Theo Spencer,

5th Day, Season of Fire,

873rd Year of Balkor’s Betrayal

Well, the privacy of my writings is no long...

Update. (Week of 7-7-2023)

My new story "Summon The Great Spirits" is coming either this Friday or next Friday. Gonna follow the 3 chapters per week schedule as closely as I can. It may pause, unlike N&D, but I have half...

Tero’gal

“Theo!” Tresk shouted. She struggled against the vines holding her tight, rolling herself over to protect Alex as she dug for her dagger. Each motion broug...

Weekly Updates (6-30-2023)

I can't express how much easier it is to post early chapters by putting them in 1 post. It is legit just... It's a dream. I'll never go back. Screw that.

Anyway, updates. So, N&D book 3 f...

Khahar Departs

Sunlight filtered through the window in Theo’s room, casting shafts of light through the dusty air. He couldn’t remember the last time he dumped a bott...

Update (Week of 6-23-2023)

I've neglected what... 2 weeks of updates? Well, there's a reason.

Firstly, you'll notice I haven't missed a release. Because I don't miss a release, baby!

On the 28th, N&D won't ha...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 62

Tresk and Theo spent the rest of the day working on potions for Fenian. They didn’t limit themselves to what he’d requested, making anything that fit with his theme of defensive potions. Althou...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 61

“You can’t just send her out like that,” Theo said, locking his eyes on Aarok. The Half-Ogre wouldn’t give, staring right back.

“I’ll remind you what we are. By your own words, we...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 60

Theo stopped by the Newt and Demon to set the stills to work. Salire stopped him to discuss their current orders, going over the things he missed from the other day. The interruption would have ann...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 59

An uneventful day was a good one. Theo had finished his work in the lab, finding his way to Xam’s tavern with his friends. Tonight’s meal was a variation of the wolf meat stew, this time infuse...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 58

An attempted murder wasn’t the best start to the Season of Fire. Theo sat discussing the issue with Aarok, staring out the man’s office window and idly responding. He was lost in his thoughts, ...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 57

Theo sat at his regular table with Alise, Tresk, and Alex at the Marsh Wolf Tavern. It was clear they would need more places for townsfolk to eat. Xam was working hard to keep everyone fed with lux...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 56

Xam’s feast was legendary. With food provided by Rivers and Daub, and the expanding production of Broken Tusk, she wove an array of dishes that brought the two towns together on the table. The El...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 55

The glittering portal remained open for far too long. Theo got more uncomfortable the longer the Bridge remained open, even after Fenian drove his Karatan team out from within. The Elven refugees s...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 54

Despite Theo’s expectations, there wasn’t a massive portal outside the town’s walls. No elves poured through, flooding Broken Tusk in the early hours of the morning. Instead, he had tea and a...

Friday Updates (week of 6-2-2023)

It's a light week for updates!

First part of writing N&D4 is going well. It's a fairly natural resting point after the events of book 3. Once I have a few chapters of that in the backlog,...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 53

It was hard enough to spend time away from the gosling, no matter how little, but harder still to leave once Theo had returned. The junior administration staff had things for the alchemist to look ...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 52

Azrug was a man who took his job seriously. While he was absent from the Newt and Demon, he’d been working on a project. Theo felt pride flash through his chest when he saw the Karatan-drawn carr...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 51

There were a few wounds too grave for even Theo’s potions to save. No one died from the siege, but several adventurers were left with missing appendages. But even those who now hobbled through th...

Friday Updates (week of 5-26-2023)

Whew Friday. Even though I write these on Thursday.

So, this is something I've experienced in the past. I left the last few chapters of N&D3 for this writing sprint. And switching from bo...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 50

Goblins stumbled through the swamp west of Broken Tusk. Theo stood, flanked on either side by [Lesser Copper Golems] with Alex perched on his shoulder. The gosling was excited to see the oncoming a...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 49

“We can’t call him Cheepy,” Tresk said, frowning at the wiggling chick.

Theo and Tresk woke to the sound of a small chick chirping happily near the alchemist’s bed. It had a dark blac...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 48

Theo finished his second helping of Xam’s Zee and wolf meat pasta bake. He washed the meal down with some imported mead and let out a satisfied sigh. With the world conspiring to some unknown end...

Friday Updates (week of 5-19-2023)

Alright. That's a wrap for my sprint on the unknown book. Let's look at numbers and see how I did. Note, if you're looking at these numbers and you think I wrote a lot, this was the start of a book...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 47

Theo stared at the egg in his satchel. There were no cracks visible on its surface, just the same familiar sheen. He pressed his fingers against its surface and waited, but there was no movement. T...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 46

Grand dreams sometimes died in the face of practicality. A system of pipes and tanks wasn’t off the table, but a simple organization of the lab’s storage crates would go a long way. The supply ...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 45

Theo dodged a downpour of questions from Throk, running from the center of town with the Marshling in pursuit. He lost him behind the town hall, circled around, and found his way to the new butcher...

Friday Updates (Week of 5-12-2023)

Hooray. Another week gone. Where did it go? I have no idea someone help me.

So, the N&D chapters are coming along. Chapter 3.35 on Royal Road is especially impactful to the story. Hard to...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 44

Theo had an arsenal of responses for Tresk’s assassin attacks now. The [Potion of Limited Foresight] gave him enough wiggle room to enact his plan, while the [Retreat Potion] allowed him to gain ...

The Newt and Demon - Book 3 Chapter 43

Throk banged out an overly efficient design for the air conditioner in mere minutes. The man had a mind built for artifices, and Theo couldn’t help but think of the Demonic God Tworgnoth. The way...
