Added 2025-03-19 19:39:19 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Today I am back for an eighth time to show you a brand new track...well, it's not brand new, it's the eighth instalment in a very old very long track! That's right everyone, it's time for Mark of the Fool 8 to release on Audible!
I would hold for applause, but Travis Baldree deserves the applause for his performance! I know some of y'all have been waiting so enjoy!
Find it through this link: https://www.audible.com/pd/Mark-of-the-Fool-8-Audiobook/B0DY8ML8MW
Check it out!
And now for something I've been sitting on for awhile...
Fool is being released in bookstores in Light Novel form!
So what's that mean? For those who don't know: Light Novels are a type of Japanese or Japanese inspired-novel, usually shorter than other novels with 4-5 illustrations placed in the books.
My publisher is creating western light novels for a number of their series, including Mark of the Fool. What's this mean for Mark? It means that the novel series will be broken up into shorter, smaller volumes with Light Novel art included. My art is being done by talented a Japanese artist, by the name of Natsujirushi with editing done by Der-Shing Helmer.
Essentially, it's the same story but split into less giant books with illustrations inside...like this one:
This is more anime inspired art that takes different aesthetics than what the webtoon will be styled as and what my covers are like.
It's different but I think it's gorgeous, lol. Remind me a lot of the JRPGs I played when I was younger along with the anime I've watched.
It's an exciting thing for Fool. If you are interested in the interior illustrations, you can purchase a copy of from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or tons of other book stores:

This is for folks who read light novels and haven't read Fool before, or folks who have read Fool and want to revisit it with new art.
It will be Available on April 1st, 2025!
P.S. I AM BECOME DEATH LAUNCHES ON RR TOMORROW. NEXT WEEK WILL HAVE 5 CHAPTERS M-F!

I love that you are creating anime but after reading this series Im ready for the live action. I know itβs a long road but Im sure many would invest.

2025-04-02 05:35:06 +0000 UTCNew to following the patreon and catching up on MotF. Cool to see the LN versions of volume 1 -- just preordered via B&N. Quick question regarding physical books though: I'm a fan of hardcovers. Any chance of getting more hardcover options of the non-LN versions already published via Amazon? I think only 1, 2, and 9 have hardcover options at the moment.

2025-03-21 15:53:41 +0000 UTCI think it's really cool that MoF is getting a light novel. The art style will be fun to see. I just can't unsee how the neck looks stretched on Teresa

2025-03-20 14:31:23 +0000 UTCHave you created any maps for the MotF world? I thought itβd be cool to add that to one of the Patreon tiers.

2025-03-20 03:06:21 +0000 UTCI wonder will the series be divided into around 20 parts? Will the light novels be available in digital form(kindle etc)?

2025-03-20 02:48:34 +0000 UTCI finally have a definition for light novel. I guess I could have looked that up at any time, but I didn't realize I wanted to know that until now, and now I'm surprised how long I went without knowing that.
