Here's the blog on my website about it.
The book published so fast, I need to hurry up and nix the chapters on here right now!

Hey everyone!
I should be hitting publish on Asgard Awakening 2 in an hour or two. When that happens, I need to take down the chapters (because of Kindle Unlimited)..
If you wanted to read the chapters and you didn't get to, maybe we can work something out.
For folks I owe ebooks to, I'll get those out to you after the ebook comes out. As soon as I hit publish, I'm going to pass out. I've actually been up too long already.
In Delvers news, I...
Hey everyone, I'm too tired to keep editing, so I'm going to go to bed.
As soon as I wake up I will be finishing the last chapters of Asgard Awakening 2!
I'm going to be putting up 7 chapters. The last chapter of AA2 is ch. 29.
After you get done with the story, I'd love to get your feedback, but please feel free to leave feedback on chapters too!

“Master, I don’t know how much of this I can take. I need to rest, but the longer we’re here, the harder it is to get any real sleep,” Namaste said.
Trav nodded. His group had b...

Hey everyone!
First I have some news.
The last 3 or 4 or 5 chapters of Asgard Awakening 2 will be going up around the 23-ish. There are also several chapters done of Engineering Ludus, and I will put those up after that. I just need to finalize the contract with the author and do some editing.
And of course, by the end of this month, I'll be working on Delvers 4. :)
In other news, I had a conversation with Melli a couple days ago about WMDs and doomsday...
Hey everyone!
This is kind of a fun post about something I just bought (that I shouldn't have bought until after Asgard Awkening 2 has come out, and my bills paid...but YOLO!) .
I've always wanted a full size arcade machine to capture some nostalgia. Getting an Arcade1up machine from Walmart ended up being the first step toward actually springing for a custom cabinet. For those who don't know, Arcade1up cabinets are pretty small, but they're also relatively ch...
The Veil-overlap had cycles, but the place was so depressing, it still felt like the days never ended. There were cycles, though, so Trav knew it was a day later that he received a message from Yaakova that a group was approaching. She winged her way back, landed and transformed so they wouldn’t waste her communication device’s power. Trav was waiting with Bravoosa, Hravalin, and Narnaste. Ysintrill was behind their group, working to mask their trail f...

What is going on? Yaakova angrily sent. She was using the communication device Trav had made for her. The enchanted gadgets only allowed a small number of messages per day.
Don’t waste your messages, Trav sent back. I will explain after we regroup.
Yaakova gave him a look but made a small nod and looked forward again. Hravalin must have noticed and understood that there had been an exchange because she nodded...

Trav stood at the front of his group with Hravalin and Bravoosa. He hadn’t been sure what to expect when they’d traveled to the center of the harpy territory where the Bernacian Royal was supposed to live, but he’d still been surprised when it’d been a swamp. He also hadn’t expected the crowd.
The three Guide groups stood on what was more or less an island in the middle of the bog, about a mile from the Royal palace. All around the island were ot...

“So how is this thing going to work?” asked Trav. He was sitting in a private room with his valkyries, Hravallin, and Captain Bravoosa. When he’d first been told about the invite list for this remote viewing, he’d been a little surprised that Hravallin would be attending without any guards or servants. Then he’d looked at it from a different perspective.
The only reason Yaakova’s sister was likely still alive right now was because of Trav ...
Yay, new arc!
------------------------
Trav’s work with training his harpy soldiers was going well so far. A lot had changed over the last week, so much that he was secretly glad he’d stayed too busy to really stew on anything.
He’d actually gotten access to more of Odin’s memories. Helping to train troops was something he could have managed by himself, mainly because they were mostly using weapons and armor that he’d created himself....

Some of the zing is taken out of this with the hidden title, but I still want to keep that close to the chest until the book is done.
Trav was lying in bed with Tiffany, the sheets wrapped around both of them in crazy ways. The ceiling overhead was gone again, and he was looking at a distant nebula. Trav thought the sight was beautiful, and so was his new wife. The fact she might be immortal, and he might be too, was something he hadn’t really considered before this moment.
He tightened his arm around her shoulders and thought of the past for a while. Being remarried felt weird-...
Hey folks! I hope you've been enjoying Asgard Awakening 2 so far, and you're ready for some more Delvers next month!
I'm hoping to have another AA2 chapter up tonight.
This post is for the folks who were concerned about my recovery after I fell. For a reminder, I hurt myself while I was being chased by wasps, because I accidentally stuck a finger in a wasp nest.
My life is weird.
So I really messed myself up. I was bleeding from like four differen...
While Trav cleaned up, he heard Rahim’s voice. When he got out of the bathroom and saw that Rahim was safe, he felt himself physically relax. The soldiers that had been with the boy--some of Bravoosa’s company, told Narnaste that the captain had ordered Rahim brough to Trav.
Then after making sure Rahim was safe and settled, Trav had left the room with two of his valkyries. Ysintrill and Rahim stayed back in their borrowed chambers.
Trav, ...

-------------------------------------
The room was somewhat dark, very old looking, and entirely made of stone. Trav wasn’t sure why harpies seemed to build all of their most important structures with stone. He decided it was probably as much about a sign of wealth as for defensive abilities.
A harpy woman with similar plumage as Yaakova sat in a dark throne against the far wall--strange pink torches stood to the sides. Trav did a double take...
Well folks, I know some of you already know this because you follow me on Facebook, but I accidentally stuck my finger into a wasp nest yesterday when I was just grabbing the railing of my dock, which led to an unfortunate series of events.
Long story short, it startled the hell out of me to be stung so many times so fast, and the wasps all started flying around, so I kind of lizard-brained it, ran away, and fell. So I was bruised, scraped, and I screwed up my arm.
At firs...
I know times are tough, and a bunch of folks have had to drop their tiers on here. Some folks have left entirely. A few have actually raised (!) their amount to try supporting me. We've also gotten a few new people in the last couple of weeks.
Since this entire thing is elective, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone is here with me. Being a writer really creates a lot of uncertainty, but knowing that I can get some help via Patreon every month is hel...
I really went back and forth about posting this, because I liked putting up a chunk of chapters last time.
However, after polishing, this chapter is so good I needed to share it.
Enjoy!

Jake was starting to get hungry, which was a problem, because when he passed a freshly dead deer on the side of the road, he got a feeling like his mouth was watering Of course, being dead, he couldn’t actually be hungry, and his mouth ...
2020-05-06 14:33:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the prologue for the first book in a new series, the continuation of Engineering Ludus! For those who have read the Surviving Ludus Anthology, you are likely aware of the story.
Either way, I told the author we should have a synopsis before the new book begins, so here we are. :)
*Note -- I'm going to put this on Facebook too in my reader group, but the rest of the chapters will be here.
I'l also be adding a few links to the author's patreon and other ways ...
It's done, and it's awesome.
Which version do you like most -- background, or no background?
I don't think I'd shared this yet, but Will just did, so now I can for sure. :)
Hey everyone!
The composition will likely change a little, and the name might change too, but this will give you a feel for how the first cover for Jake's story will look. :)

I'm excited to announce that we're probably going to have another Ludus series! For those of you who read the Anthology, Engineering Ludus is going to get its own dedicated book, and maybe a series. :)
This will not affect my writing time, and will be written by the author of the original Engineering Ludus story, Steve Keiler!
You can expect a synopsis for Engineering Ludus to hit Patreon soon, then I'll be putting chapters up as they're done.
I mentioned before that I wanted to build a range, but I'm not quite there yet. Building proper ranges is going to take a lot of time at the very least. So instead, so far I've just put some targets up off the back porch.
Melli has been getting really into archery lately (between playing Apex Legends--she's a little addicted) but she also really likes my Gamo Urban, a PCP pellet rifle. "PCP" means that we use something like a bicycle pump on steroids to pump it up to ...
Hey all!
Since my discord is mostly full of people from Patreon here, I'm going to try something new and do a voice chat tomorrow (4/22) at 7pm Eastern.
This is going to be Q&A, talking about writing, that sort of thing. Everything will be very low key and informal.
I'm going to take a page from how Andrea P. does it and just mute everyone in chat, and answer written questions.
So...you can come if you want! No pressure, but I'd love to see you ther...
This kind of came out of nowhere, but I love this art of Uluula.
Folks, it cost a ton of money, but as of a few minutes ago...
drumroll...
My house is mold free! The difference is amazing. Breathing feels...lighter now, and my mood has already improved. It's nuts.
It'd be cool if I actually get a stimulus check to help pay for it, but man...no regrets. I'll keep everyone posted, but hopefully I can put a chapter or two up in the next few days now.

Hey everyone,
Instead of just staying silent or just apologizing for the delays in chapters, I figured I'd tell you the newest reason why.
The complications from moving just seems to never end.
We'd been cleaning the kitchen for like... 2 or 3 days, trying to locate the source of something I was smelling. I have a sensitive nose and my lungs were feeling funny. Well, eventually I looked up and realized that there was black mold in the air vents. Upon clo...
Hey everyone,
Sorry for the delay. Moving has been taking longer than I thought, and I've discovered that I can't work if my office and home are all crazy. My mind just can't settle and I can't focus.
Normal work, like spreadsheets etc I can do, but creative work...nuh uh.
In other news, I know I lost a few Patreon patrons, and some folks had to drop lower because of the ongoing craziness in the world.
However, some of you actually /raised/ your pledge...
