Warsinger: Chapter 1 (Unedited)

Phew: sorry this took so long, guys! I've been dealing with some pretty awful writer's block since making the huge 5000-words-a-day push on Kingdom Come.

You're the first to see this wholly ...

Things have been a bit quiet on the posting front because the team at Soundbooth Theatre and I have been working long hours on this baby right here: the Trial by Fire audiobook!

Trial by Fire Audiobook: Exclusive Sample

Woo! I've been quiet because I've been busy working with Justin, Laurie and Jeff on this puppy. You guys are the first to hear any of the audiobook other than me - so enjoy!

Brute Force - Draft 1, Chapter One

Some of you (those on Discord) have probably seen me post snippets of this project. It's basically a fun diversion from Archemi Online - I felt like writing a more pulpy sort of LitRPG.

The g...

Warsinger Cover Reveal

My artist and I have been working intensively on this cover since April. Phew!

Karalti is canonically bigger than this, but we decided she should be small enough to have on the cover alongsi...

Warsinger - Cover sketch and dark colors layer

It begins! The artist was hugely patient in the development of this cover.

Discord!

We suddenly have a Discord channel! Yay!

I think it automatically added all you guys once I integrated it. I uh... hadn't actually intended for that to happen. So by all means, if Discord isn...

KC: Chapter 27

This is, in fact, the first chapter which resolves the issue I ranted about in my previous post.

We split up at the door to the Officer's Mess. Rin meekly far...

Updates

Everything has kind of come crashing down around my ears again. We are putting down our beloved horse on the 21st and moving in the first week of June, and I am desperately trying to get this book ...

Kingdom Come: Ch 26

At Soma’s request, the debrief was held in the Officer’s Mess. Compared to the War Room, it was clean, warm and dry, with brass candelabras and rich wooden furniture. There was rea...

Kingdom Come: Ch 25

“We need to hit those guns. As soon as the cannons appear, I want you to split. Get behind the artillery and get ready to flame.” I hopped up into a crouch, holding onto t...

Interlude: Some Archemi 3D art

I don't really have time to paint much any more, so when I need reference art, I turn to modeling.

I just use the Black Desert character maker and photoshop for these. You can probably tell. ...

Kingdom Come: Ch 24

It took the better part of the night to reach Korona. The sun was just coming up over the horizon when we sighted the Prezyemi Line from the air. That was made easier by the fact a goo...

Chapter 23

The crystallized slime plug that sealed the Broodmother’s inner sanctum was wedged in tighter than a three-day old booger. It took all five of us wailing on it for about ten mi...

Hector and Karalti: A Scene

I fumed all the way from the Officer's Mess to our quarters. Rin meekly farewelled us on the way to her own quarters in the Weaponeer's Hall, while Suri split to go and make sure...

Scarface

A day in the life of the artist.

This morning, our cellphones blurted a chorus of horrible loud sounds: an Amber alert. It scared the cat, who leaped off the bed and ran away across my face. ...

Note on Updates

Hi all - sorry for the lack of updates, but Norwescon kind of ate my life .__.

I need to revise the next section after the last posted chapter, just to make sure it lines up with the rest of ...

KC: Chapter 22

“SCREEEEEE!” Cutthroat’s bird-like screech echoed off the walls, and then her keel nearly drove me into the ground as she flung herself on top of me. The blow landed square...

Kingdom Come: Ch 21

As we advanced through the cave, there was less ice and more slime. A lot more slime. More slime than I ever needed to see or experience. It was white, thick, and the jokes were ...

Kingdom Come: Ch 20

It was like this the entire day. Encounter after encounter, mob after mob. Every mudhole seemed to contain something dangerous, poisonous, hungry, or any combination of the three...

Kingdom Come: Ch 19

3 hours later.

The Endlar Swamp was humid. Very humid. A croaking, humming, brackish, dreary thousand-acre morass that stood between us and a sizable number of zom...

Kingdom Come: Chapters 1-18 Feedback Thread

Phew - we're at about the 55K mark now with Kingdom Come, and given that you guys are the first people besides my wife to read any of it, I would be very interested in your feedback. I am tragicall...

Kingdom Come: Ch 18

I spent a good twenty minutes milking Zlazlo for information on the Endlar, then left him to sleep. After telling the medic what I’d done to treat him, I headed back to the bed...

Kingdom Come: Chapter 17

In my sober moments, I told myself I’d picked up the Healing skill tree because it was fun and interesting. But if I was being honest with myself, a big part of my hunger to le...
