Vol. 1 Chap. 5 The First Wave

Nobody got hungry or thirsty. I could have ignored it earlier, but by the end of a long and busy day, it was inescapable. I… wasn’t hungry. More than not hungry, I didn’t feel the compulsion ...

Vol. 1 Chap. 4 No Job For A Man

“Versai, any idea when I should expect the first monster wave?” I lead my tiny army back towards the stairs. There was a whole rest of the tower to explore, and then trees to harvest, defenses ...

Vol. 1 Chap. 3 They Aren’t Dolls, They Are Poseable Figurines and it’s Not Weird to Collect Them!

The long pool went misty, as a muted, but somewhat upbeat, celestial choir sang. A sad step down from when I pulled Versai. Still, it looked nice. I was excited to see what my first thousand crysta...

Vol. 1 Chap. 2 Rise, My Loyal Blade!

The cloaked pervert waved his? hands quickly. “I really don’t have much time. Most of the tower stuff is pretty self explanatory. Explore and you will figure everything out. There are monsters ...

Vol. 1 Chap. 1. Thirst Trap = Death Trap

I shook my head in disgust at the tasteless sexualization of women in advertising. A bodaciously busty vampire beauty, with a distinctive gold hairpiece and a dress that existed more in theory than...

New Book Rolling Out for Barefoot Prophets At 1pm Eastern

Every five minutes, a new chapter. First five drop today, next five tomorrow, then five more over the balance of the week. By the end of the week, you will be 15 chapters ahead of RR. 

I...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 11 One Small Step

Truth had his priorities straight. After zipping away from the Embassy of Siphios and the alarming number of recording talismans, watcher spirits and unmarked, windowless ‘delivery wagons' parked...

I promised you something dramatic...

As of today, everyone will have wrapped up Vol. 3 of Slumrat Rising (or, at least, gotten access to it through their membership tier). Now, my deal with Podium was for three books. Obviously I'm co...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 10 One Weird Trick

Truth sat and read the spellbook for Earth Folding Step. It was the longest single spell he had ever seen, blowing past Incisive and Cup and Knife. The Meditations would be practically a footnote i...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 9 Hammered Out

Three spells to choose from. First- Earth Folding Step. Direct combat utility was… more than zero, but not a big number. More tactical than direct damage. The ability to instantly close and retre...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 8 New Tools

Merkovah lead Truth from the enchanted conference room to a small interview room. It was just big enough for two chairs, a desk, and extremely robust privacy protections. Truth wasn’t entirely fi...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 7 Happy Ending Guarenteed

Truth thought about it a bit longer. He could sort of see what they were getting at. The conversion process, at least while he was working for Starbrite, took years to be fully effective. Or, at le...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 6 Persuasive

Truth wasn’t sure of the etiquette here. Normally, he would start the sentence with “Ms.-” but being a Siphios aristocrat, the old lady didn’t have a last name. “Madame-” and a job titl...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 5 Blessings of the Elders

The smell of the incense mixed with the woodsmoke and the coffee to create something incredible. A sensory mist that spoke to them, and the world around them. It was the only one talking. The group...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 4 From Siphios With Love

It took twenty minutes for the receptionist to return. Truth noticed that, regrettably, she did not have any coffee. Worse, she was also giving him a distinctly odd look. Well hidden, but he was us...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 3 Rain, Rain, Go Away

Truth raced the sunset into the big city on the river. His road atlas claimed, to Truth’s deep suspicion, that the name of the town was “The Hot Male Side of the Shang River.” Which was clear...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 2 If It's Stupid But It Works...

The iron horse ate up the kilometers, running south and west, paralleling the plume of smoke and ash from the volcano. People were on the roads, trying to evacuate. Some people were let through, lo...

To The Far Shore Has Been Pirated on Amazon, Do NOT Buy

Bit of a bummer announcement on the day Vol. 2 of Slumrat Rising's release, but-

Someone has uploaded my first novel, To The Far Shore on Amazon. The cover has been mirrored and the synopsis ...

Slumrat Rising Vol. 5 Chap. 1 Bonfire Morning

Truth raced down the highway on his stolen iron horse, scarf wrapped over his face, demon perched on his shoulder. The sky burned red, as the war he started raged below it. He was responsible for t...

And So Ends Vol. 3!

It was a long, wild ride, but we got there. From blown up and in the ocean at the southern tip of Jeongo, to going to orbit out of an exploding volcano in the extreme north of Jeon, in only ~300,00...

Vol. 4 Chap. 85 Looking Down on the World

The Shattervoid swarmed around their lost girl- uncles and cousins the size of mountains and rivers. Aunties who stepped between the stars. Brothers? Sisters? Sibs of the sea of stars? Truth had lo...

Vol. 4 Chap. 84 Uplifted

The High Level glared at him. The base was shaking steadily now. There were booms coming from upstairs, and the walls were shaking. He could smell the sulfur reek. Was it getting hotter? “The Hel...

Vol. 4 Chap. 83 Diving In

For once, it wasn’t the fault of Truth’s horrible education. He just didn’t think. There was a lot going on. The sulphuric gas, heated to some five hundred degrees, wouldn't combust without o...

Vol. 4 Chap. 82 It's Not Smart, But Maybe It's Right

There was a sticky feeling to the moment. A second that stretched past all normal bounds, tugged long by fear and lucid madness. Taffy time, glued to a fool’s fingers. Truth had no idea what the ...
