Henlo my dudes. I've got just some water right now but tonight might call for something a bit stronger as I do my very best to avoid the news.

Deathless Dungeoneers

The outline and world building process documents are done. The outline is probably the strongest outline I've ever written, so I'm really confident I'm gonna fly through this bad boy once I get approval. It's about 1000X better than Deathless Towers was, and also now I don't have to replicate those god-forsaken shonen tropes I can't stand.

Prison World: Earth

Back on the menu, bois. I realized that I'm going to have down-time between my Shadow Alley Press projects (inevitably) and when that happens I'd like to have something else to work on. Also, I might just need a change of pace now and again.

I think I mentioned this project a while ago, but for those who remember nothing (like me), this is an urban fantasy, female lead, gamelit novel series with some pretty kickass covers if I do say so myself.

I've done a bunch of research into the genre and this is going to go places I've never gone before in my writing... straight to the crotch, a lot. >.< no, I'm not kidding... Paranormal Urban Fantasy ALWAYS comes with a love interest and so I guess I'm going to write my MC looking at penis bulges and stuff because that's what the market wants. It won't all be about penis bulges and I will be a bit more testeful than that... >:)

For the magic system, I'm reaching out to an honest-to-gods Egyptologist to consult with me on how it might work and that's damn exciting to me. Can't wait to share more.

That's it for now my dudes. I hope you're staying safe out there and not worrying too much.
