Updoots and Announcements!

Thank you everyone for your patience! I didn't want to talk about it too early because nothing was final, but part of my apparent slacking off this past week has been due to outside factors. Said factors mainly being the Skyclad audiobook!

Podium Publishing will be doing the audiobook for S...

Skybound - Chapter 12: Gatecrashing and Other Recreational Activities

 

Jacob Ward could feel the inertia of every horse he led in the charge. He felt every hoofbeat, every impact of lance against shield or flesh or wooden timbers as their shared and combined mass simply smashed through everything in their path. He was the point, the tip of the spear, an...

New Updoots for a New Year!

I wanted to present yall with a new years chapter along with updoots, but family randomness intervened and relatives extended their visits to avoid traffic and weather on some rather long drives home. Work on the next chapter continues, but the main thing I wanted to let everyone know is about th...

Skybound - Chapter 11: Thundersnow

 

Claire Descroix eyed the banners in the distance, barely swaying over the dark and shadowy forms of the mounted troops cresting the rise. It should not have been possible for the northlands to march a relief force so quickly, but the truth was before her eyes. For all that it was sur...

Skybound - Chapter 10: Hoofbeats

 

Belka Torm pulled his furs closer around himself to ward off the chill. He couldn’t be sure what time of day it was with the dark clouds all around and the snow kicked up by the horses obscuring the sun so completely. The column marched through an eerie twilight realm of powder and...

Skybound - Chapter 9: Divergent Trajectory

 

Morgan Mackenzie sat on the side of a partially constructed airship, ankles crossed with her feet dangling over the edge as she skimmed through her status menus and considered her choices. All around her the sounds of construction continued unceasing, a cacophony of background noise ...

Skybound - Chapter 8: Intangible Experience

 

Morgan Mackenzie was looking at her previously crafted geometrically perfect spheres, slightly embarrassed that she had missed something so obvious about magic. If she were totally honest with herself, that embarrassment was more than just slightly, but she refused to show i...

Stev Aras fired a magically modified heavy crossbow through the arrowslit, the enchanted bolt punching right through the first shield raised by the enemy spellcasters. The second shield only slowed the projectile, but then the enemy commander raised her hand. The air around her fist ...

Work on the chapter continues! I must admit I've been in a funk the past two weeks. I can't explain it, and certainly can't excuse it. It's been a struggle simply to get out of bed, and i've spent a lot of hours staring at my screen with my mind blanked out. You guys deserve better than that, and...

Skybound - Chapter 5: Roadside Respite

 

Millie Thatcher slumped against the side of the wagon, sagging with relief. Dismounting with only one arm was difficult enough under ideal circumstances -- and with her body feeling leaden and sluggish from her exertion, her current circumstances were far from ideal. The day was only...

Stev Aras stood over a table upon which had been placed a faded but intricately detailed map of Fort Expedition and the surrounding terrain. Locations of Deskren siege equipment, encampments, catapults and trebuchets were marked with flattened metallic chips. The city had felt little...
