Drop pods began to fire out the bottom of the transports, hurling themselves toward the surface while the surviving air mechs that the three cores commanded followed at a much slower pace, unable to match the velocity of the drop pods. The ground forces would be without air co...
2021-09-13 17:56:06 +0000 UTC View PostHere we are, the end of book 2, but not the end of Florence's adventures. As far as what's next, I plan on finishing up book 2 of War Core, which will be my full time focus. Once it's complete I'll start in on Limitless Seas 2, then Cat Core3.
Chapter 36.

2021-09-10 15:04:30 +0000 UTC View PostHugh’s vision jolted as the countdown timer hit zero. His point of view was now hovering over the small fleet of ships he had ordered constructed. Looking inside the transports, Hugh could see his ground forces were all positioned inside the drop pods, ready to fight once th...
2021-09-08 16:00:24 +0000 UTC View PostI've included two chapters today so you aren't left on a cliffhanger.
Chapter 34.
“Stop, do not harm this core, it isn’t to blame!” Shara said, climbing down the ladder from the attic to confront the kill team. Just how many folks were going to visit Florence’s home toda...
2021-09-06 13:32:37 +0000 UTC View Post“Matron, something’s going on over at Ben’s place,” Tipp said.
“What’s going on, and why do you think it’s any of my business,” Shara replied. She was getting ready for a rest when the initiate had stuck his head into her tent.
“I don’t know, bu...
2021-09-03 13:18:13 +0000 UTC View PostLooking at the countdown timer, there were still several hours until the human cores could participate in the battle. For now, all they could do was watch as the Krixnas attempted to stem the seemingly unending tide of Ssath ships that had appeared from deep space. They weren...
2021-09-01 16:20:56 +0000 UTC View Post“Sit still, you big stink bag,” Surly chided as he tried to fasten a harness around Spud’s big belly. Florence couldn’t believe it; the big plague charger was allowing the gnome to strap what looked like a mechanical saddle to her second-floor champion. The gnome finis...
2021-08-30 13:51:36 +0000 UTC View PostDurg took the lead, pushing aside the swordsmen that were forming up in front of the laundry room door. He kicked the door and charged inside, Arya and Q were already starting to summon creatures to defend them, but the armored orc wasn’t going to let that happen. His charge...
2021-08-27 18:02:20 +0000 UTC View PostHugh was pulled from his meeting and thrust out into space, a situation he assumed his fellow cores were facing. His consciousness was hurled faster and faster through the stars, before eventually settling in a system that featured an orangish star and a single planet orbiting...
2021-08-25 14:04:32 +0000 UTC View Post“What did you do to irritate these hooligans enough to make them come back after you?” Doug asked.
“I don’t know, they were creeps, but I couldn’t even talk to them when I was being carried here. That lich guy had some geas on them that prevented them from hurt...
2021-08-23 16:58:30 +0000 UTC View PostCouldn't wait until Monday before posting another chapter after the cliffhanger from chapter 28.
Chapter 29.
“Core gem, I know you can hear and speak with us, I require that you do so now. Tell me, without any subterfuge, how it is possible so many adventurers have met their demise...
2021-08-21 17:04:27 +0000 UTC View Post“Wow, they just got right to it, didn’t they?” Florence told Doug. The kitten advisor had finally tired of his amateur tinkering and was back for a nap on the rocking chair cushion.
“Yes, gnomes are quite industrious, and I have to admit I enjoy it myself. They a...
2021-08-20 13:00:14 +0000 UTC View Post“It sounds like this is going to be a very different fight, and it seems like the GCA has given our cores a way to interact before the battle begins,” Hugh advised, pushing the system prompt information out for the others to review. The techs had connected his core to a si...
2021-08-18 14:35:46 +0000 UTC View Post“Doug, quit yer tinkering and get out to the gazebo, it looks like Shara and them kids are back,” Florence called out as she spotted the party nearing her home. Doug and that gnome had been getting along like a house on fire, messing with them stupid bird robots. The gnome...

I have War Core 2, and Cat Core 3 ahead of it, but my artist had an opening so here's the artwork for the next Limitless Seas novel.
“Jess, did your run go well? Greetings Matron,” Junior asked as Shara led the party into the shop, his eyes locked onto the berserker and only noticing Shara at the last moment.
“Yes, Ben, we did pretty well overall. I think we all gained a level this time, and the...

“Major Logan, please report to the briefing room,” the PA called out as soon as Hugh returned to earth. The combat floor was a hive of activity as marines were assisted into their combat pods by more techs than Hugh had ever seen at one time. Just what was going on here if...
2021-08-11 15:52:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe party along with Shara left, and given the lack of noise, she figured they had made it back to the tunnel exit without any further problems. Florence spent some time sprucing things up, putting little decorative details throughout the home. Doug worked on his traps, wantin...
2021-08-09 13:30:14 +0000 UTC View PostI have an extra chapter of War Core for you this week.
Chapter 13.
Hugh’s internal compass led him to the nearest reward center. Despite the name, the reward center wasn’t all that exciting, just a simple kiosk that recognized him as soon as he approached. Before jumping into th...
2021-08-06 16:37:20 +0000 UTC View PostFlorence felt that she had at least a little time after Bartleby left to finish up what she wanted on her home. Her balance was down to $98.22, which should be enough to summon the last few cats and for Doug to round out things with his traps. The second-floor bath needed anot...
2021-08-06 16:17:32 +0000 UTC View PostI thought I'd give you a peek at the cheat sheet I use while writing Cat Core. I need notes to keep track of all the kitties, what they look like, and their abilities.

I wondered where you had run off to, I had heard they said you were destroyed, but I knew you were a lucky purchaser of my soulbond elixir,” Bartleby said. The somewhat slimy salesman w...
2021-08-04 14:23:04 +0000 UTC View PostAn infantry mech in the main canyon was obliterated by a plasma blast, the attack drawing Hugh’s attention. The mech had been approaching the rally point when it was hit, telling him the Ximkas core was pushing aggressively to retake the resource site it desperately needed. ...
2021-08-04 14:21:32 +0000 UTC View Post“Doug, what did you come up with for traps?” Florence asked. He was still moping around a bit since she named the last kitty but talking about traps seemed to perk the little guy right up.
“Oh, I didn’t realize you were done creating new defenders, did you run ou...
2021-08-03 12:53:40 +0000 UTC View Post“Oh, look at that, Mortimer can see them,” Doug said excitedly. It was true, since her cat could see them, Florence could see the invaders as well.
“How is he able to and none of the other kitties could?” Florence asked.
“Likely due his new class. I know ...
2021-07-30 13:15:18 +0000 UTC View PostHugh followed the progress of his siege spheres; the surviving pair began to open the distance between them and the rest of his forces. There was only one critical location standing between him and the Ximkas, the debris field that should have held the enemy’s siege spheres....
