“Yo...Miss Turner is a bitch...”

I have started on book 2, but progress is slow. I'm not a quick writer and this isn't my day job. In t...
The expedition made a show of galloping until the traffic thinned and they lost sight of the storm ward. After that, they slowed to a steady canter and followed a road along the cliffs. Vincent watched as the waves from The Great Divide crashed in...

I am. Kirlon projected, the two storms we have been observing changed direction. They head toward Meldohv, though they are slow of speed. Fourteen days...

“Vinny, here it comes!” Karun Cordell said. She stood at the edge of the beach with her son. “Get ready!”

I finally got Slade's finished ref sheet. There is a typo on her name, but the artist was kind enough to send me the PSD file, so I'll fix it when I have time. Artist is CircadianCrunch.

Patreon is a confusing mess. Chapter 32 has been released, and I think I edited all the proper permissions, but if anybody is locked out, let me know. F me...who designed this garbage?

What are your thoughts? When I reach the final chapter, it's going to be a while before I start posting book 2. ( I've only got a single chapter in book 2 done and I'm not sure I like it enough to keep it. There's a lot of work to be done.)
