[Choose Your Own Adventure] Part 26

Hey guys!

Just as an update: more Master Arcanist soon! I'm still recovering from jaw surgery, and once I get back to my normal writing group meetings, I'll be posting more chapters.

Hopefully that's okay!

The Keeper of Corpses [Novemeber Short] Frith Chronicles

Hey guys!

Here is the Nov short story (as told from the viewpoint of Ezril and his eldrin, the Keeper of Corpses). 

I think you'll need to have read Arcanist Fables for this (since Ezril is a character there) but if you haven't, this is still a story you can understand.

I'm going into surgery today. Wish me luck.

Choose Your Own Adventure [Part 24]

Hey guys,

Weekend was crazy. I wanted to do a lot more, but things kept getting in the way. First my mother, then family, and now my tooth.

Quick aside: I grew up super poor, and my crooked teeth were never corrected as a kid. Now, as an adult, I've gone in to have my problems fixed, but Invisa-lign isn't enough to straighten some teeth, so one will likely have to be removed. I'm su...

So, Patreon doesn't want to do "timed published posts" for me. I might have to try something different with this.

Update [11/22/2021]

Hey peeps!

I'm currently tweaking Chapters 1-7 of Master Arcanist. It should go up around Wednesday, along with chapter 8. Someone made a suggestion to improve the section, so I'm just going to try it out, and then put it out there (which is what I've been doing with the manuscript at this point).

Don't worry, though - I'm still working on the parts beyond the fenrsi wolf's lair, an...

Energy has been low lately... I hope I'm not getting sick.

More Evianna Artwork!

So, a few people contacted me online about doing artwork. This is a friend on FB who wanted to do Evianna! She even included the arcanist mark in the first sketch.

As I said in the CYOA post, this coming week is going to be VERY busy. While I'm going to be writing, my posts will probably slow down because of the holidays. But don't worry! I'll be getting everything done. I'm super excited...

Cover for Frith Chronicles Sequel Series (Author Secret #7)

So, whenever I have cover art made, I contact my artist buddy (Darko - he lives in Serbia) and ask him for something.

He usually gives me a few mock-ups or examples (the two posted here are the examples) and then I tell him what needs to be changed or altered, and then he sends me the final copy. 

This time I told him I wanted a knightmare on the cover, and he gave me two versi...

You accept the bond.

A feeling of power floods you. And then it vanishes as quickly as it came. Your forehead burns as the arcanist mark permanently embeds itself into your skin. Unlike most arcanists, who have a seven-pointed star of magic and an image of their eldrin, you only have a star. A blank star.
