“We should surrender at once, and end this,” Sister Agata fretted.
“That would be suicidal, at this point.” Feinhardt glared at her. “It’s a riot of looters down there, and about to be a war zone when the other factions get here.”
“We will not surrender,” the Prince shouted down. “This is our rightful land, our city, and our island. I will not give it up to any foreign force, not again. Continue reading
“They promised if I told you everything they wouldn’t let the Wreck drag me down to the depths.” The sailor nodded toward the Professor. “Gods know how you heathens summoned it up, or what you sacrificed to do it, but I‘ll do anything if you just keep me safe from its cold clutches.” Continue reading
Here is a gallery of originals available to Kickstarter backers who pledged at a high enough level. I’ll be writing to each of you individually to see which one you would like.

Jon watched the others climb ropes up onto the ship. He watched Tam particularly, and so he saw at once when Tam lurched and began to slide back down the rope with an exclamation. Jon helped him catch his balance as he landed awkwardly back in the boat with rope-burned hands. Continue reading
“What are you doing?” Feinhardt demanded, striding up the lane toward them, flanked by the other teachers.
“I am taking command of and responsibility for my people,” the Prince answered. Continue reading
Here’s the art for the cover of The Germhacht episode! I’m meeting with my editor and layout team tomorrow and I should have word soon on a publishing date. I’ll be making a gallery of originals for my kickstarter backers to choose from soon.
There’s no new chapter half yet, as you will have noticed. I appear to have the cold that never ends. However, as from here through halfway through December I have no more conventions to attend, trains to catch or airports to sleep in, my health will probably improve. I’ll be sleeping regularly again, which will no doubt help things. In related news, thanks to everybody who stopped by my table at AnimeUSA! It was lovely to meet you.
We’re approaching the end of the Tembeleka Voyage, and I want to make sure I get it all right, without rushing things and spoiling them. I hope to have an update for you later in the week. Maybe I can arrange a happy Thanksgiving surprise.
Sorry to make you all wait. I hope I can make it all worth it when it comes.
The Germhacht episode is now fully edited and good to go to the layout guy. Two weeks after that it should head to the printers! Thank you so so much to everyone who backed the project! I hope to get rewards in the works as fast as I can.
The Blegh news is that I came down really sick upon returning from Youmacon and instead of getting better over the last few days, I’ve gotten worse. I am a bleary cold-medicated mess incapable of driving, picking out groceries or typing sentences out correctly without a lot of work. There will not be a chapter installment tomorrow, because in my state, what I am producing could make you feel as disoriented and confused as I am.
I wish I had the Blackfeather family disease resistance about now. Blurgh.
Thanks to some truly amazing generosity, Book 2, The Germhacht Episode, is officially going to print! There are still two days left on the kickstarter, and extra funds put into that are far from meaningless. Should the miraculous double funding occur, there shall be audiobooks, and even if that goal doesn’t remotely occur, having the funds for shipping rewards to backers, covering proof correction fees and shipping costs on getting the books in is really great.
Thank you so much to everybody who has helped make this possible! I am more grateful than I can express to all of you. Look for updates on incoming rewards in the next two weeks. PDFs and info on available originals should be coming out as soon as I’ve recovered from glee and having just driven home 17 hours from Detroit back to Oklahoma. For now, enjoy this weeks chapter, posted below!
The sky was still turbulent with clouds as the handful of little boats sped along silently over dark water. Jon peered out ahead, wishing he could see with Tam or Kalani’s extra sight. The Professor was still out there, somewhere, always ahead of them. Continue reading
I have just seven days left to raise what I need to print Book Two, The Germhacht Episode, in paperback, and right now we’re still a long way from our goal. If you love last minute rescues and pulse pounding finales, this is looking to be one. If you like the stories and have even $5 and an Amazon account (free to get one!) please consider donating. There are lots of nifty extras. Also, I posted the Blooper Reel from the kickstarter video shoot under backer updates, so go check that out! Here’s the Kickstater page. The way kickstarter works is, if the funding goal is not met, no payments go through. It’s an all or nothing proposal, and all the money, if raised will be used to cover the kickstarter and amazon fees (approx. 10% of the funding total) and the cost of the print run (the other 90%).
To make things more fun, I’m also posting extras and taking questions about characters, stories and process over on my tumblr page for the whole week.
I want to keep the stories coming, and keep them free. Now is a great time to help me make that possible, and also the only way yet to get your hands on a paperback of The Germhacht Episode.
Please consider becoming a backer!
