Andy rubbed the raw, sore spot at the center of his stomach, amazed as usual by how well Bea’s magical healing worked. As he sat up, a little woozy, but feeling much better, it occurred to him that the System hadn’t sent him any messages—no levels gained, no quest updates, n...

Andy crouched behind the same boulder again, hiding from the swarm of rats and rat-people below. The gigantic rat was still sleeping, and he had the crazy notion that maybe he ought to try to sneak up to it and score a critical stab. The only problem was the...

Victor Book 11 Art... Enjoy!

Wanted to share the latest art with you folks! BTW, looking for ideas for the Book 12 art. I'm not 100% sure I want to call it "Veil Walker," but I think it fits pretty well and will make a solid capstone to the series. Let me know what you think in the comments.

I'm not a big fan of this one, mostly because I get so bogged down in the "business of the settlement" that by the time things start to get good, I'm out of space. I think I might transition to 3k-word chapters for this story soon, but I need to think about it.

Anyway, see you Wed with th...

Vainglory 2 Audible Version -- Audio Problems and Resolution

Hey everyone,

A frustrating turn of events has led to people who bought the VG 2 Audible having a bad version of the audio. You'll notice "bad editing" in that there are cut-offs between one recording and another, and then large sections of at least one chapter that are missing. This has been fixed as of day 2 of release, but I think it affected a lot of people on those early downloads. View Post

Neon Dust readers - Friday's chapter is delayed! :(

Hey everyone! I'm really sorry to do this, but I need some extra time for family on Friday, which means I won't be able to finish your entire chapter. I'm going to TRY to get two chapters done on Saturday for you, but if I don't, please forgive me for the day off!
