Hope you all enjoy the holidays! Long chapter so I hope you enjoy it. I'll be back Tuesday the 30th with the next one. Merry Christmas!
“I think we’ve found our missing explorers,” Dylan said grimly. “That’s a big pile of bones.”
The mound sprawled at the far edge of the chamber, heaped in a careless hill that reached higher than Bud’s...
2025-12-22 02:54:28 +0000 UTC View PostQuick announcement before Christmas, I will be taking a break next week so don't expect a chapter Tuesday 23 and Saturday 27. Just wanted to give you a heads up. Hope you like the chapter!
The statue was carved from cracked grey stone, its surface veined with age and stress fractures that ran across its body like frozen lightning, emanating from the stone sword that had ...

It was the afternoon of the second day when they finally emerged from the mountain chasm into the island’s heart. Hump stepped out into a vast, open plain—a hollow basin encircled by jagged peaks that stretched continuously around them. They loomed like ancient monoliths, cutting them off from the rest of the world.
The ground beneath ...
2025-12-14 03:04:57 +0000 UTC View PostThat's half a thousand chapters! Thanks for sticking with it for so long :)
Hump drew upon his essence sending tendrils of fiery bronze into the ground at his feet, reaching deep into the island. The power in this place didn’t respond as normal—barren and desolate—but he made it work, forcing his will into motion. Melting stone into lava. Willing heat to rise from t...
2025-12-10 02:51:55 +0000 UTC View PostThis one took ages! I think it's still a little rough so I'll probably do another edit of it tomorrow but I think it's mostly there. If you want the more polished version, check back tomorrow night or monday once I've had a chance to go over it with fresh eyes.
Hump had always considered dungeons the pinnacle of essence density—pockets of the world where it poole...
2025-12-07 00:40:21 +0000 UTC View PostCan't believe it's almost chapter 500... really hit me typing out today's title lol.
Edit - Annnnd I realised I'd misnumbered chapters before this. I thought it was 497 but its 498.
Turned out, one thing was missing from Gius’ description of the Trial of Persistence—the god had failed to mention that when the zombie thing was attacked, it didn...
2025-12-03 03:03:27 +0000 UTC View PostSorry this one was late. Caught a cold travelling, and combined with jetlag it just made this chapter really tough.
Small editing note - I've not mentioned Dylan's spirit companion since chapter 51 of Book 6. I added a few references to it in the edit for Book 6, and will need to include a few more in this book so far. But when Shimmer shows up, that's what it is...

Hey everyone. The Hedge Wizard 6 is out on Amazon today on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and in paperback. As you can no doubt see, Hump's had a bit of a glow up this cover! I think this is my favourite so far.
If you can spare a few minutes to leave an honest review of the book, it would be very appreciated. There are delays with rankings and ratings recently so it will be particularly helpf...
2025-11-26 16:35:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. Book 6 of Hedge Wizard is out on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited today (Comes out Wednesday so for those where it's not yet midnight it may still be a little longer). There's been some major issues with new releases getting delayed ratings and rankings on launch in the last couple of weeks, so if you have a spare minute to leave an honest review it would be very appreciated. Will ...
2025-11-26 04:15:29 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay. Was my birthday yesterday and I forgot to announce a delay before I was out of internet range.
Everything was going to plan. Captain Hadbur’s ship had been stocked with all they would need. Acalin had recruited a number of pathfinders to their cause. High Priest Jerard had even arranged for a few Holy Ones, including Runesmith Tatsi, to acco...

While Runesmith Tatsi completed the configuration of Dylan’s new arm, Hump decided it was time to move on to his true purpose in accompanying the druid. Moral support was all well and good, but what he wanted was the good stuff.
Magical artifacts.
And this workshop was full of them.
One of the runesmith assistants helped Hump...
2025-11-18 15:22:21 +0000 UTC View PostQuick announcement. I'm going on holiday from tomorrow to the 27th but intending to keep up with my release schedule. Got a long flight so hopefully I'll make the Tuesday release date but just wanted to give you a heads up in case I don't make it.

The night at had already begun to settle in as Hump took a break outside their accommodation, staring out across the many islands to the north of Urandel. Celaine had already gone to bed, so he sat alone and watched Nisha as she soared through the sky, cheering her on. He’d been training, but now his mind was elsewhere. He didn’t know what t...
2025-11-12 04:13:08 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the delay. Someone reversed into my car while it was parked... Dealing with insurance completely killed my creativity.
The world returned in a rush as Loften’s hold over Hump’s soul vanished. His senses snapped back to the Forgeheart—the grand inner sanctum of the temple—and for a moment, he had to steady himself. Something fundamental had changed...
2025-11-10 03:18:29 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a fun one. Been looking forward to this scene for a while.
The chamber turned to silence, stunned faces staring at Loften and the First Herald. Hump wasn’t so surprised. He’d seen an opportunity to gage what lay behind the Maker’s Mark, and the possibility that it awoke Loften had crossed his mind. He hadn’t expected the god to appear himself, however. 2025-11-05 04:04:34 +0000 UTC View Post
Hope you like the chapter!
Hump listened to the High Priest and the Herald’s of Iron speak, and he kept his mouth shut. They had so many plans for how things would go. So many ideas on how their holy quest would move forward. There would be a festival held in their honour—the Maker’s heroes, here to free their master so that he could reforge the world.
It was ...
2025-11-02 04:49:10 +0000 UTC View PostHope you like the chapter! Also Book 2 of Der Heckenmagier came out today for germans. Got hit with an early 2 star if anyone with a german amazon account could bolster the ranks a little with a rating/review.
The carriage came to a halt before the temle steps. Hump and the others stiffened. “What do you mean the world is collapsing?”

The Crown of the Winds came to a complete halt as the tower bridge locked into place, providing them a path to the dock. With their illusions dispelled, and Prince Marcoff’s soldiers called off, Hump could now focus on just how many eyes were on them. The sea of onlookers pressed against the balcony rails and stairways, the...
2025-10-27 03:06:07 +0000 UTC View PostSmall announcement incase anyone is interested. The hardback edition for HW1 is now available on amazon. Other than that, hope you like the chapter!
Silence gripped the skyport following the words of Prince Marcoff. His demand lingered in the air, heavy with the weight of his intent. It sounded like an innocent enough request to speak, though there was something about him...
2025-10-22 03:07:23 +0000 UTC View PostSorry I've been inactive in comments. I've been reading them and know there's some editing that needs addressing and I'll get round to it shortly. Just had family visiting for a week so keeping ontop of releases is about the most I could manage. Hope you like the chapter!

2025-10-19 02:40:27 +0000 UTC View PostAll caught up. Thanks for the patience last week.
The monsters fell like rain around Hump, their cries lost in the howling storm. With their formation broken and momentum shattered by his spell, they became little more than flailing targets. Celaine killed many of them, her arrows of shadows streaking through the shadow of the storm, dozens of them at a time. Nishari fle...
2025-10-15 01:03:57 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for waiting. I'm optimistic that I'll be caught up by Tuesday so expect the next chapter then.
The five of them stepped out onto the deck following dinner with the captain and his guests. The night sky was clear, the two moons luminous overhead, stars faintly visible behind their light.
“I didn’t like that priest,” Bud said. “He wouldn’t list...
2025-10-13 01:39:07 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for the feedback on the last chapter. Makes things so much easier for me getting a general consensus like that, and is just useful for me to think on for the future. Today's chapter is still not quite where I'd like it but I didn't want to keep you waiting another day. I will probably come back to edit this once I'm on top of my release schedule again and finalised Book 6, but if...
2025-10-10 02:13:13 +0000 UTC View PostQuick question about Book 7 so far: How is the pacing feeling? I got to the end of this chapter and wondered if I've been moving things along too slowly. Just been enjoying some chill sections after so much action myself but I may be overindulging.
They didn’t spend long on the Sky Isles. As promised, Acalin organised transport by the following morning, leaving t...
2025-10-05 01:35:27 +0000 UTC View PostHey! The German translation of Hedge Wizard 1 launches today. My fiancee and her family are German so I've been quite excited about having this. Other than them, I don't have any reach to that audience so if you are a german reader any ratings/reviews would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Hump had spent much of the week it had taken to reach the Sky Isles bent over his spellbook, searching for and experimenting with a handful of spells he thought would prove useful in the days ahead. Embrace of the Wind and the rest of the spell tree had been an obvious choice when they were so often a bad choice away to falling t...
2025-09-28 01:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. I have noted and will make some changes to the last two chapters to give Nisha a role. Completely agree that she was missing from those scenes. I was meaning to get to it sooner but I'm currently working through the edits for Book 6 too so it's been a bit manic staying on top of B7 at the same time and I haven't been able to get back yet. Will probably do so this week. 2025-09-24 02:26:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Hope you like the chapter.
Hump’s laughter stopped when he saw the way Acalin was looking at him, trying to judge whether or not he was serious.
“This world?” the man finally said. “You are not from our world?
The question left Hump wondering how close to the chest they should play this out. Loften had instructed them to seek out his high priest...
2025-09-21 02:21:41 +0000 UTC View PostWas a bit pushed for time getting this one finished so I might need to add some polish tomorrow. It felt good when I wrote it though so I hope you like it.
The griffon closed the distance fast enough that Hump only just had the time to utter the words of his spell before it was upon them.
