Clarifying the Fertile Valley and Hellmarine situations!

Both books are done and edited. Both books are with the audiobook teams. I will release both books early here, but since the release date is further away, I'll wait on Hellmarine, and for Fertile Valley, I'll do a slower trickle from here. Just so you know!

A Few Important Announcements! (Master Class 5 is out!)

Some good news, some slightly disappointing, I'm sure.

1. Solar Dragons 8 is in progress and will release this year.

2. My wife's book, Rise of the Strongest Girl Next Door, is in progress and will release this year.

3. Fertile Valley and Hellmarine unfortunately are too high stakes for me to release with all the election, hurricane, and holiday drama. Sales ALWAYS go down in November and December, so I will prioritize series continuations for now. But thi...

Fertile Valley chapters 6-7 + Missy's POV

6 A Family Breakfast

I knocked on the door of Queenie and Mayor Luna’s house at around seven in the morning. When the door opened, Queenie was there, already dressed in a pleated khaki skirt and a babydoll t-shirt. She still dressed like a hot twenty-something even though she was also a mother, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

She took one look at me and decided that the correct response was hugging me. Admittedly, I bristled a bit at the embrace, but I let her do it. In ...

Fertile Valley chapters 4-5

4 Welcome to Your Destiny

I took a step back in surprise at the sight of a beautiful flesh and blood woman standing in front of me, accidentally breaking free from her embrace and falling off the pedestal onto the ground. I landed on my ass, much to the amusement of Apple the Harvest Fairy—and yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds. But I had no choice anymore. Either this was real, or I was so fucking baked off my mind that it might as well be treated as real.

2 The Newest Scion

The road spread out in front of me like the legs of a yoga instructor, and all I could do was watch for hours on end as it bent, twisted, arched, and knotted. The journey was many hours long and boring, but it went by quickly enough, even going through a time zone shift. Thing was, I had left my apartment at roughly eight in the evening, so I was showing up in the middle of an underpopulated flyover community at two in the morning, local time.

Fertile Valley Re-Upload: Ch. 1 + Queenie Luna's Intro

1 Rock Bottom, Thy Name is Pete

Have you ever had that moment where you see yourself completely without having to look in a mirror? That split second of transcendent clarity where you’re finally able to pierce the proverbial veil of your own bullshit and peer inside your soul? For me, that moment was March 15th, 2024, at about seven twenty-five P.M.

 I did not like what I saw.

What you have to know about me is that I was a diagnosed addict of the ca...

Rise of the Strongest Girl-Next-Door - Ch. 1

Hey guys, I'm coauthoring a yandere romance litrpg book with my wife called "Rise of the Strongest Girl-Next-Door". I need a few more beta readers (she's still writing it) to read as we go, but I thought we'd share our draft for Chapter 1 here, and if you are intrigued, you can let me know on Discord and I can add you to the beta group.

Fertile Valley is Complete!

I will be taking down Fertile Valley's current chapters soon... TO UPLOAD THE NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION! I worked tirelessly this last week to finish up this book, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out! I ask that you guys start it over from the very beginning because a lot of details have changed, including a ton of foreshadowing. Without it, the climax of the book won't make as much sense as it sh...

Hellmarine book 2 cover art

Couldn’t help myself. This is art featuring a gauntlet projection of the Overmaiden. Has anyone figured out where we’ve read about her before yet? If not, you likely will soon when I release some other books in the very near future.

Hellmarine chapter 5 rough draft

The laboratory was a vivid contrast to the heightened activity of the rest of the ship as Mandy stepped into it. Word was spreading quickly about the feats of the Hellmarine on the surface, and more were sure to come as he got his armor fitted and tests conducted. Reactions were mixed, as some didn’t care for his lack of recognition of the chain of command, but others were too dazzled by his kill count to care. 

The lab was different. It was mostly quiet, with only the sound of a...

Hellmarine ch. 4 rough draft

The Overmaiden watched the Hellmarine, now wrapped in a tarp like a crude toga, gaze out the viewport as the drop ship ascended through the atmosphere toward the Midnight Sea. Though he appeared to be relatively placid, she could see the tension rising in him through the modest sensor array of her mobile emitter. By this point, the damage from the incursion to the world below was visible from space as fire and destruction swept across its surface. 

It didn’t matter to the horde t...

Hellmarine ch. 3 rough draft

The Overmaiden observed the young man as he emerged from the cryopod, looking much different than he had moments before. Heralded by a series of cracks, pops, and other horrendous sounds, the man in the cryopod had been virtually reborn, his body growing and changing as it responded to the serum.

The changes were most pleasing. Already well built, his muscle mass had nonetheless increased by over two hundred fifteen percent, and his body elongated to a nearly inhuman height of approxima...

Hellmarine chapter 2 (rough draft)

Dr. Mandy Hughes checked the medical gauntlet for the third time since boarding the drop ship. She’d been nervous many times in her life, but none of them compared to what she was experiencing as the ship careened out of the docking bay and down to the surface of Aonus. The Overmaiden stood close to the cockpit with her hands clasped behind her back, perfectly balanced by the compensators built into her sophisticated mobile emitter. Mandy was stuck back with the Marines.

I need blurb feedback for a secret project

HERE IS THE BLURB. TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS, ANY OF THEM:

The End of Days has come... but not for us.

The UEC was fighting a losing battle against the demons for decades, forced to sacrifice more ground every day. But the Overmaiden, a technoghost AI and leader of the resistance, has created the perfect weapon: The Hellmarine.

He lost his family to the demons. Now, all that's left is hate and rage and unyielding power. Rip, crunch, gore, dismember—this un...
