CD & EA 1.9 - The Hard Way

Let me know what you think! Hope your week is going well so far :)

-Plum


Vikker drove the van on a long, meandering route around the city's outskirts, past the abandoned, burned-out sections of town south and west of the still-thriving areas. Despite how Helios had built-up the city center over the last decades, many of ...

First real action - Let me know what you think :)

“We’ll drop you at the corner, and you should just sort of wander your way closer to the camera. Just act like you’re lost or waiting for a ride and amble along. I think that’ll arouse less suspicion than you trying to race over while the camera’s angled a...

CD & EA 1.7 - The Team

Another day, another chapter. Thanks a lot for the feedback on the earlier chapters, everyone. I appreciate it! I hope you're enjoying the story :)

“Sit down,” Vikker said, pointing to the side of the booth across from him. Juliet glanced to her right, taking a quick glance at the other two occupants—a muscul...

Victor 3.25 - Reconnaissance

Hey all! Hope you're all having a great weekend. Here's the next installment for Victor. As always, I look forward to your feedback. I have one specific question here: Do you guys remember Sarl? When I mention him in this chapter, does it bring back your memories? I'd nearly forgotten about the guy, myself.

Also, If you have time and are interested in...

CD & EA 1.6 - Thicker than Water

Hi! As I said on chapter 4 - Please let me know what you think. What do you like or dislike, etc.? If you don't feel like providing feedback, don't worry - I don't expect you all to become beta readers! If all you do is read this and enjoy it, then that's cool :)

CD & EA 1.4 - Operator

Hey all - so I've been writing my a$$ off for the last few days because I want to push four chapters of this new story to RR on Friday. That said, I've got three, kinda rough chapters to share with you all today, and I would love any feedback you want to give me. Is it still interesting? Does anything seem stupid? Are my mentions of tech too hand-wavey? Is Juliet likable? Anything e...

Victor 3.24 - Yund

What do you think? Is it satisfying? Boring? I'm trying to demonstrate Victor gaining more and more control of himself as he advances his various affinities. Open to suggestions or just your opinions.

See you tomorrow :)

CD & EA 1.3 - Baseline

Hey all. Here's chapter three. The table came through on Patreon's cruddy text editor looking terrible. I hope you can make sense of it. If you're enjoying the story, even if you don't really read on RR, I'd appreciate a follow and a rating for the story over there. It will help me get this new one noticed. Thanks!

CD & EA 1.2 - Home

Here's chapter 2 - hot off the presses. I'm going to be trying to hit 3-5k words a day for a while, so I can try to build up some Patreon backlog and also keep up with VoT. At least as long as I'm not hating it (gotta have fun with this, right?)

Let me know if you have any thoughts!

Victor 3.22 - Night Conversations

Hey all - It feels like I'm hardly posting here now that I'm pausing FWFW. I want you to know I'm not just sitting by the pool, though. I have big plans for November - lots of content coming out, and you'll all be the first to see it. Thanks for your support!

We're on our way to Persi Gables - Let me know what you think!

Victor 3.21 - A Fond Farewell

Here's your next installment :)

When Victor saw Captain Valla leaning against her mount a few dozen steps away from the backside of the longhouse, he had to stop and do a double-take. “Thayla, you weren’t fucking around—she really has a saddle on that tiger!”

“Tiger?”

“That big fucking cat...

FWFW print on demand & and a plea for reviews! :)

Hey everyone! If you're a fan of Falling with Folded Wings, I just wanted to let you all know that the print-on-demand is live at Amazon. Because of that, people who've read the book are allowed to review it now. I think this is the direct link:

Victor 3.20 - A Dangerous Affinity

Hey all! Please see my note at the end - trying to avoid spoilers :)

When Victor rode into the Shadeni winter camp, he was greeted by the watching hunters, and before he could get Thistle brushed down and fed, Thayla, Deyni, and Chandri found him, smothering him with hugs and questions. “What happened to your fac...

Victor tried to saddle Thistle without bothering anyone, but Norl came out of his front door, sipping a steaming mug, and said, “Leaving before dawn, hmm? The beds that bad?”

“No, your place is great, Norl. I’m just eager to be on my way back to Tellen’s...

Victor sat on the rough-spun rug in the middle of the room, looking at Teil’s naked back as she breathed the steady, slow breaths of deep sleep. They’d ended up throwing the blankets on the floor because the beds w...

FWFW Book 4 Poll

As I've said recently, I'll be taking a break from FWFW to focus on a couple of other writing projects, but I do have every intention of returning to this story. When I do come back to it, I'd like to focus on the POV and storyline that you, my patrons, have chosen.

That said, here are the five choices:

FWFW 3 - 84

As promised, here's the final chapter of FWFW book 3. Please let me know what you think. I'm particularly looking to hear about any big loose ends I left dangling. I know there are lots of little things that will (hopefully) come up as plot points in future books - things like the Yovashi texts, Ykleedra's brother, the twins, vario...

Hey all,

We're getting close to the end of FWFW 3. I have one more chapter to post tomorrow, and then I'll post a survey about what direction you'd all like me to take next (which POV I should focus on first.) That said, I probably won't start the next FWFW book for a little while - I'm going to focus on VOT for a while and plan out some chapters for ...

FWFW 3 - 82

By the time Olivia had made her way through the tunnels, up a damp, stone stairway, and out through a cluttered gardener’s shed, her fury had cooled substantially. She was still reeling, if she were being honest, about all that had occurred. It wasn’t just the fact that she’d killed two people, but that something had been changed within her, something central to the kind of person she was...

Bronwyn watched as the Urghat filed into the enormous well cavern. She wasn’t sure why they called it a well—the pool at the center was filled with something, but it wasn’t water, more like a viscous gel that seemed to absorb Energy from anyone who touched it.

Whitestar and her “elders,” the older, more respected Urghat who’d joined her clan, stood arrayed, wearing ceremonial ...

“. . . can’t get this thing open. Careful with his back!” Morgan heard the voice, sort of like it was echoing down to him from the top of a well while he lay at the bottom. He blinked his eyes rapidly, and, looking through his magical helmet’s visor, he saw dirt and jagged little rocks—he was face-down. He tried to speak but barely managed to inhale enough to keep himself conscious. H...

Victor sat near the coals of the fire that Gef had used to cook a stew for the three of them. Victor had savored the roots and small-game meat, seasoned in a way that he could appreciate more now that he had a bit of cooking skill himself. Gef, on the other han...

Morgan circled the downed ship, watching the flurry of activity on the deck from hundreds of meters above. He could see the bright, blue, and red flickering Energy aura of Tanna ap’Cilla, overshadowing the much dimmer auras of the rest of the crew and the captives they held before them. He counted thirty visible crew members, each with a human, collared and on their knees before them. Tanna s...

“I can still feel them, though,” Morgan said to Maria. “They’re only around fifty miles from here to the east. I’m going.” The militia had shown him to the clinic and into Maria’s room. She was still bedridden, unable to move her legs—the colony’s best healers had been taken on the airship, and the ones still in town weren’t capable of mending her spine. She had high hopes f...

Olivia took several breaths to steady herself—what she’d just gone through shouldn’t have been possible. Not according to everything she’d learned in her Spellcrafting or Artificing classes. A Yovashi text had just interfaced with her . . . brain? No, more than that, with her Core as well. Not only had it interfaced with her, but it had altered some fundamental aspects of her nature.
