2026-02-14 18:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time, everyone! After a long wait, we have another book of TWC narrated by Travis Baldree.

Probably audio release next weekend. Actually a little before, to properly work in the Audible schedule, but the weekend will be when I put in all my promotional efforts. Follow me there if you want it ASAP, or just wait for the announcement here....
2026-01-31 18:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, at some point here we will have an audiobook release and I'll be exhausted, which will mean one skipped week. I can't promise the exact date, however, I can only say I'm doing my best to keep all the balls in the air.
Publishing is a f...
2026-01-24 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI have a surprise announcement for everyone: Travis Baldree is narrating Bloodcrete! From there it has to go through a few steps of proofing before release, but we're finally looking at an imminent audiobook launch instead of an unknown. More on t...
2026-01-17 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostComments last week made me think that perhaps it would be helpful to link Fithan Geography 101 again. If you want to brush up on the various nations/factions or just g...
2026-01-10 18:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to 2026! You know what's not particularly great? Patreon has been consistently failing to send notifications when I receive comments for a few weeks now. I rely on those to catch comments, particularly ones on older posts. So if it seems l...

Most of this post will be my analysis of the year as well as extensive thoughts on the publishing industry, but first we have a lovely little uncomplicated section. The above is another imaginary scenario fanart commissioned by Argo the Ratfolk, w...

Chapter 14
It took another week for the leaders of Norron to make arrangements, and since Theo had all his brute soulcrafting done, he was actually kind o...
2025-12-20 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe end of the year is barreling down on us, isn't it? The plan is to keep up the normal pace of chapters, but the last weekend December I'll do my 2025 in Review post instead. This one will be a little longer than most, detailing what I've done o...
2025-12-13 18:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostWith this set of chapters, we reach another inflection point in an arc that has been running throughout the series. Typically a main character should recover from setbacks within a chapter or two, if the author makes the foolish mistake of includi...
2025-12-06 18:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostChapter 8
The war across the continent hadn't yet turned apocalyptic, which meant that there was time for soulcrafting. If Theo was honest with himself, that was what mattered most to him.
Not that he'd resented checki...
2025-11-29 18:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostMostly Ichil stuff this week as the book keeps gearing up. As I mentioned before this book started, this one tries to really show that the story spans the Nine Worlds, even if the main conflict is focused on just one.

I dislike release/promotional times, so having two in a row is unfortunate, especially when it feels like I'm trying to break down a brick wall with my forehead. That's just how the schedule fell out when also working with a publisher.
How d...
2025-11-08 18:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostI remain in a weird holding pattern because Amazon and Audible are making this release very stressful. I still don't have a convenient international link, but after the 2025-11-01 17:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post
Finally time to announce this. Not when I might have chosen on my own, since there's a lot going on, but this was the best time for Audible, so it's time for the big news I've been hinting!
Just over two years ago, I started a serialization ...

Well, we're running out of time, so some posts are getting crammed together. Above you see Fiyu's updated blueprints, bringing the cast up to date for Crimsoncrest. Representing her Conduit was tricky, but I think Lamsey did a good job!

Here's the second tutorial brushing up on details that you may want to clarify before the next book! Though the big organizations of the Nine Worlds have been mentioned for a while, and hinted before they were named, I understand how such scattere...
2025-09-27 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe eleventh book in the series will continue the war with Tymetron, and I'm aiming to do something a little different with it: I want to do a logistics book. So many times the negotiations and organization are pushed to the background so that the...

Here's our second set of blueprints from Crimsoncrest! Nauda's progress this book wasn't flashy, but she's building back up to the point where her new blueprint starts to show its full worth.
Long post about the upcoming book next week! Than...

We have the first of our special posts this week! I realize that it's been so long since we had any of these tutorials that some people may not remember them, so a little intro may be in order.
At various points I've put out soulcrafting tut...

For those who don't know, in between books I show everyone blueprints for the main characters' soulhomes, produced by the wonderful reader Lamsey. This week we have Theo's soulhome as of the end of the book, featuring both his new basement lab and...

With Crimsoncrest done, we are now looking toward two major dates:
1) The release of this book on Amazon.
2) Beginning chapters of the next book here.
#2 is largely under my control and just requires me to finish writing t...
2025-08-16 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostI saw so many guesses about what the epilogue would be, all wrong. XD Well, I hope that you like the direction this actually went, because it's a bit of a callback.
