Hello! So there's been a lot of ups and downs recently in my life, and I apologize for not being more communicative here.
One of the ups, though, is that book 1 of Wizard's Tower ha...
2022-05-03 05:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostFor tragic personal reasons I won't be publishing new chapters for a while.
I've paused all this months payments. I apologize to everyone who was looking forward to it. Please be assur...
2022-02-21 17:17:31 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Just wanted to give a quick update for anyone wondering where the next chapter is at. Before that, though, thanks for being so understanding about the break!
Update 1:
... 2022-01-25 22:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostAs the spell finished, I floated down to land on the top of Froom’s tower and couldn’t withhold my smile. Alred, though, sighed and shook his head.
“What is it?” I asked with a brow r...
2022-01-08 23:44:04 +0000 UTC View PostMy spell didn’t fizzle out, though it was a close thing. Seeing three large gateways open on the other three plateaus that surrounded the monster was a surprise. Even more so, when soldiers and m...
2022-01-08 04:04:15 +0000 UTC View Post“I must say I am surprised as such a quick decision.” Crylus held a half-smile.
“Why?” I scoffed. “If the price is to forgive you for breaking your word, how is offering a second ch...
2022-01-07 19:49:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt was four days later, I found myself flying as fast as I could south. Heedless of clouds or wind, I hadn’t flown this fast before without being in a panic. Those fools, the Heroes, had departed...
2022-01-06 21:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s a contradiction, of course: wanting to hold someone you care for, but not wanting them to be in enough pain to need it. A conflict of emotions that I had never truly needed to deal with befo...
2022-01-06 20:12:35 +0000 UTC View PostAtop the pillar of stone I had created, with the wind whipping at our backs, I wrapped Lilly in a big hug. It was good to see her again, even if the circumstances were a little unusual. She brought...
2022-01-04 22:02:01 +0000 UTC View PostAs the land the city rested on began to rise, I slowly floated over to the courtyard the spread from the gatehouse between the second and third rings. Along the battlements and towers, I could see ...
2021-12-30 20:06:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe tavern I left was in the center of the third ring, near the walls of the second, but neither the street nor the buildings nearby were left unmarked. The soldiery of different noble houses march...
2021-12-28 23:25:49 +0000 UTC View PostI donned the robe I wore to the battle of Gold Castle and withdrew my most powerful war staff. The memory of taking my time to reach Laxton Bay burned me, and I didn’t want a repeat of that. The ...
2021-12-28 02:05:53 +0000 UTC View PostAnother week had come and gone as I struggled to understand Pyl’s decision. It was almost a suicide, in a way, the trading of his soul for the king’s. Pyl had left a bundle of tombs and scrolls...
2021-12-22 20:09:30 +0000 UTC View Post“Nemon, I apologize for lying,” Pyl’s voice echoed across his laboratory—a room that had seen significant changes since my last visit.
“Oh?” I had arrived as Pyl was overloo...
2021-12-20 23:36:24 +0000 UTC View Post“Leslie, that is not a concern of yours,” I shook my head, though I don’t think she was listening to me.
“Master—Nemon—I just want to know what you plan to do with her,” m...
2021-12-17 19:24:08 +0000 UTC View PostAs plans go, I was especially proud of this one. While the children had certainly crafted that horrendous hat as a gift to me, a whispered discussion with Kine had concluded that for all practical ...
2021-12-15 19:47:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello! I had some ideas for patreon exclusive chapters / POV interludes / etc, and was considering additional chapters such as one where Nemon attempted to rebuild his destroyed couch from bo...
2021-12-14 23:50:03 +0000 UTC View PostCothram, the 5th Tier [Dark Blade] who the king sent to assassinate me dodged the strike by leaping to the side. The man was agile, I’ll give him that. That wouldn’t save him. When we last met,...
2021-12-14 21:51:28 +0000 UTC View PostThe [Lesser Hydra] twisted and curled in useless anger against the tight grip of my 5th Tier elemental. The spikes on my elemental’s tentacles scraped away deep gouges on the iridescent scales of...
2021-12-14 00:17:48 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a full day and a half of much-needed sleep, I awoke to an excellent breakfast of eggs, sausage, fruit, and freshly-baked biscuits. After nearly a week of eating travel rations, I may have eat...

Surprise! Let me know what you all think!
2021-12-09 18:19:40 +0000 UTC View PostMy words, of course, warranted no reaction from the soldiers. These weren’t normal soldiers, mercenaries, or adventurers – they were Mirtallean slave-soldiers. Regardless of any fear they might...
2021-12-08 21:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe earth magic spell I used to draw plateaus wouldn’t work well with Laxton Bay. It could lift the city, but the bay itself would spill out. Then the city would follow, being as it wasn’t buil...
2021-12-06 23:10:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe young messenger from the duchess stayed with me at the tower for two days, waiting for me to pen my response to the duchess-turned-queen. An amenable lad, though he had a penchant for going to ...
2021-12-03 23:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostLeaves fell around Pyl and me as we walked the curving path that circled my plateau. Some of the trees near the edges of my plateau weren’t taking well to their new elevation and had begun to dro...
2021-12-01 18:40:13 +0000 UTC View PostI rose from the couch I sat, carelessly knocking down the bottle of wine. For as much as I chastised Alred for taking to his cups to alleviate his grief, I was little better. I had tried burying my...
2021-11-29 22:34:58 +0000 UTC View PostI sat on my stone chair in the first-floor greeting hall watching the merchant spy Honest Broom depart. He had just returned from his trip north and urgently requested an audience to tell me his fi...
2021-11-27 02:02:43 +0000 UTC View PostI was stunned by the magnitude of the spell I had cast. It hadn’t happened since I learned my first fireball spell and the explosion from it scared me. The mages beside me at the time had faces o...
2021-11-24 22:42:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe spoke more as we traveled back towards the gate to my home, casual topics such as slow growth of the plane and transporting earth as well as people. His plan to increase the speed seemed to be t...
2021-11-22 21:46:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a slow, meandering walk back towards his crystal tower, but one that I quite enjoyed. Mostly because the exertion left Alred sweaty and out of breath. It was a petty joy, certainly, but one ...
