Hey peeps!
Just letting you all know that I'm trapped in Wichita, Kansas. o.o
I flew to Kansas with my husband's mother (as we're thinking of living in this state) but on the way home all our flights were canceled. The airport provided us a hotel room (and 12 dollars for food, lol) and told us we had to wait for another flight.
We may not be getting home for a few days, appare...

As Patreons, I'd like to be giving you guys f...

Hello peeps!
Today is my birthday. Ever since John got super sick (and I got mildly sick) I've been playing catch up, but I think I'm close to being back on track. I want more Grandmaster Arcanist out, and I definitely want all of Academy Arcanist our for you guys before the end of July (or just right after).

CHAPTER NINETEEN

Nini and I rejoined the group. We hung a few feet behind, allowing everyone else to travel up the stairs first. A few people glanced back at Waste, their eyes narrowed in suspicion.
My father would’ve hated Waste. He hated anything that wa...

Before Kellan left the suite, he held up a hand, asking for a moment, and headed back for his room. He wanted his rule book. Surely there would be some sort of special rules for the fifth game. There always was, i...

I thought I'd write a quick update and show you the latest book cover Darko created. This is a before and after (he sent me the non-fire cover, and we talked about changes, and then he sent me this cover). I know my Ethereal Squadron series isn't as popular as Frith, but I do want to complete it so that I have a series that's done, lol
Hopefully you enjoy the cover! Darko...

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
A PUPPET
I ran.
Without looking back, I pushed myself to run full speed ahead. The memorial was dark and cold, but the light of the distant exit was plain as day. I headed straight for it, desperately craving an exit out of the shadows.
That was when I almost tripped over something. My foot caught an object, and I he...
