blessed me with a few free codes which I'm going to hand out as a reward to super patrons!
If any of them end up unclaimed, I will go down the line for patrons who've been with me the longest in the next tier until they are used up!
(And in Insurrection news, it will be out for you guys in a few days)
Hey guys! Just a quick update on the book: I expect to have the draft finished within a week, with a patreon release a few days after that to get some eyeballs on it before the Amazon release. It currently has triple the pre-orders of Incursion, which had double my previous book before that. :O
it's going to be long - probably 110k words, 30% longer than Union or Kingdom of Stars!
I'll be in touch shortly. Cheers!
2022-09-03 21:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys! As promised, here is the big preview of the new book to tide you over. At almost 60k words, it's about as long as most of my other books by itself...and it's only like 2/3 or so.
As always, please let me know if you find errors so I can stamp them out ahead of time. You can comment here, in PMs, or (best of all) post in the #corrections channel in Discord!
Note that for those of you who read the other preview, there is a new interlude you'll want to check out (the...
2022-08-21 19:49:08 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys. Just a quick note that I have discussed on my Goodreads blog here, but Insurrection is going to end up longer than expected (like 20-30%) and therefore needs a bit more time in the oven. I think (hope) the interlude flashbacks will be good at building out the history of the characters, just like in Wings/SoS.
To that end, I'll be dropping an even lon...

Hey, guys! In the interests of full transparency, I wanted to give everyone an update here at the end of the month and address the elephant in the room for my future plans. That way, if you aren't happy about the current direction, you can decide whether or not you wish to continue supporting me before you get charged for another month.
As someone who has always been right on the bubble, able to pay my bills (thanks to patrons!) but with very little wiggle room, the success of Incur...
