Spooky Halloween Poll OoOoOoO~

So, since I already took a break from the Autumn War to work on the Goetic Justice re-edit for the audiobook project, and Halloween is coming up, I wondered if you guys wanted me to crank out a quick holiday-themed story before I resume our regularly scheduled programming? I could easily write a short story ready for the 31st, but it depends on what you guys want.

Since the Drider was a popular pick on one of our previous Halloween polls, I was thinking of doing a short story about a gu...

Autumn War Cover WIP + Update

Here's a WIP for the upcoming Autumn War cover, another piece provided by our partner in crime SickJoe, who you can find over here: https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoe 

I just wanted to thank you guys for being patient with the Goetic Justice editing. I'm almost done, just have about 20,000 words to get out of the way. It ended up being a much more substantial rewrite than I expected, but it's going to be in ...

Goetic Justice Audiobook Announcement

I'm happy to be able to announce the next audiobook project that's in the works! Bordeaux Black, the talented voice actress who brought Pinwheel to life, is returning to work on Goetic Justice. She's going to be bringing her unique blend of narration and voice acting to Nahash and the other demons, and for those of you who are familiar with the story, I think you'll agree that she's a perfect fit. Prepare for the gentle tones of the seductive Seirim and maybe some spooky voice filters for the...

Here's the finished artwork of the Supermajor, which comes courtesy of Sickjoe. He really went all-out on this one, so go show him some love:  https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoe

Filling the niche between Drones and organic vehicles like Warriors and Scuttlers, Supermajors are an intimidating caste that are most often encountered serving as bodyguards for Kerguela's Field Commanders. At nine to ten feet, ...

Supermajor WIP

Here's a sneak preview of the Supermajor from The Autumn War, a new Bug unit that really hammers home how far the Betelgeusians on the moon have come in terms of diversifying and adapting to the native environment.

Threadwalker Concept Art

The myriad realms that spanned the vastness of the Empire were once connected by the Threads. These twisting, branching conduits of cosmic energy weaved their dark web through the aether, their shifting currents and violent winds guiding those who sailed them home to port. For a hundred thousand years they have lain dormant, invisible to those who lack the arcane knowledge required to navigate them, but a new age is dawning. I feel the Threads stir anew, creaking like old bones at the lim...

Ebook and Audiobook updates.

I just got done updating the Pinwheel Ebook, so the new edit with the new cover is now available in the Retail Ebooks section, the Free Ebooks section, and on the website. I also updated the Smashwords listing, so if you own it on that platform, you should get a free update. I tried to do the same with Amazon but they seem to be having technical issues right now, so I'll have to try again later.

I'm also updating Joint Venture with its new cover, so that should be live soon too.

New Pinwheel Cover

Pinwheel Audiobook Preview No1

I now have the complete Pinwheel audiobook on file, and I've listened through the entire thing. It turned out even better than I hoped, and I'm very excited to get it into your hands (and subsequently into your ears). We still have a little editing work left to do, we have to wait for the cover to be completed, and then it has to go through Audible's approval process, but we're on the home stretch.

The narration was performed by the ever-talented Bordeaux Black, who I'm happy to say has...

Joint Venture Cover (v2)

Here's an updated cover for my Mass Effect fanfiction story Joint Venture.

My friend Ghost0fOnyx (https://twitter.com/ghost0fonyx) has modeled what is without a doubt the best Turian model that's ever been made, and I don't feel it's at all hyperbolic to say that, considering the quality of his work.

Conjunction Cover

Here's the finished cover for Conjunction, featuring Caden and Kadal facing down the Borophage in the coral sea! I love the detail that went into this one, check out the petrified corals on the ground, and the crystal spires in the distance. This story will be getting a bit of a re-edit prior to its retail release, along with the next batch of Ebooks.

The Red King

The insectoid residents of Kerguela finally reveal their full strength, and the UNN pays the price for underestimating their capabilities. From the burning wreckage, a new breed of Bug raises a dead Marine aloft, examining this strange new threat as its Drone subordinates hunt down survivors.

Martian Battleship

Here's the finished artwork for the Martian Battleship.
At 1200 feet, the battleship is one of the largest vessels in the UNN fleet, second only to the jump carrier. Its sleek, angular hull is designed to minimize its radar cross-section, and the stealth coating absorbs RF radiation to help it go undetected.
As its name suggests, the battleship is the most heavily-armed and armored ship that the Navy can field. Its defensive armament includes 8 CIWS guns, along with 24 missile bays that...

Support Milestone

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for surpassing the $1000 milestone.

I made a collage of all the covers I've commissioned so far, in no particular order, none of which would have been possible without you guys supporting me. Not only do you help me afford covers and concept art, but you validate what I do through your support and your participation in the community. You remind me that there's an audience out there for what I want to make and that it's something worth inv...

Heart of the Mountain Cover

Here's the finished cover for Heart of the Mountain, which comes courtesy of our old friend Oouna, who has returned to us after an absence. They are alive and well, and putting out world-class content once again. The tiny details on the treasure and the scales are especially impressive in this piece, and I am fond of the dragon's large endowments. I'm talking about her immense, heaving wealth, of course.

Kerguela Campaign Briefing

Status Report - April 14th 2628

I hope this message finds you well, Admiral.

As of 0900 hours local Valbaran time, the last of the CSGs are en route. They're expected to exit superlight and join the formation within the hour. It has taken some months to divert all of the ships that you requested (especially since you reassigned almost the entire carrier fleet), but we're looking at around 612,000 Marines who will be combat-ready when the time comes, along with reserves that are st...

Battleship WIP

Here's a sneak preview of the Martian Battleship concept art, which comes courtesy of our friend SickJoe. There's both a version with the weapons deployed and one with them stowed to minimize its radar cross-section. The mess of machinery at the rear is a heat-sink system designed for physically ejecting waste heat from the ship when it builds up, and you can see the two super-railgun turrets too.
