I'm moving

Hey readers, I'm moving this weeked, so no chapters this coming Thursday the 7th as I really get into packing all my stuff up. We'll be back to normal schedule next week, and things should be all in order computer and internet wise Sunday, so I'll be starting weekly single TT:E chapters then and ...

BS6 C17

The benefits of having competent subordinates were many, but the biggest one in Kay’s opinion was that it was much easier to get things going from a sudden start. With barely any notice planning sessions were scheduled and went underway, missives and messages were sent out to gather everyone ne...

BS6 C16

“The decision about whether or not Avalon will intervene in the crisis affecting the region to our west has been taken out of our hands.” Kay addressed the assembly of his ministers, advisers, and other important minds needed for this discussion. “Evidence that has been uncovered suggests t...

BS6 C15

Dozens of vampyr died in the first strike as arrows, blasts, blades, and a variety of other attacks all made of blood erupted from Kay’s forces. Kay himself sent two shaped harpoons at the two vampyr that seemed to be leading the rest, aiming to drag them to him for questioning. The lanky male ...

TT:E C18

If you read the announcement I just posted, I remembered to post it because it's time for TT:E chapters.

*********

They trekked deeper into the grasslands, leaving the gas station behind them, with the tiny arrow in their vision guiding their way to the closest safe zone. Seeing the s...

Mild Directional Change

Hey everybody, first of all don't worry this isn't about Blood Shaper, nothing is changing there. This is about TT:E, the patreon exclusive story I've been working on with the goal of it being my next published series. I had a pretty bare bones talk with my publisher and other authros I respect, ...

BS6 C14

The lone vampyr making it’s way in the general direction of Avalon’s border was unmistakably an “it”. Dehumanizing the enemy was an old tactic to make it easier for your soldiers to be able to kill other people, it’s not “murder” it’s “putting down dangerous animals” and such....

BS6 C13

I like these characters quite a bit.

*********

Amanda stared at the problematic woman sitting across from her, who was looking back blandly without any outward reaction to the several minutes of silence that had gone by. Amanda’s first impression of Miri was of someone that could ta...

BS6 C12

“I…” A number of responses ran through Kay’s head, immediate denial, accusations, questions about her sanity, and more. The look in her eyes was dead serious, which removed some of the questions about her sanity at least, and as excitable and chaotic as Zeia could be, Kay’s experience w...

BS6 C11

A small family was clustered together while seated at a low table, and two other individuals that could have been guards or adventurers rested wearily against the walls of a room inside the fortifications. A pair of robed figures that Kay faintly recognized were checking over the two children of ...

TT:E C17

Alex dived forward, bringing his armored arm up in front of himself as if he had a shield. The head of the green creature collided with him as it dove through the broken window and both of them staggered back from each other. Ed used the opportunity to charge forward himself, his boar spear held ...

TT:E C16

The night was dark, obviously, but it was so much darker than Maeve was used to and it felt oppressive in a way she hadn’t ever experienced before. She’d never experienced a night where there was no source of light besides the moon and the stars. Streetlights, cars passing by, the general ill...

TT:E C15

Maeve was interrupted from reading her spells’ descriptions by Scarlet waking up. She twitched a little as her eyes popped open and she sat up quickly, glancing around her. “Anything happen while I was out?”

“Nothing.” Ed reported, “We’ve been discussing what Maeve and Amelia ...

TT:E C14

Hit Points: 100

Hit Points are a representation of your physical health. They are not some magical form of protection, a power from the System that overrides the natural order, or anything else in that vein. They represent how healthy you are and how close you are to death,...

TT:E C13

“Amelia, that’s excellent!” Maeve cheered quietly. “Having a healer solves so many worries I had.”

“I know.” Amelia grinned, looking triumphant. “I was thinking the same thing. The first aid kits we brought are only going to last so long, and with magic and stuff there’s n...

TT:E C12

Time to begin the chapter dump

*********

Maeve shot awake suddenly. She didn’t gasp and sit up quickly, she was just suddenly awake and fully aware she was awake after having not been awake. It was a weird sensation, especially for someone that generally took a long time to get up i...

Chapter Dump Coming Up

Just a quick little message to let everyone know that the dump of TT:E chapters I was talking about is going to start tomorrow, where I'll be adding around 7-10 chapters here. That'll continue until I'm out of backlog and we're totally caught up for $10 members, and then as I finish chapters of t...

BS6 C10

Gah, my internet is being annoying!!!!

*********

For a moment Kay considered bringing his two new allies with him to the border, but a number of factors stopped him. There was no formal agreement in place yet, just their word. While he didn’t think Murunel’s cousin’s would break...

BS6 C9

Kay considered the pair for a moment. “I do think it would be too tyrannical of me to force you to stop trying to convince Murunel of your point of view by demanding that you leave Avalon, and I agree that allowing you to remain here indefinitely without any form of recompense would be a bit mu...

BS6 C8

Wrangling enough free time to go have a talk with ornery dragons wasn’t difficult, but it was tedious. There’s always something to do in running a government and after returning home from an important trip to find things going sideways that was more true for Kay than ever. Everyone wanted a m...

BS6 C7

Hey wassup, I didn't post on Tuesday because it was my birthday and I wasn't thinking about y'all at all. But here, have two chapters this evening.

*********

“That… was a little dramatic but I think it conveys the level of gravitas we’re dealing with here.” Kay replied, unable...

BS6 C6

After introductions were made in depth and Miri demonstrated her loyalty to Amanda’s tentative approval they dived back into the meeting, going over some of the subjects Amanda considered sensitive. They ranged from the plans and desires of various factions and leaders they’d discovered throu...

BS6 C5

And we're back to live posting again, although I'm planning on experimenting with pre-preparing everything to maybe make things easier on my end. We'll see how it goes.

Also, I'm really hating this "pay per post" option Patreon has added. I get it for other creators that aren't posting book...

Patreon Only Content (TT:E) Options

Hello, hello! I'm back from my lovely trip, and now it's time to work. As I mentioned before I left I'm continuing my Patreon only story, and still plan for the entire series to be only available on Patreon prior to it being published, unlike Blood Shaper and the other Splintered Five stories tha...

BS6 C4

As of this chapter I am home! And asleep because jet lag is a stone cold bitch.

*********

There was no grand parade welcoming Kay home, which was exactly how he wanted it. It was more a matter of expediency than anything else, but he also wanted to set a precedent as well. Parades and...

BS6 C3

Kay tapped his fingers against the thin railing that ran underneath the windows of the carriage he and Eleniah were in. The expansion of roads between Avalon’s cities had gone well and continued to progress, letting people move with vehicles and mounts and not being forced to walk between settl...

BS6 C2

The scrambling, maddened vampyr scraped at Cindy’s armor, desperately trying to pull itself closer to sink it’s fangs into her neck. The one hand she had pressed against its forehead was the only thing keeping it from tearing out her throat. Her nails were sinking into it’s skin with the fo...

BS6 C1

First chapter of the last book of the series! Time to get it done!

*********

Waves crashed against the hull of the Royal Avalon, tossing its occupants about. The storm wasn’t enough to capsize the ship or to send anyone but the most careless overboard, but it wasn’t anything to sn...

BS5 C51

Last chapter of the book, first chapter while I'm gone!

*********

Kay stared down at the Royal Avalon as it was being loaded to set sail. He was on top of the stairs leading down to the docks, waiting on Eleniah to finish saying goodbye to everyone she needed to.

“Sure you can...

All Set for Vacation!

It's all scheduled! I checked and all the right chapters are set to release at the right times for the right tiers. Enoy those chapters please! I'm off to do laundry and shove things back into my luggage for a lovely 5 am wakeup call.
