Okay, so Dancing in Autumn’s Rain‘s cover is finally done! I’m kinda waiting for the 3 month window when I can set a release date in Amazon to show anything more off, but it looks great. 🙂 I’m back to writing Book 5 (Rifled at the Scaled Tower) now. Every time I take one of these long breaks, I kinda expect all my writing skills to just have dribbled away from the time playing video games and being a log, but nope, there they are, ready and willing. I don’t want to overpromise, but I’m excited 🙂 Chidozie Nwobilor I just looked at the AI options and, uh, wow. Very generic and the image it wanted to generate for me made it autumn for some reason. I’ll stick with a blank page for now.

Progress Report: Dancing in Autumn's Rain
Finished marking up the text last week and I’m implementing them now. I’ve reached out to Wall of Pyramids book cover artist to see if she can fit me in, but I’m feeling good about this release. I’m also itching to write, so I might take a nibble at the 3rd quarter of Rifled at the Scaled Tower while I’m at it…

Book 5 is halfway done
So I’m taking another break. I’m going to work on getting Dancing in Autumn’s Rain published (which means book cover, final pass, etc) and also work on a couple of side projects that writing doesn’t let me have much time for like the Fabula Ultima Campaign Manager I’ve been working on. I’m hoping to have the next chapter up around July. Thanks for reading. 🙂 #Writing #HowToMakeAWand…

Behind Dwayne, the Club erupted in protests. “Of course, he does!” “Who the hell are you?” “Let me go!” Torben tried to free himself from Keith and Chloe’s grasp. “I’ll show him worthy.” Read more: Chapter 16: Qeceteranutbuke, Stilled Waters That was heartening. “No, stay back,” said Dwayne. “I’ll handle this.” Magdala caught his hand. “You don’t have to.” “Just like you didn’t have to…

Passing a group of anxious Gray Tower functionaries clustered around Dame Sercombe, a pale girl with thick blond curls and a student’s bag slung over her shoulder sat down on a bench and smoothed the skirt of her ash gray dress, which she wore under a white pinafore, and slightly too long green cloak. Once settled, she looked up and watched an unusual vessel arrive at the docks. Unlike the Brad’s…

Chapter 14: Focesalebeinaem, Amputate

A clear night settled on Bradford, and, since the balls and trades and magical demonstrations were all finished and done with, it was a quiet one. Already, the season’s maroons, blacks and golds had withdrawn into warm dens and living rooms, carrying with them laughter, stories, and good conversation. Now only the depraved and the criminal walked the city’s dark streets or, more accurately,…

On the carriage ride back to Sanford with Dwayne, Mei’s thoughts returned to what she’d been doing since last night: figuring out what to do about Huan. While it was clear that his time spent on the run hadn’t been good for him, and that the beast’s paranoia was getting stronger and stronger, what wasn’t clear was whether or not she could do anything about it aside from verifying his nonsensical…

Game Dev update
Hobsphere (used to be Fabula Ultima Campaign Manager) I implemented unit tests in gitlab, which took as much time as I thought it would because of the new system. I have a couple of releases up, mainly to see if I could do it, but I’m planning on having people I know personally play around with it first then let random people play around with it. Not sure how many people that’ll be, but I’d like…

Early the next morning, Magdala ran through the misty woods up the rarely trodden path to the Duelist’s College. By now, any preconceptions that she was physically fit had been left gasping in the mud. She hated every part of this, from the way each breath tore at her chest to how every step was a short brief contest between her will to keep going and the ground’s welcome. However, the worst part…

By the time she’d eaten her second plate of food, Mei’s fury had ebbed, leaving behind her refusal to let the Empire take Huan. Unfortunately, that was no match for the Magisterium’s determination not to allow anyone other than staff or faculty anywhere near its docks. Even Mei had made it clear that she was acting on behalf of the Royal Sorcerer’s Office, the clerk hadn’t even given Mei the…

“Any idea what this is about?” “No,” Dwayne covered a yawn with his hand, “no idea.” “Ah. So,” Lady Pol nodded at the back of the servant slowly leading her and Dwayne to the Privy Council Chamber, “Her Majesty isn’t in the habit of sending for you?” Read more: Chapter 10: Fo-Heng-Xeaobu-Xia-Kater, Make Eyes Sad “No.” Lady Pol lowered her voice. “This is definitely about last night, isn’t…

New Chapters incoming!
Happy New Year! I’ve started the year with a kitchen renovation, which I do not recommend. I’ve started daydreaming about making my own scrambled eggs, an odd experience. The next chapter of Rifled at The Scaled Tower is coming out today and I’ll do my best to keep ’em coming. As always, thanks for reading!

just kinda blow up on you? I just spent two days on a scene that I expected to be ~1500 words but instead it turned out double that. Luckily the next scene in the outline doesn’t need to happen, but I was really hoping I wasn’t going to end up doing a lot of cutting this time. In other words, writing on part two of Rifled at the Scaled Tower is going swimmingly #Writing #WhyIsThisSceneSoLong

Game Dev Update
For the Fabula Ultima GM Tool, I’ve implemented a new dialog for creating NPCs so you don’t have to use the data entry tool anymore (I should update the README). I also fixed some bugs with the dialog I used to add npcs to encounters. In other news, my spouse and I beat Orin in Baldur’s Gate 3. Honestly was a little bit of a let down as her grandfather was the hard part and we spent more time…
