EDIT: Caterina has also posted a textless version over on her Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/OoQexe
No early chapter today. Instead, enjoy a patron-only preview of the cover.
The text might be slightly tweaked, but otherwise the cover is final.
Fei is the cover girl for Heretic Spellblade 3. It's about time the series mascot got one, and I'm super happy with it. She shou...
2021-06-18 14:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostExactly what it says on the tin. I'm asking what you want to see in June. There's a poll attached to the post.
Before I explain further, I'd also like to hear any preferences for the behind-the-scenes content. I'm planning to make a spoiler-light post about the Heretic Spellblade characters, plus some editing notes on the past books. But let me know in the comments if you have specific things you'd like to see.
For June, the main options for exclusive content are whether you want ...

A young woman strode through the upper levels of the grand hall of Aleich’s Imperial Palace. Her name was Alice Arangar, and she was the granddaughter of both Emperor Gorthal and Archduke von Milgar. Within her arms was a small bundle of paperwork.
She wore a stunning red and gold dress emblazoned with the emblems of both the royal family and the Empire. The only nod to her relation to the archduke was a tiny emblem woven into her collar.
Her long, ...
2021-06-15 13:35:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe city of Tartus hadn’t changed much since joining the Empire. It had been the capital of its province in the Federation. Now it was the capital of its duchy in the Empire.
Nathan and Fei navigated through the dense urban sprawl of the city. Marble, granite, and wooden buildings stood side by side in a manner that should appear ramshackle, but somehow appeared normal. Local guards swapped out their Federation crests for Anna’s emblem.
Markets ran day and night in the city, a...

The only human in the group, Nathan Straub, raised a hand and gestured for everybody to halt. He pointed at a nearby well. Within a few minutes, they had all dismounted.
Nathan didn’t give any more orders, and instead watched as...
2021-06-13 20:24:10 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I jump into things, a quick explainer of what June will look like.
I'll drop all (or almost all) of the early chapters for Heretic Spellblade 3. You'll get up to about 60%-80% of each book here, which should be roughly 25 chapters. So that's quite a few chapters to drop in June. Plus the cover art reveal.
There'll also be at least one short story. If some Messengers join, I'll do a poll to see what it should be. Otherwise, I'll likely drop a deleted scene from either Hereti...
2021-06-13 05:38:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis post will be an index for links to all patreon content (short stories etc). I'm reserving it for the first post so that people can find it quickly in the future.
Some of these links might only work for Messengers. Those will be marked.
Book content is listed in reverse order of publication (i.e. the latest book is at the top). Note that all but the first 3 chapters are deleted when each book is available on Amazon due to KU exclusivity rules.
