Book 2 Poll
Hello everyone!
This has been a crazy year for me in terms of my personal life. Sickness, death, and change, more than I'm really willing to put out there on the internet and probably more than most of you care to hear.
This post is meant for those that are interested in the future of ‘The Stained Tower’ novel.
Book 1:
I brought this up once before, but the version of Book 1 up on Royal Road is the draft version. For around a year now, I've been making updates and changes to the master copy of Book 1 in between working on new material. I'm not quite sure how much longer it'll be until Version 1.0 of the book is available, but I hope it's not much longer.
With that in mind, the version of Book 1 up on Royal Road right now is set to be removed in around three weeks’ time (4/18/22) in preparation for publishing the updated and edited version. This is necessary for the medium in which I plan to publish (Kindle). I hope everyone can
Book 2:
The draft version of Book 2 is now complete! It'll be getting its editing time in the future, but it hasn't begun yet. In all likelihood, it'll see more edits than Book 1 just because I think it needs more work in places than Book 1 did. Book 2 will remain up on Royal Road for now.
Like after the completion of Book 1, I have a poll that I'd really appreciate if some of you could take the time to fill out. It's much the same as the one for Book 1 and is totally anonymous. Thank you to anyone who takes the time.
Book 2 Poll
Book 3 & Patreon:
I've been posting Book 3 on Patreon for a little while now; however, all the craziness this year and a little iffiness on the direction of some of the earlier chapters in Book 3 has made it less frequent. That being said, I plan to keep posting chapters to Patreon, although the pace of updates will remain slower until my routine finds some real stability.

As for Royal Road, I'm not sure when I'll begin posting Book 3 chapters here. First things first, I intend to complete Book 1 to fullness, and I'm also concerned about what I can expect from readers when Book 1 isn't available here or anywhere convenient. In all frankness, it's likely better to wait until Book 1 is published before posting Book 3 purely because there wouldn't be a way for new readers to access Book 1 during that time.
I want to thank everyone for reading, and a huge thanks to anyone who has supported me via Patreon. I hope you’ve all enjoyed Book 1 & Book 2 and look forward to things and stories to come.

The Lurking Lair - An Adventurer Series Short Story
Charlie had never felt comfortable in their own skin. Enduring the taunts and teasing that echoed from their youth had become all too commonplace. Most adults don't think twice about staring at someone who looks different. They may not speak the insults, but they are felt just the same. This book is a prequel to Adventurer, it is independent and stand alone, but it does contain spoilers that will give away world elements of that work. Spoiler: Nextlife offered the ultimate solution to Charlie's problems. Not only were they able to participate in the development of whole new worlds, they could find the perfect one. A world where Charlie could become the ultimate expression of their desires, dreams, and aspirations. After all, a dungeon isn't confined by the constraints of human interpretation. Join Charlie as they dive headfirst into the world of Elysium! Authors Note: I understand that gender discussions are not for everyone. If gender fluid concerns are an issue for you please consider not reading this story as it may upset you. If you can withhold your judgement, it is not a heavy topic of the narrative, but it is the MC's motivation to become what they become. I hope that this note helps folks.
8 149Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
8 90Cascadia
Corvayne, a warrior exiled from his desert village, ends up in the backwater colony city Cascadia. He meets a strange girl, jumps through a portal to another world, and starts a journey to protect her and discover the secrets and treasures waiting in the mysterious rifts they call 'Towers'. Follow Corvayne as he fights throngs of monsters and explores totally-not-Seattle with Wick, his foul mouthed girlfriend. Along the way Corvayne will accumulate a rotating party of friends and misfits, journey into through dungeons full of dangers and loot, and learn to use a bevy of strange powers as he faces threats inside the mysterious 'Towers' and through the city of Cascadia, which hosts secrets of it's own, all while trying to unravel his tangled past. Updates: Mondays + Whenever I feel like it. ****************** This story features: -A cast who are mostly good friends and mostly good people, despite exploring weird and dangerous worlds. -A mix of dungeons, dragons, and exploring the pine scented city of Cascadia. -Very light LitRPG elements that slowly seep into the story. Learning the system is a challenge that takes the characters a long time. -A strange universe with a mix of both standard magic and powers that twist reality itself. Some wizards know how to cast fireball, but a few can curse someone to be lost for eons. -No explicit sex scenes. Warning is for implied sex scenes and some nudity. -Lots of blood, mostly monster blood. -A long planned story and long character arcs. I have the ending in mind as I write. -Single character PoV, with plans to add bonus chapters for other characters. [A winner of the Royal Road Writathon challenge.]
