I’m not dead, just tired. January was a pretty shitty month and I got a lot less done than I wanted. Even now, I have a horrific toothache thanks to one of my wisdom teeth acting up.
But you’re here for news, not my whining.
Mob Sorcery 4 will be out in mid-March
Demon’s Throne 4 will finally be the book after that. Hopefully May/June release. Mob Sorcery will go on hold, as my plans to keep it running as a serial screwed over DT once again.
As a follow-up to the poll I did a couple weeks ago, I've started commissioning some NSFW art. Not sure how much there'll be, but here's the first one.
I call it "Kitties with big titties".
The artist is Greenhelldraws, who can be found on Twitter/X. He'll probably post this there at some point, which is why this is only at the $1 paywall (Patreon requires all NSFW to be paywalled in some way, even though my enti...
2025-02-06 11:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostIt's rare that I ever have anything to say about audiobooks, let alone actual news that isn't a release. But there's change afoot, and publishing with Podium means it affects me earlier than most.
For those who don't want to read a big spiel, here's the short version:
Audible is expanding their all-you-can-listen program (Audible Plus)
Demon's Throne 1 and Neural Wraith 1 are now on Audible Plus. So you can listen to them for $5 a month, or free if you alrea...

A crackling line of lightning burst through Vince and blinded him. Loud booms followed, as a wind lance spell blew a hole in a wall behind them.
“Fuck’s sake,” Vince snapped, blinking lights from his vision.
His dragon shot into the atrium, melting loose pieces of the building frame that got in its way as it charged through. Unable to precisel...

This was done a while ago, but I forgot to post it here.
I'll be releasing an omnibus of the first 3 Demon's Throne books shortly. Given my plan is to have DT4 out around mid-year (the plan was earlier, but it is what it is), this should give the omnibus time to get some reviews and advertising a little momentum to remind people the series exists. Or maybe it's a terrible idea and I should wait until closer to release - honestly, I don't really know. I don't really do them.

2025-02-04 00:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostTime for one of these rare updates. I used to communicate a lot more here, but that's slipped a lot since I created the Discord, and I'll talk a bit about that later in this post.
But first the bit of the update I suspect most people actually care about.
This book has been far too slow and difficult to write for what it is. This is largely a personal thing, but I can talk about some of the issues. It's felt like whenever I get momentum, I let it get away.
The flight to Immanuel’s supplier passed quickly. Ashley used her flight spell, even if it looked absurd to see such a fluffy wolfgirl shooting through the sky alongside Nicki. They traveled to a different supplier than last time. Rather than a basement that felt illegal as hell, they walked into a rundown sporting goods store in the middle of a shopping district.
A suited demon with limbs the size of tree trunks stood by the door when they entered. “Ladies, V.”
“Thor. Lon...
2025-02-02 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Call me stupid, but I’m pretty sure Ashley works for Quintus,” Vince said drily. “Getting her involved sounds like the opposite of your earlier advice.”
Salome shot him a wan smile through her cognac snifter. “I know Ashley. More than that, I know how Immanuel works, and how somebody like her shoots up through the ranks so fast.”
“Betrayal? Because that’s what I think you’re suggesting.”
Laughter filled the room. Salome shook her head. “Such a human ...

Invisible blades of wind scythed through the branches and sticks, turning them into woodchips. She clicked her fingers and the remaining wood scattered, leaving behind little evidence they’d been here.
“I take it you’ve done this a few times,” Vince said, watching the tengu cover up the holes in the ground. She tried to shift dirt with her shoes before Nina rolled her eyes and did ...
2025-01-28 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI'll make a proper public update eventually (TM), preferably when I have a handle on release dates. But this is just to let people know what's happening with the Mob 3 Audiobook
It'd recording in March/April, which means may/June release date. This is a long way away.
Main reasons are:
I'm trying to commission some NSFW art of some of the floofers in the series. Might be able to get some group pieces. We'll see.
I'd like to see floofers people would like to see some NSFW art of. This would just be them naked, no sex or anything. It's multiple choice, but try not to vote for literally everyone.
No guarantees that the highest voted will get art, FYI. I do get final say, group pieces will be themed, and I have a preference to girls with existing cover art (as it's ...
2025-01-21 05:51:13 +0000 UTC View Post“How did you know we were here?” Pola hissed, her tail standing on end.
She stood, and her bodyguards followed suit.
Kiyoko tilted her head at an almost ninety degree angle, but showed no other reaction. Her vivid blue eyes locked onto Vince, as if expecting him to clear up the confusion.
For his part, he didn’t have a good answer. This wasn’t the first time she’d shown up to see him at an odd time, even if the last time had been at a more normal location.

2025-01-17 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostBeen a while since I've made a post like this.
My break from Mob chapters has run significantly overtime, and while part of it is that I'm so writing the Spellblade stuff, it's also that I hit some serious writer's block that only worsened over the break. I wasn't happy with the quality when I took the break, but I was at least sustaining momentum. Getting that back has proven a little difficult. I won't go into more details,but it's been frustrating.
Chapters will resume in a c...
A multi-layered magic circle flickered with light in the center of Gareth’s tower in southern Falmir. Powdered crystals lined the chalk lines and small piles of varying elements lay at the confluences of the many lines in the magic circle. Crystalized sulfur, ammonia contained in a beaker, large chunks of charcoal, and far more—an esoteric list of ingredients that Nathan had collected with ease.
Of course, deciding to gather these particular magical catalysts had been a long journey...
2025-01-11 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I promised last year that I’d do comprehensive commentary for the entire Heretic Spellblade series. I never delivered on the commentary for the final two books, so they’ll have to be wrapped into this commentary, simply because otherwise it won’t happen. This is a series of posts I’ve wanted to do for a while, as it contains a lot of interesting stuff I’ve wanted to talk about for a while.
This post will include broad commentary on the entire Heretic Spellblade series, inc...

Salome's turn to be cover girl, with a flashy cover that shows off her assets. There's also a slightly more revealing alt version that won't make it to Amazon that I'll post for Messengers.
This cover came about because my artist, jiuge, asked to do a specific pose (and wants to do slightly more dynamic poses in general). I do need to vary up my covers more, as they can get a bit samey despite the differing characters, and Salome shines a lot with this pose.
I'll have to eventuall...
2024-12-30 11:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post
My artist proposed doing an alternate version of the Salome cover with bare ass, given I didn't want to risk Amazon's ire with the official cover. So here you are, with bare succubus ass in all its glory.
2024-12-30 11:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostHope you had a great Christmas and are looking forward to 2025 (even if 2024 vanished in the blink of an eye).
I got pulled away from writing by family stuff for Christmas, as always happens, but as I've made clear, Mob 4 has me tossing and turning more than it should. The forced days off made me realize I need a brief break to refocus and it's not a bad idea to write something different, if only very briefly.
So Mob Sorcery 4 will be on break for a week. I should be back around t...
2024-12-27 01:05:21 +0000 UTC View PostNote: No revisions are being made to earlier chapters at this point.
The night passed in a blur. This was in spite of how little alcohol Vince drank. After practically blacking out on NYE, he figured to take it a little easier just two days later. Even if the Lionettis and his lioness girlfriend apparently didn’t believe in moderation.
Several attempts to drag him into the VIP rooms attached to the capo bar failed, and the night wound down. Pola laid claim to him. Surpr...

Doing another Mob cover, but in a different style to my past ones. This features Salome.
Her expression will be updated to be more seductive/flirty, but otherwise let me know your thoughts. I do need to think of a color to recommend her dress to be, if I can think of a preference (ideally a lighter color to make her pop).
2024-12-20 00:55:03 +0000 UTC View PostAs I mentioned in Discord, I'm currently considering rewriting the last 2 chapters. I don't think they work very well and the early momentum of the book has been lost (Mob always has slow pacing but this is very slow, and not much is happening beyond just talking that doesn't necessarily add too much).
I'm increasingly wary of posting V2s of chapters, and have avoided it with Mob so far because I know people hate having to reread stuff, but I do feel the diversion to Lionettie Tower ha...
“If we’re worried the Yakuza just tried to intercept Nina and me, should we be worried about Mei?” Vince asked.
“Yes,” Alessia said flatly. She crossed her arms over her breasts and her tail swished once, low against the ground. “I’m doubtful whatever happened was anything more than a fishing attempt for info, but we can’t drop our guard for any reason.”
The other women nodded in agreement.
Nina leaned against the table with her gauntlet. “Where are we me...

2024-12-10 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostA soft hiss ran through Vince’s mind, and it took him a moment to identify it as Daji’s voice. Her egg was in his jacket pocket. Now she’d shown herself before him, the fox felt fewer compunctions about trying to influence him.
He shut her out and instead raised his hands to mollify Nina.
“I had wanted to talk to you about it,” he said. “Soon.”
“Soon, huh?” Nina raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t we grab some seats and have that chat now?”

2024-12-06 00:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs the title suggests, this is a post about the birdgirls in Mob Sorcery and all the egg laying stuff. If you find that icky and don’t want to learn anything more than you’re forced to in the books themselves, then skip this post.
Every time I release a book, I notice that the egg laying comes up somewhere (often multiple somewhere) and elicits some level of confusion and concern. I don’t go into much detail on the egg stuff, because it often produces comments akin to “ick, why ...
2024-12-02 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“I think you mixed up my apartment with someone’s penthouse,” Vince said, mind finally unfreezing as the nine-tail fox strode toward him.
Her smile turned smug, but she didn’t slow. Aware of how useless putting a few feet between him and the fox was, Vince backpedaled. He slid the soul egg inside his jacket pocket while gripping his cane, ready for a useless fight.
Had Agent’s superiors at Houou sent somebody to deal with him? The nine tails were assuredly an illusion. O...

Two years ago, he’d stirred to find himself on his roommate’s lap. Nina told him that he’d taken up the whole couch and she hadn’t wanted to wake him up when he’d clearly been out all night drinking. In retrospect, he’d been pretty thick to miss the hint. In his defense, his head had been producing aftershocks on the Richte...
2024-11-26 00:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, so time for the big, talky Messenger update where I go into more detail on a bunch of things. I asked on Discord for questions and got a bunch, so they’ll take up a fair chunk of the post.
I’m going to cover a variety of topics, including some that I considered (and sometimes half-wrote) making a separate post for over the year.
