Here we have today's chapter.
Happy to hear feedback :)

After their meeting, when everyone had had their fill of talk and drink and things going forward were settled, Victor walked his command staff to the front door to say goodnight. On the way, as they passed by the short hallway leading to his library, Edeya tugged Victor’s sleeve and asked, “Could I speak to you for a minute? It’s a...

Juliet sat at one of the tables in the “mercantile district” of the pirate base. It was a shoddy, rough affair, with benches built from scrap hull plating. The table’s uneven legs gave it a wobble that made setting a drink down something of a risky affair. Nick was on his way, having just met with one of the representatives ...

Sorry if you're hating the new Patreon layout. I'm not really thrilled. Seems a lot of people are up in arms. Don't take it out on me - I had nothing to do with it! Every time they send out emails asking for feedback from creators, they consistently do the opposite of what I request. 🤣

Victor stood before the ranks of the ninth cohort, ...

Love to hear your feedback :)

The Junk Belt was a lot different in person than Juliet had imagined. True, it was filled with thousands of derelict, stripped ships, hundreds of thousands of pieces of destroyed vessels, and just as many asteroids, large and small. However, they were all a lot further apart than she’d e...

The air in the spherical chamber was moist and warm, and Victor hated breathing it into his lungs. Nonetheless, he walked in and let his gaze drift over the rune-inscribed walls, floors, and ceiling. With nothing else to focus on, he stepped toward the body in the silver chair and the crystal globe...

“That’s right, she’s working on the drive. Should have it operational shortly.” Nick’s voice was calm, lethargic, even, and Juliet wondered if he’d self-medicated or something before getting on comms with the pirates. She hadn’t listened to the whole conversation, but as their ships grew near and the comm light kept flashing, she figured she should know what was going on.
“So why not just be happy wit...

As the chest took form, Victor looked around at the men and women who’d just joined his cause. “Perry, can you take some soldiers and secure the gate?”
“Aye, right away, Lord.” Perry called out several names and led a small group toward the courtyard. Victor nodded, looking around the ...

Juliet gripped her acceleration couch with white knuckles as Nick flew circles around the second AI-driven interceptor, rapidly ripping it apart with the Sharp Lady’s front turret. The rotating, eighteen-millimeter autocannon buzzed like a chainsaw that rattled up through the hull as it streaked fiery tracer rounds out at...

Victor patted Guapo’s shoulder as he approached the big curtain wall. He wasn’t trying to hide or sneak into the keep this second time. He’d killed anything in there that was a threat to him, and he was tired of skulking around in shadows. He’d cast Iron Berserk, summoned his banner, and now he sat atop a glory-attuned...
2023-09-28 16:02:34 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, getting into things!
Reminder about upcoming revisions that aren't on Patreon:
1. Juliet and Nick wear pressurized helmets while flying.
2. I'm adding at least two prior mentions during the setup for this job that the daughter of Sir Rodric is believed to no longer be a free agent, meaning she ran off with the pirates willingly but basically became a hostage when she got there. Of...

Victor floated in a dark, timeless void, his meandering thoughts the only clue to his continued existence. His physical presence was gone; his inner self, the place where his aura and Cores existed, was gone. He drifted free, weightless, bodiless, a clump ...
2023-09-26 15:42:36 +0000 UTC View PostHere's today's chapter! I enjoyed the speculation about who was coming through that door. :)
-Plum
Angel responded to the exploding door instantly, firing Juliet’s synapses into overdrive to the point where it seemed the flying particles of wood were drifting on a gentle breeze. Juliet, of course, was caught mid-recoil as her mind accelerated, and suddenly, she felt like she was falling back in slow motion, too. ...

Valla stood atop the parapet and watched as the world burned. When Victor had come up with the idea to burn the trees, to start a fire that would hopefully kill the undead hordes hiding in that foggy forest, she’d tried to visualize what it would be like. She’d never seen a forest fire, never seen one of the brush fires that sometimes brought refugees ...

Juliet stepped off the tram in front of the enormous hangar building that was built against the southern edge of Callisto’s main dome. The sidewalk outside was crowded with people standing around chatting, eating snacks from the food carts parked outside, and milling about, moving in and out of the wide-open, truck-sized doors in the front of the gigantic plasteel structure. She could...
2023-09-22 10:50:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! Before I get into the meat of this post, let me make one thing clear to (hopefully) allay any concerns that come up:
I have no intention to stop writing Victor of Tucson or Cyber Dreams anytime soon.
Whew, that's out of the way! :) Now, on to the subject at hand: I like to write, and though I'm busy with Cyber Dreams and Victor of Tucson chapters almost every day of the week, sometimes I have a little extra time, and my brain has ideas it wants to wr...

Victor roared with fury and dove toward the opening at the base of the throne, but it slid closed as he hurtled through the air. He smashed a shoulder into the huge stone seat, and he felt it give, but nearly imperceptibly so. Victor was just contemplating pulling his gigantic hammer from his storage ring when the first of the wampyr slamm...
2023-09-21 16:03:40 +0000 UTC View PostHopefully, this chapter adds a little more clarity to the "Juliet acting out of character" bit from the last chapter. Enjoy and please don't hesitate to share your thoughts/ideas :)

Victor’s Quinametzin heart surged with fury at the wampyr’s words—a challenge and an insult. Did this ugly, gray monstrosity think it could stand before him so brazen? Did it believe itself a match for his fury? Victor glared around, Lifedrinker on his shoulder, and, as blood dripped from his armor, from his knuckles, and his elbows, maki...
2023-09-19 19:07:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! Victor of Tucson Book Three, Spirit Hunter, is available on Kindle and Audible as of today. If you're interested in a format other than web-based, please check it out. I think the Audible book is a great experience. Robb Moreira did a fantastic job, as usual!
Good morning, everyone. Enjoy the chapter :)
As always, I really appreciate your feedback.

“Uh, you wanna tell me what that was all about?” Nick watched Larry and his two bodyguards disappear into the crowds lining the sidewalk, and Juliet pulled out her deck, activating the jamming field.
She waited for Nick to look at her directly, then said, “There’s a lot I need t...

Victor carefully descended the inner courtyard steps, careful not to clomp or scuff his boots on the stones. Victoria’s obscuring mist had worked like a charm so far, clinging to the three of them, hiding them from the watchful eyes of Dunstan’s posted guards. Kethelket had flittered up to the top of each wall, lowering a rope for Victor to climb while Victoria clung to his back, a pro...

Larry let his golden fingers clink against the glass, tapping out a gentle tune, something that had been buzzing around in the back of his head all morning. Was he nervous? Probably. He’d never been to a place like this, a place for the new and old money to mingle, where the modern aristocrats made decisions that would affect entire e...

As Victor and Guapo tore through the smoke-filled forest surrounding the keep, he truly began to appreciate how much his body had changed since he’d left Earth. It was one thing to say he was stronger or bigger or that he was sturdier and healed faster, but some of the more subtle changes weren’t so glaring. They weren’t things he notic...

“Hey, Nick.” Juliet studied his face in the call window; he looked tired. His skin wasn’t exactly smooth during a good day, and now he had dark circles under his eyes and a heavy layer of salt and pepper stubble. Had he looked that rough at breakfast? Juliet probably hadn’t noticed, cons...

Victor sprang out of the chair and started for the foyer at Lam's words, brushing past her. His mind raced, trying to make sense of her words. As he hurried toward the front door, he gave voice to his questions, “What do you mean? What betrayal?”
Lam and Valla were right behind him, and Lam said, “Not sure! I...

Despite the decisive nature of her action, when the Texan thundered, echoing off the big metal bay doors and plasteel walls, it almost surprised her. Frida was certainly surprised. The hot, deadly slug smashed into her chest, and she flopped onto her back, hitting the concrete with a thud and wheezing, “Oof!”
“Juliet!” Angel sounded just as ca...

Victor hefted the lead-stoppered, blue jar in his hand, watching the thick liquid sluggishly slosh around inside. “It just starts burning when broken?”
“That’s right.” Kethelket grinned as Victor handed it back. “Once the containment runes are broken, the alchemical mixture will ignite. We have ten for each of my Naghelli. As you’d plann...
2023-09-10 16:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostSo, a little more introspection from Juliet. I have a couple of questions at the end of the chapter if anyone feels like answering. I'd put them here, but . . . spoilers :D

Victor tried to focus on the strange, hooded intruder, but he had a fiery battle taking place in his gut and with his spirit. He grunted as he sat there, crunching down on the remains of the heart, smashing the meat between his teeth, and then swallowing it. The being who’d appeared before him took a step back, brushing against the stone sill of the window, and glanced rapidly left and right, taking in the s...
