Updates, Future Roadmap, and Holiday Breaks!
Added 2025-10-25 00:35:00 +0000 UTCHello everyone! Thank you all for taking the time to read and support me, as always. I wanted to lay out a few minor changes as they pertain to work.
First, I wanted to let everyone know The Restored is out now! You can purchase it here. It is far and away the worst selling book that I have ever published, by over an order of magnitude, so any ratings / reviews would be highly appreciated!
Next, my break schedule:
No Primal Soul, Tamer's Heart on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of December.
No Chapters at all from the 29th of December to the 3rd of January.
Otherwise, chapters should remain as per normal, unless anything else changes.
Finally, a future roadmap. I plan to continue pushing out Primal Soul, Tamer's Heart and Mana Mirror. PSTH will head to Tapas soon, and I'll make a big announcement post about it. If I can get to 250 followers on Tapas, it will be a big help to keeping the lights on - I can't really afford another severe flop like The Effaced / The Restored.
Assuming all goes well, I do have a couple of future projects that I'm starting the process for now. Obviously, the Druid series is something I've promised for a while, and it's something I do plan to start working on after Mana Mirror wraps up. I'm still in the research phase right now, so I can't offer too many details.
After the Primal Soul Tamer's Heart Trilogy is wrapped up, I have a book coming out that's somewhat similar to Mana Mirror mixed with Edge of the Woods by Andrew Rowe. I'm super excited for it, as it's a revamp of one of my oldest major bits of actual creative planning and world-building. Depending on how things turn out, it may come out before, at the same time as, or after the Druid series.
I also have two secret projects that I've got simmering in the background. One might turn out to be nothing at all, so we'll hold off on that, but the other is one that I've been adding to as I can in my abundant (hah!) free time.
As you can see, a lot of things are up in the air, and I'm hopeful that they work out well. If not, then I will adapt!

The Effaced is the first book, yes. It's set in the same world as The Journals of Evan Tailor, but on a different section of the continent. And no pressure! I appreciate the support though!

2025-10-27 16:43:16 +0000 UTCI started reading the restored and quickly realized I was missing one or more previous books, but also that it's complex and I'm not gonna keep track of all those characters as well as everyone in mana mirror and path. Is the effaced the first book? I could buy them both to read later when brain space frees up...

2025-10-27 07:43:30 +0000 UTCI appreciate that! It's hard to tell, so much depends on the algorithm. Tapas.io is the place, yeah. It deals with webnovels and webcomics, so it's a different platform from RoyalRoad or Amazon. It tends to do well with queer stories, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've not posted to it yet, but I'll post some links when I do! On Patreon, you'll be reading ahead of when things release on Tapas, but follower count is important to their algorithm, which is why I had brought it up

2025-10-26 21:14:33 +0000 UTCPeople are odd. That makes no sense to me as I loved Secret Records of Axel Font. I just bought both books again to help a little! However, I did review them over a month ago. Maybe I’ll try reviewing the set. It sometimes has that option. Amazon is PITA to review on, but these books were awesome!! People need to find them! What is Tapas? I found a tapas.io for stories, but couldn’t find you name when I searched!
