AA 1.3 - Sheila

If you haven't noticed, these chapters are shorter than my other stories - average around 2k words rather than 3k.

Semi-customized? What the hell?” Was the System clowning on him? He read the part that really stuck out aloud, “Ignorance is best defeated by action.” He didn’t know if it was a personal message other tha...

Victor 10.32 - Pleasantries

Enjoy the chapter! Sorry if you find the prose isn't great - I've had a stressful day dealing with insurance companies and contractors, constantly getting interrupted. Can't people understand that I'm just a recluse who wants to be left alone to write??? :)

Thanks, folks, for your kind support,

Victor Book Seven, Earthshaker, Is LIVE!

Hey folks! It's that time again - another Victor of Tucson release! I hope you'll all give it a try (if you're not already a Victor reader) and if you've already read it, maybe check out the Audible version - Robb is amazing in this one. By the way, if you've been on the fence about trying it, Book One - Pit Fighter - is now part of the Audible Plus catalog, so free to listen (if you have Audib...

Heads-up Victor of Tucson Readers!

I'm really sorry to make a bad-news announcement, but I need to take the day off tomorrow. I know you all are eagerly awaiting Victor's confrontation with a certain undead, skull-faced jerk, but it'll have to happen on Thursday. I'll try to make the chapter nice and satisfying.

Hate to do this, but I write every day and I've just got a bunch of appointments tomorrow and I didn't want to t...

A Poll about a new MC's name:

Hi folks! Recently I posted a little poll on my Discord but only got a dozen or so responses. I figured I'll try here, and open it to everyone to get the most feedback possible. I'm planning my next project... Well, if I'm honest, I've been writing my next project in my "free" time. It's still early days and I won't talk about it much here, 'cause I'm just not ready to yet.

Anyway, the MC...

Obviously, this is still Ward's story; he's still the main MC, but I hope we've all come to like Haley enough that we can read a chapter from her...
