Hey peeps!
Here is artwork for a fully grown typhoon dragon! Hopefully you all enjoy. Same artist as most of the other art (he's super cool, and super fast, so it has been a pleasure working with him).
Abyssal Arcanist is well underway. Thank you to everyone who volunteered their name to be used for a villain! Look out for bad guys with your names, LOL

Hey peeps!
Exciting day <3
Mimic Arcanist just officially hit the shelf. If you have time, please consider leaving a review! Every little bit helps the release (and Amazon algorithms).
And look at the hard covers! The inverted colors under the dust jacket are so cool. ;-;
I'm so happy with how they turned out. Everyone in the hard cover tier will be getting thei...

Hey peeps!
Here is the start to book 3. Obviously, Mimic Arcanist hasn't hit the shelves YET, but some of you should have received your signed copies by now.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy! This novel gets to have a lot of fun moments I've been outlining for a while. o.o

Here is the cover for the third book in the Astra Academy series. If you've finished reading Mimic Arcanist (all the chapters are on Patreon!) you'll probably see where this is going! o.o
ALSO, there is an enemy in the book that doesn't yet have a name. I try to fill in names of random people in the background with names off my Patreon list, but I tend to avoid having ene...

One time, in high school, a girl asked me, “Are those the same jeans you wore yesterday?” and I didn’t know what to say.
Technically, they had been the same jeans I wore all week, but people rarely noticed me, much less spoke to me. What was I supposed to say to her? Yes, they were? Then she would ask me why I was still wearing them, instead of wearing something new, and then I woul...

Hey peeps!
I wanted to get multiple short stories done this month, but time tables caught up with me. I should have more for next month, though >.>
And more voice acting!
Here is a short story that basically imagines "what if Karna and Volke were a couple?" These are scenes from Grandmaster, but let me know if you like them. I can always write more!

So, as some of you might be aware, I did a G-word (I can't actually say it, because Patreon gets mad). I had a full set of hard cover books, and everyone here had a chance to W-word (again, can't say it, but it rhymes with bin). There were tons of ways to enter, and I used a random number generator to pick the lucky individual.
