Spiny Cat art - final!

Aodh killed a ton of these things lol

Nora Blurb - draft 1

What do you guys think about this?  If you hadn't read the books yet, would this pique your interest?

-------------

*Nora Hazard's story began over three years prior to the events of Delvers LLC: Welcome to Ludus.*

Despite what others may think, Nora knows she is no hero. In fact, she is not even able to stay in Soron where she has become something of a celebrity. Instead, she must travel south, continuing to follow the orders of her completely u...

Announcement: new art series

I think we're going to do a series of monsters and landmarks! :)

So what locations or monsters would you all like to see?

*Note, this will be for the art-level tier on here, but I'm making this post open to everyone since eventually, one day the art might be shared other places.

Quick Nora update

Nora 2 is written.

All the new chapters up to Chapter 31, the last, should be up by tomorrow.

Whew.

quick heads up

I'm almost done with Nora 2.  It'll probably end at Chapter 30.

Once I'm finished,  I will begin editing and post the chapters on here all at once.

Question and answer

Hi all!

It's been a few days since I've posted a new chapter and I'm behind.  The Nora chapter I'm working on is one of the most important in the entire book and it's been taking me a while.

Because of that, I thought I'd offer everyone the opportunity to ask me a question. :)  I appreciate you guys like crazy, and I'm kind of ashamed I haven't done this before.

So if you have a non-spoilers (for obvious reasons) and non controversial (don't ask me shit about abort...

Project AA, second cover, draft 6

I fired the artist today

We're going to give it to the artist who has been working on First Song

Project AA, second cover, draft 5

This iteration has a lot of problems.  I sent the artist a long email.

What do you guys think?

New interview with yours truly

I wore chainmail.

I'm a huge dork

Quick update

Hey all

Sorry I haven't posted any new chapters recently.  I got stitches in my hand the other day and productivity has kind of slammed to a halt.  Typing is tough and that's kind of how I work these days.

I should be up and going again in about a day...I think.

Trust me, nobody is more irritated/frustrated than me. :(

Project AA, second cover, draft 4

There are definitely things I like and things I don't like about this.  Hopefully we can get them fixed.

First Song cover update

The artist was taking forever and acting like they weren't going to finish the cover, so I fired them and found a new artist.

More to come later.

This is unbelievably cool.

Community update video w/ thank you

Hey all!

I really apologize, but the only way I can put videos directly on Patreon is to force you all to download it, and that doesn't seem good.

Instead, I am going to post these videos to my private reader group on Facebook because I really don't want to make all my business public.

Apologies to all of you who are not on facebook.  If you join Facebook and join my group, just type "PatreonPalz" somewhere in your questionaire.  Again, the name of the group is &nb...

Delvers 5 cover, redo. Part 3

I'm really happy with this one so far

Writer knife progress pics, 6/20, #3

The blade of my writer knife is about to be engraved.

The smith's friend wrote a poem, and he asked for my permission to put part of it on the blade in runes.

------------

Where once a bear had made his home,
a man now lives there, all alone.
Mead he drinks and honey eats,
and runs faster than any beast.
But now and then, some men have said,
the bear returns to his old bed.
And sleeping there beside the fire,
his hunger grows, his growling dire.
And f...

Quick news and surprises

Hey guys!  This is a heads up that I will be focusing on Nora this week and hopefully finishing Nora 2 this weekend or early next week.

*Deep breath*

HOLY CRAP!

Some of you are so mfing generous it hurts my heart.  My dogs just got super excited chasing me around the house while I yelled in disbelief.

Several people send me stuff from the wish list I posted.  I'm still a little in shock and denial.

I'm a little shaky right now so I...

BC's Wish List

Alright, everyone seem to be on the same page, so I've made a few changes to the list itself and I'm posting it now.

This link to the new wish list is below.

Most of the stuff on there is still at least somewhat related to writing.  For instance, the part for my kick scooter is a spare, and the electric scooter is so I would be able to hit coffee shops that are further away and get more creativity.  I can't go that far on my kick scooter right now because it's too hot and...

Looking for honest opinions about a wish list

Hey all!  I'm asking for your input today.

I've posted an Amazon wish list in the past, and readers, including some folks in this group, have been amazingly generous.  I was a bit moved and felt really embarrassed a few times.  Perhaps this is my form of impostor syndrome.  I'm usually pretty self confident, even as an artist, but when people start trying to tip me or give me compliments, I get all flustered.

I've been told recently that I need to update my Amaz...

A closer view of the horn grip

This thing looks exactly how I had imagined it.  It's waiting on engraving and I believe the smith will be adding silver to the blade, too.

Wow.

Delvers 5 cover, redo. Part 2

This is the first sketch of the redo

Delvers 5 cover, redo. Part 1

I've decided to get this cover redone for when I finish the story.  As a reminder, this is the old cover.

Project AA, second cover, draft 3

Trav looks right now!  Yay!

Oh my!

*Update:  we are no longer doing a raffle on Patreon (it's against the rules).  Instead, I am just going to plug everyone's name into a randomizer and find folks to gifts things to.

Sorry for the confusion, folks!

First off, holy crap my tablecloth is dirty.  Fixing that after I type this.

Second, I'm going to give away the special version of Welcome to Ludus, a unique, signed version!

Question about the book raffle

Hey all,

I want to run the book raffle over the weekend.  I am going to ask everyone to post tomorrow if they want to be in on the raffle.

My question is whether you all think that entries should be weighted higher for higher level patrons.

For instance, a $2 or $3 patron would have 1 entry, $5 would be 2 entries, $10 3 entries, and so on and so forth.

I'm guessing that I'm overcomplicating all of this and you guys don't care, so I am just gonna ask.

This ...

Epic BC knife...starting to take form!

This thing is going to be so rad.  I can't wait to wear it while signing books
