Timberwolf Scout Vehicle Concept Art

The Timberwolf is the UNN's advanced scout vehicle, ranging far ahead of armored formations to pathfind and identify threats. At a length of seven meters and a weight of twenty-five tons, it is light and maneuverable, with a top speed of 120km/h (75mph) on favorable terrain.

The vehicle has six wheels featuring all-wheel drive, with airless honeycomb tires to eliminate the possibility of flats. These make it suitable for various types of challenging terrain, from muddy swamps and sand t...

Kodiak MBT Concept Art

The Kodiak main battle tank is the tip of the UNN's armored spear, serving as a carrier-deployable heavy weapons platform that can be adapted to a variety of battlefield conditions. At nine meters long and upwards of seventy tons when fully loaded, it's the heaviest ground vehicle currently fielded by the Navy save for the Yagda superheavy repulsor.

Originally designed with a slanted hull to de...

Here's the first 4000 words of the new story, Brokering Trust.

A scientist is granted a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel to the Trappist system, home of the Brokers, where no human has set foot before.

Editing is Done

I've taken a couple of months off producing new content to go back and edit some older stories that were waiting to be published as ebooks, and I'm now finished. I originally wanted to get six done, but it was taking too long, so I'm stopping at four for now. Conjunction, Longhunter, Widow's Welcome, and Heart of the Mountain are all complete. I'll either take another break at a later date to go back and finish Worlds Apart 2 and Silent Vigil View Post

Between Worlds: Halfpoint

A few months back, my buddy Bluefishcake asked me if I'd like to collaborate with him on a visual novel project. It was to be set in his Sexy Space Babes/Between Worlds sci-fi universe and would feature various alien species from his books.

I've been working on the project in secret and have written over 120,000 words of content thus far across four different romance routes, with more to come. The project ...

Package Deal

Our friend Wheresmysocks has commissioned another lovely piece of Pinwheel fanart, and I wanted to show my appreciation by writing a short story to go along with it. This artwork comes courtesy of UnknownAnimal, who has previously worked on some of our covers.

Conjunction Delay

I just wanted to let you guys know that the release of Conjunction on Amazon has been unexpectedly delayed.

Some of you may remember that someone stole a few of my stories and uploaded them to Amazon under a different name last year, one of which was Conjunction. While that situation was resolved (Amazon were actually very helpful) it has caused another issue down the line.

It seems that due to the copyright claim that I made to get the infringing content removed from Amazon, Conj...

New Patreon Tiers + New Artwork

Today I'm launching some brand new Patreon tiers, and I'm also updating the Broker tier with some fresh artwork to go with the upcoming story. The new tiers are themed after the Valbarans, which has been requested for a long time, SWAR operatives, and the Admiralty.

Keep in mind that these higher tiers feature no special rewards at the moment, subscribers will have access to all the same content as Patrons at the Broker tier. It's mostly just my way of saying thank you to the people who...

Next Story Poll

I'm getting bored of editing and you guys are probably eager for some new content, so I think I'm gonna finish up Conjunction, edit Longhunter, then postpone the remaining two for a later date. It's just taking too long.

There are three stories I have planned right now that I'm equally excited about, so let me know which one appeals to you the most, and I'll start work on it p...

Or Die Alone - Nude Cover

Here's the nude alt of the Or Die Alone cover, featuring Lorza in what Oouna has coined a Polar Explosion. Check out the full resolution image to see the incredible detail and volume on the fur. The way that the artist uses light and shadow to accentuate her figure is very impressive, and I love the patterning on her coat.

This is one of Oouna's pieces, and if you find yourself wanting more, you can seek it out over here:

Or Die Alone - Full Resolution Cover

Here's the full resolution cover for Or Die Alone, featuring a very flustered Boyd who is trying not to enjoy his new predicament too conspicuously while he and Lorza huddle for warmth in an ice cave. Make sure you open the image in its full rez to get a look at the wonderful detail on the fur and the survival suit. Oouna really outdid themselves on this one, the lighting especially is very impressive.

I'm trying to do audiobook-ready covers for all of my content now, so we can...

Editing Anchor Post

Just gonna pin this post so you guys can keep up to date on how I'm progressing with the editing backlog.

I'll be releasing the Retail Ebooks one by one as I move through the list. Most of these stories are totally fine and don't need much editing at all.

First up is Widow's Welcome, which is already 50% complete.

Threadwalker Teaser

Just wanted to post a teaser of some of the Threadwalker concept art we've been working on behind the scenes. Here's a sneak preview of one of the setting's characters with her enchanted Raiment on display.

Threadwalkers are the descendants of the noble houses that once ruled over all that is known, but have since been lost to time, falling into myth and legend. Those who wield these ancient relics are able to leverage the powers innate in their Raiments to harness the fund...

Or Die Alone Cover WIP

Our patron of the Polar arts Oouna has returned to us once again with a WIP of the upcoming cover for Or Die Alone, in what they've referred to as a Polar explosion. Progress is coming along really quickly on this one, and I'm loving how it's shaping up. It features Lorza shortly following her squid binge, and the unfortunate Agent Boyd, who is being sheltered from the cold in the warmth of her bosom entirely against his will. We're also getting a nude version of this one, which I'm ...

Happy Holidays!

It's that time of the year again! I wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for all of your amazing support this year, and to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks to your patronage, 2022 was more successful than ever. We got more artwork than any year prior, we produced a second audiobook, and I finished the single largest project I've ever worked on - the Autumn War.

This stuff just isn't possible without your generosity, and I want you to know t...
