Limitless Seas, Chapter 21.

Chapter 21.

Before they lost the sun completely, the crew that were going on the raid were armed and given some time to spar with their new weapons. All but the halfling opted to use the shields that the officers had just purchased, and with a little work, they all found a leather jerkin that would fit them. The armor wasn’t the best, but even leather could turn a blade or cushion a blow that might otherwise prove fatal.

He divided up the assault force into teams led by Nogreb...

Chapter 20.

Back on the docks, Larson could see Tarley was back aboard the Gull Dropping along with a small gaggle of people that he assumed were his new crew. As he closed in on the ship, Larson could see the prospective crewmen were quite a diverse lot. He had mostly humans, along with another orc, and a pair of halflings, for a total of twelve new crew.

“Attention, captain on deck!” Tarley bellowed out as Larson came aboard. The new sailors formed a ragged line a...

Chapter 19.

Larson stopped at a clothing merchant on his way back to the port, the area near the docks had several options for him to choose from. He bought a few sets of heavy-duty working clothes as well as a few nicer things, just in case. He did save quite a bit since there was no need to purchase pants or shoes, one of the many benefits of being a naga. There were also several vendors specializing in various arms and armor. Larson needed something light and flexible, that wouldn�...

“Ok Lucian, where does your family live, let’s go meet them,” Larson ordered.

“They have nothing to do with this, I’ll work for you, but I won’t see them come to any harm,” Lucian demanded. Stopping in his tracks, Larson reared up on his coils, looming over the merchant. Lucian shrank back at first, then stood defiantly. He had a backbone under his meek exterior, Larson liked that. There was really nothing the man could do, according to the contract, wh...

Limitless Seas, Chapter 17.

Chapter 17.

Larson woke with a start. He wasn’t dead, again, no, he had just been sleeping. Maybe his new body did need a longer period of rest, at least occasionally. He was thirsty, hungry, not sure how long he had been out. From the position of the sun shining through the window of his cabin, it was midday, well past the time a captain needed to be about his duties. He gathered his things, checking that the coins had been untouched during his rest before leaving the cabin.

Chapter 16.

“Hey there, did you want a snack or some coffee? These cookies are really good, I have chocolate chip ones, but the white chocolate raspberry are my favorite, well, except for the nuts in them. Why do old people always want nuts in their cookies, its kind of gross,” A far to chipper voice called out to Sally, startling her.

“Oh, uh, no, I’m fine, thank you for asking,” Sally replied. The girl was dressed in a hospital uniform with a large volunteer...

Limitless Seas, Chapter 15.

Chapter 15.

Dawn was just peeking over the horizon when the quiet was broken by the rumbling sound of an ogre belching. Better than the ship’s bell, Bug Bartholomew’s belch was met with grumbles and complaints as the crew made their way over to the still bubbling pot of stew that Gilroy had kept simmering all night. Some chose to breakfast on the various fruits that the scavenging teams had found on the beach, but Larson opted for another bowl of stew, feeling the need for a more ...

Limitless Seas, Chapter 14.

Larson slid off the side of the Gull Dropping and back into the sea. It was dark and though he could see better than a human, Larson was still hampered by the near pitch black of the deeper water. Thinking logically, the makon must have tracked him back to shore after sensing the huge amount of blood that had been shed in his fight against other makon and its shark companion. It either took them time to arrive, or time to gather their forces, he wasn’t sure which. If they planned t...

Chapter 13.

Larson readied his spear and verified that his mana was full as the crew rushed toward the open crates, frantically grabbing the weapons inside. Looking around for his shield, Larson cursed himself for leaving it aboard ship. It wasn’t useful underwater, and he was beginning to regret choosing the shield bash ability. Now, when he could put it go good use, it was safely stashed away in his cabin. There was nothing he could do about it now, though, the Makon were approach...

Limitless Seas, Chapter 12.

Chapter 12.

The cabin was clear of everything but a few tiny fish that were darting about, feasting on the bits of flesh still floating around from his previous fight. Thinking back on that fight, he realized that the Makon he had faced seemed scrawny compared to the others he saw when choosing his race. Perhaps it had to do with the dearth of sea life inside the bay. It was a mystery he had no intention of trying to solve, his focus was on the sealed box in front of him. He tied the ...

“Shada, come on out and send a runner back to the ship to tell them we’re on our way, I don’t want to cause a panic when I arrive with our new friend,” Larson ordered. Shada sent of one of the crew before she and the remaining crewman approached warily.

“Hi lady,” Bartholomew greeted.

“Uh, hello?” Shada replied, still a bit taken aback by the turn of events.

“Don’t worry Shada, we’ve come to an agreement. Mr.…” Larson paused whil...

Chapter 10.

Larson’s mana had fully replenished by the time they made it into the jungle. Shada led them on a roundabout course through the trees, avoiding any large tangles of undergrowth as their path took them toward the center of the small island. Shada had the crew with her make note of any edibles they passed on their way; they would need every bite of food they could get if they wanted to make it back to port. It didn’t take long before Larson heard the booming voice, make ...

Limitless Seas, Chapter 9.

We're back with the Limitless Seas chapter. Let's see what trouble Larson can get into. 

Chapter 9.

Larson propelled his way toward the nearest wreck, one that had sat under the waves for longer than any of the others if the amount of corrosion and growth on the ship’s hull were any indicator. Taking a firm grip on his spear, Larson noticed that his severed finger had, thankfully, started to grow back It had been severed just above the hand and now the first kn...

Artwork for Derelict book 3: Sarton Station.

I think I'll have a bit more added to it, but love the look so far. What are your thoughts?

Cat Core, Chapter 8.

 Next week I'll start posting the chapters of Tales From the Upgrade for you.  

Chapter 8. 

A few days passed and there hadn’t been any reappearance from the goblins and no further rat incursions, giving Florence time to plan the decoration of her home. She wanted something special, something that her new little babies would love. Most importantly, she wanted something that would protect them all. 

“You’ve been thinking for days, don’t you think...

Chapter 7. 

“Look, you can buy the shield or not, I don’t care. There are plenty of people in line who want to actually buy something. Make your purchases and move out of the way,” the grumpy shopkeeper demanded. 

“You should treat a noble client as a valued asset, not chase them off,” Vanderman replied. Shara cringed as she watched their group leader try, once again, to flaunt his station. 

“Oh, my lord, please forgive this po...

Cat Core, Chapter 6.

Chapter 6. 

“First the rats, and now these goblin thingies, why do more creatures keep coming in? I thought you said we would attract adventurers not every filthy creep in the county,” Florence said. Somehow her dungeon instincts craved adventurers to explore her home, knowing that for the most part, they didn’t intend her harm and would only seek to profit from the challenge. These things, well, they were unnatural and disturbing. Florence wondered if th...

What's happening next?

 I wanted to give everyone an update on what I'm working on. Right now I have one of my earlier works that has been expanded and is now going through the editing process for publication at the end of October. It's something a little different, it's a look at our world after it has been changed into something resembling a gaming system. Mayhem and chaos ensue and the book will look at different s...

Cat Core Chapter 5.

The glowing ball of cash on the floor in front of her slowly took shape as the body for her first cat defender. With a final flash of light, a delightful fellow sat upon the floor, cleaning his paws. Her defender was larger than any cat she had seen, except for old Misty, the mangy cat that Lauren Louis had. She couldn’t say no to the poor thing, and really overfed it to the point it looked like an overfilled, hairy balloon and could barely walk. No siree, this here cat i...

Cat Core, Chapter 4.

“Florence, let’s talk about expanding your dungeon. A basic knowledge package should have been sent to you just now. Please tell me you didn’t do something foolish with it?” Doug asked. 

“Well Doug, if you mean those hateful thoughts that someone tried to force on me, I pushed those out. When I pushed them out, some of what I learned kind of, well, just might have been pushed out along with them. Make no mistake, I don’t regret it one bit. Florence Va...

Cat Core, Chapter 3.

Chapter 3. 

“It’s time for you to get a first look at your new body,” Doug said with a flourish. Florence noticed the area around her gradually brightening, she could finally see! Unfortunately, what the light revealed wasn’t the greatest. She was in an underground chamber; the walls and floors were simple stone. Somehow, she was able to see all around her at the same time, and it didn’t even make her dizzy. A faint glow came from the center of the ro...

Cat Core, Chapter 2.

Chapter 2. 

Darkness still covered Florence, and without any sensory input, she had no idea how much time had passed. Eventually, a pinprick of light was seen, and then random shapes and squiggles began to appear in front of her, like something from one of them fancy computer doohickeys that everyone was into. Her internal thoughts were interrupted as the gibberish transformed into English. 

Welcome, new core, it is time to complete your init...
