Hey folks, I was going to just post the new chapter of Lost in Action, but it's really long and really needs an edit.
I'll be posting it later today after I nap and give it a proper edit. Fair warning, it's really fun, and kind of the heart of this short story. I think a bunch of folks are gonna be stoked, and it will answer some fan theories I've seen before. :)
*please comment, and please read the entire post before commenting*
Hi folks! I have a few things to talk about here, and I would really like to hear your opinions on some things.
First off, I've been waiting to update reward tiers until I had time to make a new video, but I just haven't had time. One of the biggest changes I need to make is make is to make the language clear that all the various rewards are voluntary, as in if you want to design a creature for insta...
Guys, this took a while to get right, but damn. :)
These double covers are a lot of work.
You guys never cease to amaze with your positivity, wisdom, and generosity.
I'm not going to cloud this up with too many words. Just...thank you for being you.

*Going to post this on Facebook, too*
*This is kind of a transparent blog post to type out some of my reflections. This is meant to show you guys what it's like to be a professional author during the times when I'm not announcing a new release or working on something new. This post is a reflection of my thought processes while looking at spreadsheets and monitoring royalties. The business side of writing can be brutal*

I haven't posted much in a while and I want to let you know why.
I'm writing a short story that will go in the upcoming Delvers Anthology, maybe titled Surviving Ludus. The story itself will tie into Delvers 4, and should answer some questions I've seen readers ask before about Mareen's family...
Anyway, instead of posting chapters, I want to post the entire thing at once when it's done, which I figure will be in about a week-ish. After that, I'l...
Pretty self-explanatory. Cole Blooded is live. :)
Thank you for all of your input on the story. As always, if you've read this story, please feel free to take a peek and/or leave a review.

It goes live in just a few days! The link is to the .com, US Amazon store.
If you all read the story on here, I'd super appreciate a review the day it comes out! Thank you!
I'm pretty stoked about all of this. We should have more Delvers LLC 4, First Song 2, and Asgard Awakening 2 chapters coming out soon. I just got back from vacation a couple days ago and I'm finalizing First Song, so I haven't had much time to write.
Hey folks!
I have to give a quick apology first to everyone who is in the Patreon tiers to see art. I really didn't want to cheapen your tiers since you're supposed to see art before everyone else, but I need to get this book on preorder within the next few days.
Since the public will see it soon anyway, I just made sure all the Patrons on here can see it...so...here we are!
The cover for Cole Blooded is done. I need to work furiously within the next 48 hours ...
The Delvers LLC/Ludus/Artivice Universe Anthology!
This project is effectively live as of this moment.
Who?
Submissions will be gathered from participating fans and authors, They will be read and the final composition of the anthology book(s) will be announced ASAP.
All applicants submitting stories for the anthology should be familiar with the Delvers LLC series. Being familiar with the Nora Hazard seri...

Thank you for your support.
Also, I should be posting a Delvers 4 chapter either today or tomorrow.

Hey everyone!
I'm not going to be working today...sorta. I was actually up having a meeting with Outspan a few hours ago about Cole Blooded, and I did a bunch of other work, but I won't be writing.
Instead, I will be cleaning the house for the next 2 days. Yup. Writing basically consumes my life while I'm working on a book, so between books, I need to buck down and deal with my "honey do" list or stuff will get really out of control super fast.
So...sorr...
Hey all!
There is going to be a few days now where I focus on getting Ball of Light and Cole Blooded ready for publishing.
So right now the plan is to talk to Will Arand about VeilVerse stuff, then I'll be uploading chapters of Asgard Awakening (about 30% effort), Delvers LLC 4 (about 20% effort), and First Song 2 (about 50%) effort.
This should create a pretty good mix of chapters for everyone to check out.
As always, thank you so so so much for being here. &nb...
In my opinion, this is looking awesome.

As a recap, I commissioned 2 different covers for Cole Blooded. This is the rough draft choice I got from artist B.
We're going to go with A, I think. What are your opinions?
-BC
Hey all! This is an FYI that another chapter of Cole Blooded will be dropping today, and I'm going to be re-releasing chapters of Ball of Light, too. I'll be posting 3-10 chapters per day of Ball of Light for the next few days.
-BC
I've commissioned 2 versions of the Cole Blooded cover, not least of which because time is short, and if one doesn't hit the right notes, I can switch to the other.
This is the cover I commissioned through an artist on Deviantart.
I'm digging the rough sketch so far.

I had a weird dream last night that could have been a legit book or a movie. You all seem to like when I tell you about my strange, hallucinated stories, so here goes:

Everyone who read the new Cole Blooded chapter yesterday were the first to know that I had an accident and went to the ER. Today I posted about it on FB because I'm in awe at how well the watch I was wearing held up. I ended up getting blood all over my clothes and my car, but the watch was like, "Ha. Wuz up?"
Anyway, the picture and the text below are what I just posted on FB. I wanted to share them here too.

It took a little back and forth,but I think we're getting close to a working rough draft for the new Asgard Awakening cover.
Need to fix a few details.
I've commissioned cover art for the anthology cover. I want the cover before announcing the project.
Since it seems so many people may participate, I think I will probably put out two books, not just one. This means we will need two pieces of art.
All of this has reminded me about a shortfall of Patreon--I can only post one image at a time. As a result, there will probably be two (2) cover threads as these get worked on.
More to come soon!

Hey everyone! I have great news.
I've already talked about this a little before, but Outspan Foster was so fired up about the anthology and the opportunity to write in the Delvers universe that he wrote a short book before we even had a contract signed.
As a result, I'll be editing and adding onto it as I work on First Song, Asgard Awakening, and begin posting Ball of Light chapters again soon!
Ya'all are gonna have a ton of content!
Cole Blooded is a short, ...
The link is to the FB post about the launch on my FB author page.
Thank you to everyone here who read the story and helped me dial it in. I think this is the best book I've written, but I tend to feel that way about every new book I publish. :P
As always, if you could support me by giving the book an honest review on Amazon, I would greatly appreciate it. Comments on the FB link above would be cool too, but nothing is as important as Amazon reviews.
Fun fact f...
So it turns out that I'm probably going to be posting another story in about a week, too.
Outspan Foster was so fired up by my idea about an anthology, he started writing a story that was on his brain, and it's getting to novella length.
I'm probably going to go through it, edit it, add stuff, and release it as a stand alone story. If it does well, it may get a series after Delvers 5 is done, or Outspan could continue it.
This is really exiting.
Anyway, this ...
Hey all, this is a quick update!
I will be linking to Nora 3 on Amazon the day it comes out. As always, I will /greatly/ appreciate any reviews ya'all can throw my way after that happens.
As for new chapters on Patreon, I think I'll be able to start posting Ball of Light, Asgard Awakening 2, and First Song 2 all at once starting in about a week. I'd like to be posting a minimum of 3-5 chapters a week as I start ramping up for the latter half of the year.

Hey everyone!
I'm almost done with Nora, suffered a few setbacks, including deleting half a chapter for a rewrite.
Anyway, I've started the process of getting a new cover for a Delvers LLC Anthology I've been pondering for a while. The way it'll be structured is I will take submissions like 2-3 months after the anthology is launched, and depending on the number of submissions that are accepted, we can have 1-3 books of short stories.
I don't have much to give for ea...
Hey guys,
I finally got a decent new mic so I could record a new intro video for the patreon. After I got it, I realized that some of you might have wanted to donate something like this.
Well...shit.
Anyway, I'm busy finishing Nora 3 right now, it'll be done in a day or two, but after it's done I will be finally getting to some of this stuff that is like a year overdue.
I really love this.
None of the next few Delvers series covers will show Nora, so this is a gift for those who wanted to see her face. :P
Pretty soon I'll be posting art of Nora Hazard, with her face visible. This will be canon art for the character!
Yay!
