Archcrafter: Chapters 31-33 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
The second book in The Brightest Shadow will be coming out before the next TWC chapters, but there should be no delay in chapter posting. That will get an announcement of its own, so look forward to that!Meanwhile, I think this is a fun set of chapters. Several subplot coming together, and a sequenc...
Archcrafter: Chapters 28-30 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
There's a lot of neat stuff going on behind the scenes. I'm working on a number of new covers. I hope there won't be too much of a gap between the third and fourth books. Another soulcrafting tutorial with the characters, eventually.But all that stuff is still WIP and can't really be...
Archcrafter: Chapters 25-27 (The Weirkey Chronicles)

TWC Cover Decisions
These images came in too late for yesterday's post... I decided screw it, I can make another one. The previous artist sent me these three, a combination of edits and different filters. Please speak up about your preferences or upvote comments you agree with.Regardless, I need to make a decision ...
Archcrafter: Chapters 22-24 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
I have a surprise for everyone, one that was a surprise to me too! A fan of Street Cultivation just sent me fanart of Rick and Melissa. ^-^ I'm not sure how many of you have Instagram, but if people don't, I'll see if I can't get someone to upload the files elsewhere.* Instagram seem...
Archcrafter: Chapters 19-21 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
The last of the first run of worldbuilding posts is up on the blog and subreddit. This one actually wasn't planned, I wrote it due to requests. This concludes the first set, and the second set won't be posted until A Hollow Mountain is released.Meanwhile, we have some fun events these TWC ch...
Archcrafter: Chapters 16-18 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Usual combination of worldbuilding post and new chapters. These ones are starting up the countdown that's meant to tie everything together through this whole book.-Chapter 16Five months.Theo had taken an unexpected step forward, since Nauda had helped him find the trenchgem, but it had thrown of...
Archcrafter: Chapters 13-15 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
New worldbuilding post on the blog, new chapters here.-Chapter 13For two weeks, Theo didn't leave the House Blacksilver complex except in the company of others for assignments. In part out of caution in case Esaire's family intended to strike immediately, and in part because this was an esse...
Archcrafter: Chapters 10-12 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Not much business, for once. There's a new worldbuilding post, of course. Otherwise, to the chapters!-Chapter 10"Come on, Theo, didn't you say we should be taking more risks?"He frowned at Nauda, even though he knew that he was going to give in eventually. "There are different ki...
Archcrafter: Chapters 7-9 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Three items of business, then new chapters!First, my novella Blades Falling Softly was chosen for one of r/fantasy's book of the month clubs! I think most people here who wanted to read it already have, but if you were waiting, there's a Q&A with me and there will be discussion posts through...
Archcrafter: Chapters 4-6 (The Weirkey Chronicles) + Worldbuilding Posts
Three more new chapters, but first a mini-announcement. To lead up to the second book in The Brightest Shadow, I'll be posting a series of posts about the worldbuilding. They'll go up every week, and this week there's an image from the post up top, but in the future I'll just post/li...
Archcrafter: Chapters 1-3 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Hey, everyone, the third book is starting now! The covers aren't finished, but this book went long and so it will run for several months at least. I can't guarantee no delay afterward, but there's no reason to make anyone wait longer.Not sure if this one should have too long an introduct...

February Update + AMA
I've closed the previous vote, and a majority voted for a short delay now. It won't be terribly long until book three begins posting, definitely in March. Also look for new tiers to be added... at some point when I have time.Anyway, this is our first AMA! Not sure if we need rules or prompts...
Poll: Should a chapter delay come before or after TWC3?
Hey, everyone. I'm planning to do an AMA here next week, but I wanted to ask you another question. I'm willing to go either way, so I decided to put this one to a direct vote and I'll do whatever the majority says, barring surprise circumstances.Basically: TWC3 is done, ready for posting...
TWC Cover Progress
Hey, everyone. No chapters this week as the RoyalRoad posting winds down. Last time I got hate for not giving people time to read, so I'll leave them up a bit longer.In any case, the new covers aren't close to done, so we're stalled anyway. Please check out the new draft for TWC1, though...
Rainhorn: Epilogue (The Weirkey Chronicles)

Rainhorn: Chapters 27-29 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
More notes after the chapters.-Chapter 27"You've even penned yourself in like rats." The Deuxan Archcrafter lifted his pike as his cantae cloak flowed around him. "A convenient place to finally finish you.""How did you find us?" Theo asked, less because he cared about the...
Rainhorn: Chapters 25-26 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
We're coming close to the end of TWC2, after which there will be a little time off so non-patrons can finish, as usual. However, this time the real delay has nothing to do with writing or posting and everything to do with getting the right covers for this series.The image you see for this post w...
Rainhorn: Chapters 22-24 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Two items of business first, this week.The Brightest Shadow readers: I'll be releasing a prequel novella set in the same world, though with different characters and tone. If you're interested in being an ARC reader, send me a private message!Patreon Future Stuff: I've decided to add a na...
Rainhorn: Chapters 19-21 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Hey, everyone. I hope the start of 2021 is treating you better than it is me. This is a relatively minor issue compared to everything in the world, but could you take a look at the reviews for TWC1 and upvote those you feel are most helpful?https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08P7TYG41/Pacing a compl...
Rainhorn: Chapters 16-18 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Welcome to the new year! One last bit of business from the old year is that I'm eligible for a Stabby award on r/fantasy. However, they're very serious about vote manipulation, so please only consider voting if you participate in the community and have opinions about a variety of categories:...
2020 in Review
I could go over various things. I released four books this year, along with multiple audiobooks and various serials. Reporting on various numbers isn't really important compared to sharing some reflections that, fair warning, are overall negative. If you don't care about that and just want t...
Rainhorn: Chapters 13-15 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
Three items of business before the chapters:1) I'm participating in a huge sale on r/fantasy, in which 100+ authors are making 250+ books free or $0.99. Please check it out, because there's a good chance you'll find something of interest to you.2) RoyalRoad changed the formatting again. ...
Rainhorn: Chapters 10-12 (The Weirkey Chronicles)

Rainhorn: Chapters 7-9 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
New chapters.-Chapter 7Before they asked any questions, they got well out of sight of the gate, just in case others started coming through. It was evident that the Deuxan side was nowhere near as prominent, but the chaos in Nlukoko could well spill over. Particularly if the Landguards were still inv...
Rainhorn: Chapters 4-6 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
If you're interested in the above image, it's just a small part of a post I made here. It features Theo, Nauda, and Fiyu discussing soulcrafting, their blueprints, and some new designs that have never been shown before. I thought it would be a cute way to get into some of the technical detai...

Rainhorn: Chapters 1-3 (The Weirkey Chronicles)
That's right, everybody, it's starting! I scheduled forward for the next several months and if I don't start posting now, it'll take too long between the early book releases. I'm still not sure what will happen to the Patreon, but I'll definitely post this book's chapters...
