Official Monthly Update (May 1st, 2023)

Note: This was written for April 30th, 2023.

So, April was really busy! I was able to order some art for upcoming stuff. My behind-the-scenes stuff is going to be coming in a week, had a bit of a hold up.

AFTERMATH FALLS 3 is going well and I expect it to be out this month. I have artwork for it, which I expect to see pretty soon. DRAGON ESTATE 3 should be out in July, possibly earlier.

I have two new series coming this summer and later in the year I'm really excite...

Official Monthly Update (March 31st, 2023)

GOING DARK is out! 

This is going to be kind of a short update. 

I've begun work on Aftermath Falls 3 and Dragon Estate 3. I'm excited to announce a couple things. My upcoming books sort of symbolize my new writing style. I've spent months crafting it, finding my voice, and I am SO excited to share it in the upcoming books.

I'm still working on the series with zombies, which will come later, and I'm setting up more dark fantasy material.

I did not post chapte...

Alternate post and additional drafts of Going Dark art.

Going Dark - Aftermath Falls Book 2 ART REVEAL!

Early Access: Ally Art Commission

Had an artists create some artwork of Ally from Daemonica! Including behind the scenes sketches and drafts as well.

Early Access Content!

About to drop some AWESOME Patreon early-access content! Note that eventually, after several months, it will be come available to everyone, but you get it first!

Regarding An Update To The L.X.L. Insider Tier

Due to Amazon's polices, I have to remove the in-progress chapters of any book that I publish through Kindle. Luckily, this is stuff that's usually pretty old and also unedited or somewhat different than the final published version. 

Today, I removed the in-progress versions of Dragon Estate (originally called Dragoness Mansion) and Dragon Estate 2. 

Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up! 

Official Monthly Update (February 28th, 2023)

Note I: I forgot to post this last night. This will be the LAST TIME this ever happens.

Note II: I did originally post this as a March 1st PART ONE update, but decided that was probably disingenuous, so I edited the title and updated.

Note III: Edited above to say that I changed the title and also fixed a few things below.

Okay, so, some updates.

I am currently working on the Desperate Times Complete Trilogy collection for Kindle. It should b...

Desperate Times, Arcane Desires, and Daemonica

So, my Patrons are going to be the first to hear about my upcoming plans for three particular projects: Desperate Times, Arcane Desires, and Daemonica.

I'm going to start with Desperate Times.

It's been a long time since Desperate Times has had a sequel. This is partly because I've begun work on other series, but a lot of it is pretty simple: I've changed so much as an author that it's near impossible to write 2023-02-21 16:41:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Quick Update

I have more content coming this month - the art I mentioned a couple months back is still in progress but will be shown here first! More LIGHTS OUT 2 content on the way.

Official Monthly Update (February 1st, 2022)

First off, this was written for yesterday. I'm not sure why it wasn't posted, but we'll be posting it today! Onto the original post:

Hey readers! Thank you so much for supporting me! It felt so good to show off some content for Lights Out 2. I am confident it will finally be available next month in February. 

I'm still working on Desperate Times 4 at the moment. It's taking a bit more time than usual, mostly because the author I am now is not the author I was when I ...

First Drop: A Bonus Update! And A Retrospective...

So, let's begin with some massive news exclusive to Patreon.

Last year was intense and, for the most part, all over the place. I learned a lot about myself and what I love to write. I never expected to gain such support and because of that, I will be writing more than I ever have.

Some of you may have noticed that my releases have been staggered and inconsistent. I've also released very little compared to what I could be doing (though I suppose that's always the case!). 

Thank You!

For supporting my writing! I have some good news for everyone. For those who have remained my Patrons, you will be rewarded. There is a lot of content coming here in the next week or so. This will be the most massive content drop I've ever done in Patreon.

I hope everyone enjoys it!

My Word

When I write, I usually have it set up this way. This is from Lights Out 2.

Discarded Material (Dragon Estate 2, From)

Official Monthly Update (November 30th, 2022)

I promised a second update, so here I go! Alright, so some things to get addressed:

There was no real in-progress writing posted on here this month. I'll be making up for that next time. December will have about 4 chapters of in-progress writing posted. I was deep into DE and I didn't want to miss putting it on Amazon before November. 

So, in December, Desperate Times will see the last book available on Amazon. Desperate Times 4 should be out in December 2022.

Updates

So! Dragon Estate 2 is almost finished. I have a couple chapters to write and some editing to do (and expansion). I have some art on the way for the cover and soon I will reveal it here first! There are two chapters of upcoming material that I'll be posting soon, along with some character art (probably sketches) for everyone to look at it. Some will be shared over the internet (Twitter, probably), but some will be exclusive to Patreon only.

Dragon Estate 2 might come out December 1 - 5,...

Editing Notes

Just a look at some editing notes for Dragon Estate 2 and my other novels.

Official Monthly Update (November 1st, 2022)

Hey fans! I hope you had a sexy and spooky Halloween! You'll notice that my monthly update did not come out for October, along with anything behind the scenes. I'm going to release two monthly updates in November and extra behind-the-scenes content to make up for that.

So, where am I?

Dragon Estate 2 is in production. It should be out this month. Artwork is underway. The second Dragon Estate will have Nicole on the cover! Hayley was the dragoness on the first.

Official Monthly Update #5 (September 30th, 2022)

Hello everyone! My Patreon has been slow this month. A lot of things were happening in my life and I had to take a step back. I'm still delivering, but everything will be delivered today!

So, let's start with some new things: audiobooks are still in the works. I still can't say much, but I will keep updated on it.

Lights Out 2 is underway. Dragon Estate 2 is underway with a mostly complete outline. I have artwork coming up for a sequel. I do have ...

Character Info (Rough) for Apocalypse Series

I didn't start the manuscript yet, but this was the general idea for my new characters. It doesn't have backgrounds or additional features yet because I'm not there, but you got it first.

This isn't my Aftermath Falls series. It's a new thing that hasn't come out and won't until probably 2023. I thought I would share it!

Official Monthly Update #4 (August 30th, 2022)

So! This will be kind of short again. I have some exciting news. I can't give the details yet but audiobooks are basically confirmed. I can't say much else. 

Onto some other stuff. If you read my other updates, Dragon Estate was originally named Dragoness Estate. I changed that because I felt the other title was more accurate. I mean either work, but Dragon, I think, does a better job.

Earlier monthlies will see some editing fixes.

I'm working on a sequ...
