My distributor recently expanded their operations to Spotify, which now carries audiobooks. It’s a huge platform and I know a lot of you guys probably use it for music already, so I’m pretty excited about the prospect of reaching new audiences. If you’d like to pick up one of my audiobooks over there, the links are now available over on their respective pages:
Everyone's favorite grumpy lizard now has some wonderful fanart, courtesy of a reader who has asked to remain anonymous. I love the variety of poses on this one, and the attention to anatomy and detail is great. I think they really captured her personality. Thank you for your hard work, Anon!
2022-12-18 21:47:04 +0000 UTC View PostI started work on the Jarilan Wiki article while I was sick, which now has about 4000 words of original content. This is very much a work in progress that will be updated as more information is collated, as they’re definitely my most complicated species, but there’s already a lot of info about different castes and their biology. I look forward to adding to it incrementally and revealing more information about their biology and their way of life.

Here is the MEGA archive that contains all of the Retail editions of the Ebooks and all of the Audiobooks in one convenient location. It will be tagged so that any new Patreon subscribers can easily find a backlog of their unlocked content, as sifting through so many posts is becoming a problem. It's just an archive, and doesn't contain anything that isn't already present on the Patreon page.
An encryption key is required to access the folder, which will be changed periodically.

The free Ebooks for Heart of the Labyrinth are now available, you can download it in both EPUB and MOBI format, or read the story on my website over here: https://snekguy.com/stories/other/labyrinth/
Here's the completed cover for Heart of the Labyrinth. While there was no way the story was going to be finished on time for the holiday, Joe is much better at managing his time than I am. It features the hero Leandros confronting the terrifying̶l̶y̶ ̶r̶i̶p̶p̶e̶d̶ minotaur in the depths of the labyrinth! Make sure you zoom in on this one to check it out in its full resolution, because it has some insane detail.

Taking a break from whatever I'm working on to write a quick spooky story for the holiday has become something of a tradition, so just like previous years, I'm gonna do a poll where you guys get to vote on what kind of monster or supernatural beastie you'd like to see.

Our pal Meklab is back with another 3D animation, this time featuring a combat drone from Killing Floor with some software issues that are making her take her job of protecting her human charge a little too seriously. He asked if I'd like to write an accompanying short story, and as usual, I jumped at the chance.

We needed a UNN emblem for an upcoming art project, so I finally stopped procrastinating and designed one with the input of the community. At the center is the cross within a circle, the astronomical symbol for Earth, which is surrounded by a nautical star split into segments. Behind that we have an anchor to symbolize the naval heritage of the organization, along with a sword to signify its military nature. It's wrapped in a laurel wreath, and there are three stars at the top. The stars have...

2022-08-10 22:06:28 +0000 UTC View PostAs you guys know, writing a 2000 word update every day is kind of my gimmick, and I've stuck to it religiously for these past 6 or 7 years, only taking time off and missing days very occasionally.
As the community grows, and my responsibilities grow along with it, I am finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with that schedule. You may have noticed this taking the form of more missed days and more 1500 word updates recently. Managing the Discord community, the Reddit community, res...

I’m feeling refreshed after my vacation, and I’m returning to work in the smut mines.
Up next is a total rewrite of Or Die Alone. It’s one of my oldest stories, and it’s in need of a lot of work, so I’ll be completely overhauling it to bring it up to my current standards. It’s up next for a cover and a retail version, and it needs to be ready for the artist in September. I got a lot of new stuff in the works, too, and I’ll be talking about my plans for those stori...
2022-08-02 01:15:38 +0000 UTC View Post45 plushies have been sold so far, which means there are only 5 left, and we're coming up on the end of the window for purchasing one. If you'd still like one and you have yet to place an order, send me a PM soon.
I know that some people would like to buy multiple plushies, and we have some non-Patrons waiting in the wings, so I'll be allowing those people to make purchases if the last few aren't sold over the next few days.
Now that The Autumn War is finished and everything has been released, I'm going to take a little time off. I don't usually do this, but the project ran for over a year and I'm in need of a little R&R. I'll take maybe a week, then I'll start on the next project.
As a side note, sales of the ebooks have been going extremely well. We actually cracked the top 200 in a couple of the Amazon categories, which is great. Reviews are crucial at this stage for maintaining momentum and pleasing...

Set in the Pinwheel universe, where an alliance of friendly species fights a never-ending war against the merciless insect hordes, the mission to retake a lost colony is underway.
The largest Coalition fleet ever assembled descends on the moon of Kerguela, where a peaceful civilization met its end at the hands of a marauding hive fleet three decades prior. Leading the campaign is Xipa, one of the few survivors of the original invasion, bent on righting the wrongs of her past and avengi...
I've deleted the old merged version of the Autumn War and have replaced it with the new four volume version. Since these are the final versions of the story, I've temporarily made them private so that they're not accessible to the public, just so I don't undermine my own launch by giving people access before I'm ready this weekend.
Patrons at every tier can access those pages immediately using the password: Patreon69
As I mentioned, this is temporary and the pages will be...

Here's the final cover for the Autumn War. We did an extra one because I wanted something featuring more of the characters from the story. It's also an excuse to let Joe go HAM on some more biomech Bug hardware.
I'm aiming for a release this weekend, but that's a tentative ETA.

It's time to start taking pre-orders for the Valbaran plush! The reason I'm doing pre-orders is both so that people can reserve a plush, and so that I can raise some money for shipping in advance.
Patrons get first dibs, and it's a first-come, first-served system, though I don't anticipate that we'll run out. Currently, it's going to be limited to one plush per person, but if we don't sell all of them within the time window, people may be able to buy more. I may open up an email form fo...

Proofreading on The Autumn War has wrapped up, which means the longest and most difficult phase of the editing is finally complete. Now, all that's left to do is run each chapter through Grammarly to check for errors, and then write the extra sex scene I've been planning for Volume 2.
We're on the home stretch!
