The Grey Warden - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Peering around the column, I looked down the hallway to my right, but the crowd hadn’t moved, and some of them had brown ink on their arms. Probably Fant’s friends. Walking through them to get out of the building would be dangerous. I’d have to leave out the back door even though it would add precious minutes to my rescue attempt.

I turned left and slipped down the hallway and away from the main entrance, sliding along the wall to remain out of sight. When I reache...

Hi!

It has only been a few days since book six launched but it has been well received. This is a huge relief to me. First and foremost, thank you for being a part of it and helping me make the best story possible.

I only have the prologue ready for tonight. And that might change in the future as I get a better vision of how we transition into book seven.

Work crushed me this week, which is why I posted a little earlier than normal. This author is headed to bed for some much ...

Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Prologue

Prologue

Lalquinrial stepped out of the ring of stones that served as a gate portal to this place and breathed deeply. The humid air held a tinge of salt from the ocean waves that crashed into the cliffs nearby. A single moon hung like a lantern in the sky, bathing everything in soft light.

The Darkness had seeped into this galaxy before Pen had stopped it, which made this planet a perfect location for further exploration into this part of the Universe. The Infernal Realm had gain...

Chapter 3

Sister Vy focused back on Mirrah, and the tattoos on Sister Vy’s arms changed rapidly as purple ink poured into her arms. She weaved different healing designs, but tears made my vision blurry, and I couldn’t see the tattoos clearly.

“I can’t tell what’s wrong with her,” Sister Vy said.

Sister Vy stood and rushed over to me as I collapsed onto my side. She rolled me onto my back, and Professor Laken appeared behind her.

“What did you see?” Sist...

Chapter 2

“Enough,” Professor Laken said. “Give Sister Vy your attention.”

Sister Vy turned back to the class as the students shuffled to the front of the room. She raised her arms, and her skin turned purple as she Manipulated her ink. Shockingly, she had more of the precious substance than Fant, something I didn’t think possible.

The ink drained out of sight as she pushed it somewhere else on her body demonstrating again her superb Manipulation skill. That, coupl...

Professor Laken stepped backward as he raised his arms and displayed the tattoos he pushed to his forearms. I turned on my stool, pulling my legs to the side to avoid contact. The old man paused and then drifted away, closer to the forty teenagers he lectured. He blocked my view of Mir...

The book that changed everything

Hi!

So the point of this message is that I am going to post chapters of a stand-alone book that is unrelated to the Divine Apostasy every Wednesday. I plan on releasing it to the public in a few months. It has a long history that shaped my writing career (for good and bad). If you want the details, keep reading.

The long-timers will remember me posting one of my earlier works here. I got about 2/3 of the way through and realized I needed to rewrite the entire last 1/3. I didn't ha...

Hey!

The launch is going well and it looks like I didn't destroy the series with this book. I will post at least one chapter of book 7 this Friday/Saturday as usual.

If you have KU (Kindle Unlimited), even if you don't reread book 6 (although I did smooth some things out, like how Sift acted, that make it worth a reread) I would appreciate it if you'd download the book. This should be free with your KU subscription. 

Just doing that will help the book's ranking and...

Hi!

If you are Step Master, Blapy's Favorite, or Divine I just emailed you the epub final draft of the book along with directions on how to email it to your kindle device.

I moved the release date for the book to Tuesday, July 12 so I am speeding up the release of the chapters to Harvester and Root. I have opened up the next set of chapters for each of these tiers.

The paperback is live and I have ordered copies for the Divine Tier. Will send those out as soon as I get them....

Hi!

Well, we finally reached the end of book six. I am very interested in how you feel about it. If you want to let me know in the comments or in a message on patreon or in the discord, please do. I will wait for some feedback and barring anything catastrophic, will start the process of getting everything loaded into the system. When the book goes live, I will clear all but 10% of the rough draft from the posts per KDP rules.

I will also send out the epub to the appropriate tiers ...

Hi!

I know I'm a bit early this week. We are traveling for the next week and with all the issues the airlines are having, I don't know what time I'll get to my destination. To protect you from that, I thought I would release early. No reason to let the airlines mess up everyone's Saturday.

I got mail done today. If you are owed a book(s) I would expect them to reach you late next week or the week after. Please message me if they have any problems when you get them. Sorry it took s...

Hi!

The chapters this week are a bit shorter, so I released four. This usually happens to me at the end of a book when the pace really picks up. I hope you enjoy them.

My new job continues to take a lot of mental energy but I'm hopeful things will get better soon. My family always laughs at me when I tell them I'm paid to think, but it is kind of true. It is never good for the story when my mind wanders and I start thinking about problems at work instead of problems in the story. ...

Hi!

My third draft is with editors and proofers and for the first time in over half a year, I find myself with a little bit of downtime. 

Book seven has already been started (since I repurposed my original epilogue of book six as the new prologue of book seven) but I will need to work on a rough outline soon. I also need to catch up on some life stuff.

I am behind on sending out author signed copies, and promise to get to that next week. Some of you will get more than o...

Hello!

The highlight of this week was probably deciding on a release date, which is July 15th. It got pushed back due to some delays with editing and a vacation around the fourth. There is a slight possibility that it will release sooner, but the stars would need to align.

The other thing I did was push the epilogue of book six into the prologue of book seven. That meant I had to write a new epilogue for book six this week. The good news is that means book seven has already been s...
