I did edit 450 (+200 words) but no big changes. 451 fighting will get a lot of edits to make the battle more plausible. So make comments there. Currently 500 words into writing 452 for Seraphim.
I am happy the fan ficiton contest went well this time. Taking ideas for the next fan fiction for book 6. Here are some POVs I am thinking of to...
Going to do an edit on 450 in a few hours and write 452 tonight for Seraphim

2025-09-07 19:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe brood mother stood over eight feet tall, a head taller than any other Nashasari. The leader only wore a thick belt over her dark green, scaled hide. Her reptilian features showed no signs of femininity; then again, all the Nashasari appeared androgynous. The brood mother’s golden eyes narrowed as sh...
2025-09-07 16:48:24 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t think I was influenced to get into the vehicle, but I could be wrong. I didn’t feel threatened by the man, and hearing him out wouldn’t hurt. He sat with both hands on a cane and a contented smile as we took our seats in the spacious vehicle, which had long bench seats facing each other. Adrial and Kiara took ...
2025-09-07 00:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostNew Chapter in progress as well. 500 words into chapter 226
As the skyship lifted off, I moved to stand next to Gareth. He spoke first, “Thanks for sending everyone to my apartment, Stormy. I asked the dishwashers to clean it this morning after the party. Don’t worry, and I tipped them for the...
2025-09-05 23:51:03 +0000 UTC View Post“We need to find out what they both want,” Fenlorian said to those gathered around him.
“It has to be the Relic Vault or the Black Archives,” Torandir speculated. It was good to see the fire mage alive, looking a little worse for wear with most of his hair burned away a...
2025-09-05 01:37:44 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a smell of smoke on the stairs as I descended quickly. Most of the landings had crates and barrels of supplies for the retreating defense. I stopped on one landing to check on two Sentinels, but they were only sleeping and not wounded. Most of the windows were boarded up, but some air vents were still open, and I c...
2025-09-03 19:00:34 +0000 UTC View PostTwo young elven Sentinels were in our blind and nodded to us as they packed up their crossbows and left. Our supplies had been completely restocked, and my composite short bow and two regular long bows had been added under the cover. I picked up my bow, recalling the irony that I had picked this one up in Macha during that h...
2025-09-01 04:29:04 +0000 UTC View PostThree chapters this week. With book 5 being released in about 6 weeks I want to make sure all the chapters appear here as well on release. Final chapter is 319 in book 5 (but still considering edits on 311 to 315)

“How? This is Sanctuary!” a Sentinel listening in exclaimed.
“The dead would be inside the wards; they do not need to pass through the wards. The High Sentinel was pressed too hard and forced to retreat too quickly. This was likely the plan all along, and we failed to see it,” Lepidus said flatly.
“The ...
2025-08-31 04:19:40 +0000 UTC View PostGareth wore his new white boots and was practically prancing around as we gathered to walk through the portal to the second level. With Gareth’s feet being so large, and the boots sizing to him since he opened the chest, it was going to be practically impossible to sell the boots.
I had receiv...
2025-08-30 18:07:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis was Freya’s third trip on a skyship, but like Gareth and I, she still hadn’t lost her excitement. She stood at the railing, watching the land fall away beneath them as the ship headed toward Aegis City. Gareth was deep in conversation with Callem, so I stayed beside Freya.
“How are you doin...
2025-08-30 03:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostGareth waited outside as the naval steward led me to an office inside the richly furnished house. Sebastian was at his desk, but my attention was drawn to the walls that were covered in the schematics of the Harbinger-class warship and the Wasp-class scout. Notes were everywhere about wood types and sourcing...
2025-08-30 01:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe meals they served us were plentiful but tasteless. I struggled to eat as I adjusted to my new reality. I listened carefully to others speaking and recognized a familiarity in their words, but I couldn't quite place it. Some words almost made sense, but the varying heavy accents and quick speech made it hard...
2025-08-29 19:51:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe stone beneath our feet continued to rumble intermittently as two of the gargoyles turned toward us. “Don’t waste your arrows,” I told Blaze. “Focus on the last of the ghoul bats.” Gargoyles were nearly immune to attacks from non-runic weapons. Although we had runic arrows in our supplies, Blaze's...

this would be him in the black spider silk shirt. he wouldnt be wearing armor on the ship. this feels wrong without Maveith. although i added Maveith in more on the edit, he didnt factor in the last third of the book enough. but this is Maveith's mission. maybe just Maveith staring off into the sunset?

some of you didnt like the cover of book 5. the illustrator is trying to move some things around. is the one with Maveith in front better?
2025-08-27 22:26:36 +0000 UTC View PostWe descended into the common room. A dozen Sentinels and teenagers were moving about the room in somewhat organized chaos. I recognized a few of the elves and dwarves, but couldn’t put a name to them. On the tables were strung crossbows with bolts stacked nearby. Sentinels were cocking them with a separate lever, but leavi...
2025-08-27 19:57:34 +0000 UTC View PostI'm sorry - I only meant to post for Seraphim because there are spoilers.
I got the first twenty chapters back from the editor yesterday and just finished reviewing the suggestions. Going to edit chapter 444 now and then write chapter 445 for Seraphim this evening.
First 20 chapters of Book 5 are in the hands of the narrator! I am s...
The first item on my list was on the eleventh floor in store room E2. The hallways were well marked with signs, and I might have explored several of the storerooms in Sanctuary, but I hadn’t visited this one. The door had a heavy bar across it, and the steel hinges were heavily greased to protect from the salt air. The bar...
2025-08-25 21:56:13 +0000 UTC View PostBook 5 was sent to the editor, and the narrator will be starting on the audiobook later this week!

2025-08-25 15:35:45 +0000 UTC View PostAlmost done with Saturdays Seraphim chapter. Should be 2-3 hours if I dont get interrupted. Will start on Sundays right after. (Yes, I know it is Monday morning)
The narrator starts on book 5 this week! Probably 6 weeks away from release (early October). That means I am giving the Serphim subs a crack at the review copies. There are 50 US ...
2025-08-25 14:46:15 +0000 UTC View PostIn the morning, Remy and I went to an honest information broker he had heard about while selling our goods. I was sure the broker’s information would still be jaded, but if they didn’t provide good information, they would just hurt their reputation. The broker had an office at street level, and a sho...
2025-08-24 22:10:12 +0000 UTC View PostSomeone is doing a favorite author vote (you can vote for as many as you want). I am getting hammered (not in a good way); only 5 of 1602 people voted for me. Not sure if anyone does Facebook anymore, but maybe a few of you are part of the group and can get me at least to 1%.
400 words into chapter 225....but here is the one edit chapter I wanted to get done this week
Gareth fidgeted uncomfortably as he explained, “When you sent me here last time, I used a different name because you told me to be careful. I thought Gaston sounded masculine,” he offered a weak smile. The wai...
2025-08-23 23:33:23 +0000 UTC View PostThey opened tickets for next year's LITRPG Con. I am not associated with this, but I will attend again next year if my health is good.
There are dozens of authors from around the world and a few narrators, too. Just thought I would let you know about it. The hotel where it is held is very expensive, but other hotels a few blocks away are ...
It was a long sail back to Sanctuary, and some of the remaining strongest Sentinels were on the deck of the small fishing cutter. The ship cut through waves against the wind, with water being manipulated by multiple mages on deck. The mood was somber and dark. While the Sentinels were all warriors and tr...
2025-08-22 23:57:22 +0000 UTC View Post“Why didn’t you use your void magic on the emperor?” Lepidus asked, as he stood before me, cradling his broken arm.
Baelira was weak but was on her knees. “He doesn’t have void magic.” She coughed up some more congealed blood as she got to her feet.
“I confirmed it, he has the void affinity,” Lepi...
