Laurence had only known the road for two years, and yet already she could conceive of no other way to live. It seemed a distant thing, the town she had come from. Montfort might as well be in another world entirely. These days she found an urge began to itch if they even stayed in the same town for too long...

Montfort was a dead place.
It was a pretty little town by the river, near sunlit woods rich with fruits and game. The harvests were lush, the weather good and the taxes low. The town was close enough to the good road north for peddler caravans to pass, but not important enough to pay it attention when wars swep...

Book VII started today, so I'm putting this post up to confirm that the update schedule will be staying the same as it was during Book VI: two large chapters, coming out Tuesdays and Fridays.
There are two fresh changes, though! It's been pointed out to me over the years that patrons on here don't actually get much out of supporting me, so I've finally shaken things up a bit. Extra chapters, the first goal reward, will be Patreon-exclusive from April onwards. They'll be...

Hey!
The update schedule for the last book will be proceeding differently, since I was starting to feel the sting of three different chapters a week by last book's end. Instead of three smaller updates I'll be putting up two larger ones, on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Word count wise I will theoretically split the length of what the third chapter would have been in two and assign it to the two remaining updates, but practically speaking I expect more content will end up put...
2020-01-05 23:31:54 +0000 UTC View PostHey!
So, in summary this is an announcement to all of you supporting me that the goal for three updates a week will be hitched up. Since I've gotten on that schedule it's become increasingly clear to me that I can't both maintain it and take contracts on the side while maintaining quality in both. The corrected goal is only slightly higher than what your generous support is sending me monthly, but the difference would make a significant difference to my personal finances. It should allo...
