Quaranteam - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

It was with a little surprise that Andy stepped out of his front door to see a familiar electric blue Tesla parked in front of it, Phil helping Maya remove her things from his trunk. “Hello Maya,” Andy said, walking down the steps towards her, seeing Emily and Sarah were already there, Emily talking with Maya while Sarah was crouched down next to the little carrier, giving the dogs inside scratches while cooing at them affectionately. Linda, Phil's bodygu...

Morgana's Gift - Part 8

Chapter 4 – Thursday's Child

Ashley did indeed wake him the next morning with a blowjob, but it turned out she wasn't alone in that aspect, as Elizabeth had decided to help her on that particular morning, with the blonde's lips wrapped around the head of his cock while the brunette tended to his balls, two tongues working his flesh with deliberate intent, neither wanting to rouse him from his slumber too quickly, but neither having enough patience to approach their ta...

Weekly Update - 2/23/22 - "Not Dead Yet"

Apologies for being a little late on the recent Brewster's Brood post, but as it turned out, my own personal Xander showed up unexpectedly on my doorstep yesterday around lunchtime, and it was the first time my best friend and I had seen each other in person in over two years, and then we went out to get dinner and the Bay Area was hit by a snap cold spell and his car wouldn't start, so we were freezing and laughing and it was crazy, but it was a good time and nice recharge of my mental batte...

Brewster's Brood - Part Ten

(I will be updating this post a bit later with the requested epub 1-10 version, so if you're looking for that, keep an eye out on this post over the next few days. Still figuring how to get chapters to show up. Until then, the PDF attached to this is parts 1-10 & the Cast list.)

The Janus Coins: John's Story - Chapter 2

Act 1, Chapter 2

You'd think that getting a magic coin able to change the minds of women would be the most memorable thing that happened to me in 1998, but you'd be wrong, because a few days after I got that coin, the Midwest was slaughtered by one of the biggest blizzards to hit the region in fifty years, and Iowa City got absolutely demolished by it. Nothing was really damaged but basically everyone was trapped in place for about a week, as everyone struggl...

Weekly Status Update - 2/16/22 - This Will Destroy You

Sorry I was a little bit late with Quaranteam 38, but I'd gotten about 5k words done yesterday and knew there was something still missing, so I decided to sleep on it and attack it fresh this morning. It's live now, as is the poll for T3-5 to vote on which cast member gets a guaranteed sex scene and a one-page profile for March. That poll will run for a week.

I've seen a handful of people asking for epub format collections, and people in general just asking me to compil...

Quaranteam Bonus! - Poll 1

For those of you in Tiers 3-5, here's your chance to vote for which character will be guaranteed a sex scene in at least one of the two Quaranteam chapters for March, as well as get a 1-page profile detailing that character's back story in greater detail. Whoever wins this month is ineligible for the next month, but vote for whoever you'd like to see more of!  One week to vote, one vote per person.

Quaranteam - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

In a rather unusual turn of events, Andy woke the next morning on November 18th to an empty bed. It wasn't uncommon for him to awake with only a couple of the girls still in bed asleep with him, but a totally empty bed was almost an unheard-of experience at this point. He glanced at his Apple Watch and saw that it was around 10:30, which meant he'd definitely slept in a bit. Like most writers, Andy was generally a nocturnal creature, staying up late and get...

Brewster's Bonus! - Poll 1

Those of you in tiers 3-5, here's your chance to vote on who is guaranteed to be in a sex scene in at least one of the two Brewster's Brood chapters next month, and a one-page profile of that character! Anyone who wins this poll will be ineligible for the next month's poll. (Free hint: You probably don't have to vote for Kelly.  Heh.) Thanks for being a huge supporter of my work!

Max Brewster – 3/7/2017 – Tuesday – 7:41 pm

When they started to walk down the stairs, Max was suddenly very aware that the club was a lot more packed than it had been when t...

Weekly Update - 2/9 - The Radio Man Laughs

Ya finally did it. When I started this Patreon back in September, I bought a second whiteboard. I've had one whiteboard since I became a freelancer almost a decade ago, tracking what I was working on, what was coming up and what my deliverable dates were. At the start of the Patreon, I realized I was going to need a second whiteboard, to keep track of what I was working on for this, and I had it split down the middle, with the top half being for dates for public releases and the bottom half f...

The Threadbinders - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Frontier academies were mostly feeder schools. They weren't temporary enclaves, but they weren't built to look impressive. Arkady was convinced that the structures weren't designed to last as long as anything his people would've built. The workmanship was definitely that of human hands. No dwarf would've thrown something up with so little attention paid to the foundations, and there wasn't anywhere near enough ornamentation for elvish construction. It also j...

Quaranteam - Chapter 37

Chapter 37

The conversation had gone far into the evening, with members of the household coming in and out several times, joining for a while before leaving the trio to their own devices once more, mostly anyway, a couple of Andy's partners choosing to remain longer. Sarah and Aisling in particular were intent on getting as many stories about Andy's youth as they could, and he felt a little like they hoped either Xander or Fiona would tell them embarrassing tales from...

Weekly Update - 2/2/22 - Live On The Outside

One Tuesday down, three more to go. Who came up with this crazy plan? Oh. Right. I guess I can chew that guy out later. So I posted Quaranteam: Phil's Tale - Chapter 4 yesterday, much earlier than I think anyone expected me to, but I wanted to follow up on the energy I'd had riding off 3 and getting into the whole McCallister of it was something I've been wanting to do for a while now. People have asked me if I think the QT universe has villains, and I've always said I try to...

Quaranteam: Phil's Tale - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The next day, Phil woke up with two beautiful women next to him, the three of them still on the floor of the lab. He wasn't dead. He wasn't even sick. He'd half expected Linda to be awake before he was, but both her and Audrey were still completely unconscious, although he supposed that was what he should have expected. The standard time for this particular mix of the serum was clocking in at around sixteen hours of slumber before they awoke, and the fact that Dr. Var...

Brewster's Brood - Part Eight

Max Brewster – 3/7/2017 – Tuesday – 7:04 pm

It was just a few minutes after seven when Max woke up from his nap, Jenny still curled up alongside of him, her arm draped over his side, both of his hands snuggled beneath the pillow under his head. Despite the fact that he'd slept, he didn't feel all that rested.

The number of people he'd encountered in the last day was almost unbelievable. Sure, he had loads of people coming to the truck when he was working, but the point of ...

Brewster's Brood - Cast of Characters - Version 1

MRS. CHURCHILL'S NOTES (Cast of Characters):

The Mark (& Company)

• Max Brewster – The Mark – 42, Caucasian, doughy, with mostly black (although with some gray) hair pulled back into a ponytail, sleeved with tats, tanned skin, brown eyes (near sighted), owner of the Constant Rotation food truck, and long-lost grandson and only living relative of the late billionaire Max Brand. Seems like a nice enough guy,...

Weekly Update - 1/26/22 - "Happy In His World"

Hopefully everyone enjoyed our little celebration posts earlier this week, including v2 of the Quaranteam Visual Guide and the unscheduled Quaranteam 35, as my way of saying thank you for reaching 200 patrons. I'm already starting to think about what I'll have to do for 300, but believe you me, that'll be bigger than this, assuming we get there. I'd like to get there! I believe in you. I believe for you. 

Work started in late last week on convertin...

Quaranteam - Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Half an hour later, his phone rang and Andy glanced down to see it was Phil calling, a picture of him with the words “Phil The Elder” superimposed over part of it. The poker group actually had two Phils in it – Phil Marcos and Phil Pak. The two men were dramatically different from one another, but also remarkably similar in others. They shared the same first name, so the group had given them nicknames when they were talking about them if it could've been either of them....

200 Patrons!

Well, I had expected I was going to need this in the first few days of the week, but it turned out we got there a little ahead of when I thought we would! As we did with 100 Patrons, I'm releasing a visual guide for Quaranteam, this one covering basically every major and mid-level character in the story so far, including a couple that haven't even appeared yet, who are just in my notes for upcoming stories! This is, it should be noted, only half of the surprise I had planned for the 200 mark....

Morgana's Gift - Part Seven

Intermission Three – Mystify

When Kevin had asked Elizabeth if she knew anything about Merlin, he'd found her amazingly reluctant to believe in the existence of the wizard, despite her having spent time with a witch named Morgana Le Fey. Over the course of breakfast – a lovely eggs Benedict – he'd eventually gotten her to come around and accept that if Morgana was real, it made sense that Merlin was real as well.

Geoffrey's Gambit was, in fact, a legitimat...

Weekly Update - 1/19/22 - "Jerry Is A Little Bit Late Tonight"

Glad to see everyone's enjoying the latest chapter of Phil's Tale that dropped yesterday. I knew when I started in on that commission that I was going to get a chance to flex a bunch of other writing genres that I'd not even touched for stuff that I'd written here previously, and the introduction of the Russians attempting to abduct Phil was something I'd had planned for a while. I saw a number of people saying they love the story and wish they could get it more often. If tha...

Quaranteam: Phil's Tale - Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Quarantine had been rough on everyone, and the first few weeks, it felt like living in a graveyard. People were instructed to stay at home, if at all possible, not to go anywhere, not even to work, and the panic was starting to set in whenever he turned on the television. By April 1st, everyone wanted it to just be a bad dream they could all wake up from and get away from, but no such relief was coming.

Phil found himself waking up in the middle of the...

If I'm Honest - Chapter 8

Chapter Eight – Darling Nikki

Now you might think that since I have been known to hobnob with techbros from time to time that I've spent my fair share of time in mansions, but that couldn't be further from the truth. See, people like me, we aren't the kind of people who techbros invite into their homes. Sure, they'll happily schmooze us at restaurants and bars, but they never invite us into their homes. They want us to keep us at arm's length, because we're useful, ...

Brewster's Brood Cast Poll

So as per the weekly status update, there are two options for how I present the Cast of Characters for Brewster's Brood.

The first option is I give you, essentially, Mrs. Churchill's annotated version. That will include things like "the socialite," "the banker," etc. This is the version I'm using internally to keep everyone straight myself, but obviously that means there's a bit of opinion/shading in it. Mrs. Churchill (and to some extent, Jacinda) has some thoughts about who plans on t...

Weekly Update - 1/12/22 - This Serious Moonlight

It's Wednesday. Let's dance. *Cue David Bowie* So hopefully everyone enjoyed the latest Brewster's Brood chapter yesterday, and with it comes a little bit of news, and a poll that will go up just after this news post does. I saw that StargatePioneer had been working on a Cast of Characters for BB, which they had been passing around on the Discord, and I'm very grateful for that. So, I have been working on one myself, based on my own notes, but I need...

Mrs. Churchill – 3/7/2017 – Tuesday – 3:29 pm

“So what do you think of Adette Schwartz, Jacinda?” Mrs. Churchill asked her right hand woman. They'd been forced to call back all their screening team just a week or so after they'd dismissed them all, and luckily everyone had been able to carve an afternoon free to run the late addition through their standard battery of tests, to make sure that Dieter wasn't trying to push a dangerous candidate into the pool. It ...
