“Get back here.” On her belly, Hazel scooted across the verdant moss, hands clasped together as she tried to catch the squeaking ball of fur that was scurrying away from her. Twelve of them chirped behind her, confined in an iron barred cage, their wings beating in tandem to try and pull the box into flight. Hazel huffed, head banging against the ground. The loamy scent of the earth filled...

Just want to do a quick update. If you are someone who receives monthly content from me (this does not include the RO shorts) you need to e-mail me with your prompts. I started trying to email people individually but things have been getting lost in the messages I do receive or I was just emailing with no response back and spamming peoples boxes. So, if you have a monthly lore or short or a MC short, please email me on Patreon or discord.
Hope every...

“You stupid, good for nothing, piece of off colored detritus. You had one job! One job and you failed to accomplish even that mediocre task.”
Gripping the stalk of wheat tight, Belladonna crouched down, putting her full weight on her haunches and pulling back. The wheat stuck stubbornly into the ground, refusing to budge. Brown booted heels slid across the ground, embedding deep grooves in...

Laying back on the floor, Milo watched the dust swirl up above. Little flecks of gold rained down around him in a swirling, slow motion miasma. It was beautiful really. Like an evening rain shower. That is, until it got into his eyes and nose and he was coughing and sneezing with a beam laying over his chest.
“Are you okay?” Hazel shouted at him from above, peering down at him from the rafter...
2023-06-04 21:36:18 +0000 UTC View PostSpoilers ahead for Book One. Read with caution.
What is something that can make the characters genuinely laugh? What’s their sense of humor like?
Hazel laughs when others are happy. She is one of those people that if people around her are enjoying themselves, she is smiling and laughing, whether a joke has been told or not. She finds it hilarious when people can poke fun at themselves. And of course, any time Mr. Billows does anything cat ...

There were two things Belladonna liked to do on her day off. Curl up in the solitude of her room to read a book and not see anyone. So, when Milo Next asked for a meeting, her initial reaction was absolutely not. In fact, her initial reaction was to laugh uproariously at him and remind him that she worked for no one. And then, she had paused. In his inquiry he stated that the perso...

The flames stretched high into the night, bonfires and torches dotting the beach to stave off the shadows. Milo walked among them, maneuvering between the walls of heat, eyes cast down towards the ocean waves. The cages were stacked high tonight, filled with more people than he had seen in a while. He recognized most of them. People that he had danced with in the taverns. Ones he had wor...

Malcolm stormed through the streets. Like a fool, he had wound up at Milo’s last night, shaking and sweating as raw power coursed through him. There was nowhere else he could think of going and if he was going to die, he wanted it to be in Milo’s arms. On a good day he could admit it was because the two of them would always be connected. That the love they shared had not diminished. ...

Viewing the world through a constructs eyes did not do it justice. Hazel had always been very aware of the limitations her magic provided. While she could travel through the streets through a body made of sticks and twigs, she could see and feel very little. Yet, it was a comfort in a way. Knowing that if someone did say something, or if someone tried to do something, the effects would be dull...
2023-05-13 21:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostTrying something new this weekend!
So, I've been a bit absent lately. Not going to lie, my mental health took a nose dive right around the time that I finished this book. The nights I released the last chapter, both public and for Patreon, I had some really shitty family stuff happening and I released the chapters for something good to counter it. Then, while life has not been bad, I had to come to the realization that writing is such a coping mechanism for me, that by not w...

There was a certain smell that lingered around the pits. A mixture of decaying flesh and waste along with the fishy sea salt brine that washed across this area of the beach come high tide. The moans were drowned out by the crashing of the ocean. The ones who screamed loudest were often silenced if they could be heard from over ...
2023-05-05 21:51:48 +0000 UTC View PostQ&A time! Who is (or at least has the reputation of being) the most powerful individual in night market history?
Oh, that is an incredibly tough one. I thought this would be an easy answer but the more I sit and think about it, all the RO’s are pretty damn strong. I think if we went by reputation alone, the ladies win. Bella has a reputation of being someone that can take an individual down without lifting a finger, mainly because her vast networ...

So, if you haven't seen it yet, I am now on Steam. Release date is TBA but if you are able to, head on over and put me on your wishlist. It helps boost the game to people who may not know about it.
This week:
I finished up the edits on Chapter One. I'm pretty happy with what I did because man did it need to be cleaned up. It may be a bit shorter than the previous version, but there is less arbitrary choices in my opinion.

The ash had cooled in the hearth, a soft mound of grey with flecks of lavender and sage. Hazel crouched before it, kneeling on the apothecary floor. Behind her, the floorboards were still split from Malcolm’s return but the gate had all but crumbled away. The worst of the glass had been cleaned up. Hazel had done most of it alone. No longer did she have the help from those ...

“Are you sure this is okay? I know this place makes you uncomfortable.” The room itself was bright with a large arched window that showcased thick shafts of artificial sun. Just outside, hedges of blue hydrangea and pale indigo wisteria filled the garden beds. A stretch of water ran down the center of the lawn, lined with white marble and statues that moved every hour on the hour. They had...

Wow is the editing process not as fun. LOL! Believe me, if I could pay someone to take my brain and rewrite the scenes I want rewritten, while also going through and fixing dialogue, adding options, and cleaning up paragraphs? I would. Hands down this is my least favorite part of the creation process. I remember saying that not reading my stuff and going back through it later would be future me's problem.
I am future me.
I am suffering the consequences. 2023-04-17 20:39:27 +0000 UTC View Post
The waves rolled over each other in a mimicry of a storm, warning off whoever entertained the thought of walking out towards the desolate sea. A thick brine of sea salt coated the rocks as kelp and dead eels smacked against their unmovable walls. Standing above it all, was Milo. Hands in his pockets as he looked down at the roll of the Deep and the churning underbelly of a beast waiting to swa...

Magic was banned in the NM year of 1752. The Velvet Guard had been campaigning for the ban as the usage became so rampant within the districts that there was no order or real ability to facilitate law. Magic could alter minds, memory, and physical situations, leaving a lot of crimes to go unpunished. During the NM 1752, the Velvet Guard was finally able to convince the Barons to co...

It's funny that I could pump out the story no problem but I'm having some sort of crisis going back through it all. I just want to focus in on that. Monthly short stories and lore content will still come out, along with the Q&A's but I think I want to take a break from an entirely different story for a bit. It's not gone fore...

The mists had dissipated and the bodies that had piled up could have formed a wall. It wasn’t as if Belladonna cared. She had known the kind of show that Kavatti had run and suspected that what lay within her little fog filled domain was not going to be anything less than a horror show. But, the sheer amount of it did surprise her. Most were decaying by now, others crushed bones ...

“He’s not here.”
Malcolm stood among the burnt out remains of a button factory he had not stepped inside since his youth. The walls were intact, a small miracle really, but the old machines were nothing more than ash and various thimbles and little coin sized paraphernalia, littered the charred floor. Malcolm looked up at Feebus, watching the bigger man sort through the wreck...

A single flame sparked, glowing bright as Milo breathed in, the smoke curling from his lips a moment later. He flicked the ash to the side, staring at the headstone that was before him. It was unmarked. Probably Malcolm’s doing. He was smart enough to not advertise this death. Not when so many could take advantage of it. Milo knew it was them, however. Could feel them, still beneath the ground. Wr...
