Cassel and Val Commission

Hey, everyone! 

Here is the Cassel and Valuri commission for this month. This is set shortly after The Dragon of Highwind where the city is bracing for the invasion. 

Enjoy!

Highwind: The Catch-Up Collection - Patreon Release!

Hey, everyone!

So here is the new anthology as promised, complete with many editorial revisions and continuity fixes!

If you already have most of this stuff, you may as well clean out the old stuff and make room for the One Edition To Rule Them All. 

Edit: removed for Spire of Shadows release. You can still find it on Amazon or at a higher tier!

March Plans

Hey, everyone. Just a quick post laying out some plans for March!

First, I believe we'll have our first commission in a while involving Val being Val and seducing Cassel. 

Second, there will be the Highwind Catch-Up Collection. This will have all a ton of revised content: 4 Spider Queen books, 2 DFF novellas, both Ranger-General books, TaP 1-6 and Huntress: Origins. Basically everything someone needs to jump into TaV going forward!

$5+ patrons will get access to this; $...

February Rewards - Spire of Shadows Preview

Hey, everyone! So here is the reward for February - about 20k words of the new book!

As always I'm sure I'll end up doing some revisions, but at least you can see where things are going!

Let me know what you think of the new character in particular. Chapter 3 is is especially spicy. 

Highwind Collection NSFW

A special bonus!

Highwind Collection Cover (Reinbach)

Reinbach finished this up today for the forthcoming Highwind "Catch-up" Collection. Check it out!

In other news:

• Paperbacks are signed and mailed!
• I plan to drop several preview chapters of the next book by the end of the month as the February reward. Stay tuned!

Lore Post: The Tel Bator

Hey, everyone! I promised a short lore post for the month, so here it is! 

People who have read my stuff from the beginning can probably find threads in older work where I have developed and expanded on ideas. The early concept of a big, imperious religious organization really started in Elf Slave. 

Anyway, the Tel Bator is an organization akin to the Catholic Church - it is the religious force  in Darenthi (and elsewhere) with an enormous amount of...

QoP Paperbacks

They are here! I think they look pretty awesome.

 I'll start signing and mailing them out to folks soon!

February Plans

Hey, everyone! I hope you've had a chance to read the book (or part of the book!) by now. I have ordered the paperbacks and I'll let you know when they arrive! :) I have been busy outlining new stuff (and editing old stuff) in preparation for the big Highwind omnibus with the Reinbach cover. 

In the meantime, I am trying to decide if I wanted to do a Lore post this month. Are there any particular topics you would want to learn more about? 

Help requested!

Hey, everyone!

So the new book just launched on Amazon here! 

Since this is a new series, getting early rankings/sales is super duper important. There are a couple things you could do that would really help me out!

-If you are in any Facebook groups/Discord groups etc, please consider mentioning my stuff. It really helps to have fan advocates!

-Since the book is on Kindle Unlimi...

Queen of the Pale - Patreon Release!

All right, everyone, the book is finally ready!

If you read the initial preview I posted, you will definitely want to start from the beginning and reread everything because I made some significant changes and tweaks. 

Thanks to everyone who offered early commentary and feedback, and extra special thanks to super patron Sean who put in unfathomable amounts of time and effort to help me edit and revise this baby.

Final Edits

Hey, guys. Just letting you know I'm on the final revisions for QoP, so it will be out in a couple of days. In the meantime, here is a pose sketch for the coming anthology cover!

Quick Update

Hey, everyone! Just a couple of quick notes for you:

Reinbach has agreed to do a Highwind Complete Collection cover with all the original versions of the girls! I should have that in about two weeks. :)

As for the new book, I have started heavy revisions so it shouldn't be *too* much longer. 

I can at least share the cover letting with you. I think it will look spiffy as a paperback!

Torisval Map

So I don't think I have posted this yet, but here is a zoomed-in map for the area where book one takes place! This will let me declutter the main country map a bit and it's probably more useful for readers.

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for all their support this year! It really means a lot. Without your help, there's no way I could support myself and keep doing this! 

2019 was the year of The Amazon's Vengeance with 4 longer books + Wrath of the Spider Queen. I am really hoping that 2020 will be a big expansion year. The more Patreon support I get, the less I am beholden to chasing raw sales vs writing anything I want. 

Hopefully I will...

Delaryn NSFW

Now she's definitely freezing out there!

Delaryn + Rohen Cover (Tony)

Hey, everyone. Merry Christmas!

I will pretty much be awol for the next ~2 weeks or so, but I will be back in January with the new book. In the meantime, here is an awesome new cover from Tony! 

Queen of the Pale Ch 1-4 Preview

Hello! As promised, here is the enormous preview for December! Please let me know what you think of the characters and world building and such. 

I am still deciding whether or not I want to make a zoomed in version of the main map since this story takes place entirely in the north, but here is Darenthi as it stands now. 

Edit; removed for release version

Progress Update

Hey, all! 

So with December being crazy with holidays and with my next project being totally new, my plan this month is to give you a longer preview in one block rather than slowly one by one. This doesn't really change much, I just wanted to let you know that I'll hopefully have Ch 1-4 for you within the week before I leave for the holidays. 

Also here's a preview of what Tony is working on! This one will have a NSFW version. :)

Queen of the Pale Cover Art

So here is the new art I mentioned from Dennis Frohlich This is so bonkers good I actually cried a little when I opened it! I mean look at this face!

Ahem!

I don't want to lore dump just yet since I'm still working on a preview, but this does show off a new channeling technique - Palerending - which is the ...

December Plans

Hey, all. Just a quick update on what to expect for December:

-I'm already 21k words into Queen of the Pale, my new project (for reference, most TaV books are about 55k) and I'm super excited about it. I will have a preview by the middle of the month and at least two before I go on vacation around Christmas.

-After the previous delay, Tony is hopefully doing some art for me this month!

-I also finally manged to commission 2019-12-01 17:42:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Paperbacks

They are here...about an hour too late for me to actually send them out until Monday. 😛

I think these look pretty good. The maps inside are always a little disappointing with the way Amazon prints stuff, but I turned them on their side this time so they are bigger and more readable.

Paperback Update

Hey, guys! I hope you've had a chance to enjoy the new book!

The paperbacks have been finished for almost a week; I'm just waiting on Amazon to print and ship them. They will (allegedly) be here on the 27th so I can start mailing them out then if you are waiting for other books, I will be bundling them all together in one shipment. 

Otherwise, I will be back at the start of December with some new preview chapters. I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! 

As alway...

The Dragon of Highwind - Patreon Release

Hey, guys! The book is finally ready for you! Have at it and please let me know what you think. :)

I will start work on the paperbacks soon and keep you updated. 

This book also includes a real map of Highwind for the first time. Check it out!

Edit: removed for Queen of the Pale release

Who is your favorite female character in the Highwind universe?

Hey, guys! So The Dragon of Highwind will be ready in just a few more days, and I am looking forward to seeing what everyone thinks. In the meantime, I wanted to take a fun poll just to test the waters a bit. 

If you had to choose, who is your favorite female character from the Highwind universe? Favorite could mean whatever you want - the sexiest, the most interesting, whatever! I'm sure really curious to see what you pick!

Feel free to tell me your reasons in the c...

The Dragon of Highwind, Ch1-4 preview

Hey, guys! Here is the next chapter and the rest of the battle sequence for you. For your convenience, I added the other chapters and made a Kindle and Epub version also. 

I'm doing final edits on the last three chapters now; hopefully it won't take too long!

The bad news is that Tony's recovery has lasted longer than expected, so he won't be able to do the Kaseya dragonriding cover. It's unfortunate, but thankfully I had some contingency plans with the Warmics covers I commi...
