《The Butcher of Gadobhra》Announcement about the Future of my Stories. (Non-Story)
Advertisement
Neither of my stories is ending. Let's say that right at the start. I have a lot of stories left to tell about Milo and Ozzy and places to take them.
But, I have some exciting news! My books are going to be published by Aethon Books, who work with the authors of great books like Vanqueur the Dragon, Primal Hunter, He Who Fights Monsters, and Defiance of the Fall. They will be putting my books out on Kindle, KU, and Audiobook.
To be honest, I was amazed when I had 50 followers on my story on Royal Road. And then more astounded when more people started reading. Publishing seemed pretty far away, and I had no clue about how to move in that direction. Working with a publisher makes things a lot easier and, very importantly, won't interfere much with my ongoing writing. I'll keep the chapters coming while I edit. In the next couple of months, I'll be doing something I always wanted to do, which is go back and edit the first parts of the books. I had no idea what I was doing when I started Butcher of Gadobhra, and only a little more when I started Tunnel Rat. This gives me the push to polish the stories. I'm already working on Tunnel Rat and slowly putting the edited chapters up. (Writathon means write fast, and I have so many typos in the early chapters.)
How does this affect the ongoing stories? Not at all. I'm going to keep writing new chapters. If anything, this pushes me to do more writing, and I can justify taking more afternoons off from my job. I have some good people at my shops who can pick up the slack for me and give me more hours to write. The biggest change will be that eventually I will have to remove my early chapters from free sites like Royal Road, leaving the introduction and the first chapters as a stub. When the first book is published, I'll remove the first 60 or so chapters. When the second book in each series comes out 6-12 months later, the next 60. I've contracted for 3 books from each series. By the time those come out, I'll have written the equivalent of 2 more books for each series.

I have no idea where either stories end. I have a lot left to write. Both stories have small arcs ending and big arcs beginning.
If you haven't read both stories or you want to re-read them, now is the time. You have at least a couple of months and I will give updates as I know more. I have to do a lot of editing before anything happens, and then do another run through before I even hand the books to Aethon and their editors look them over.
Thank you for Reading. We're only getting started.

Digital Demons
Dispite how it sounds, activating the device that melted her brain was probably the best thing that ever happened to Blade, a former member of the slum districts. Though the process was extreme, instead of endless nothing or eternal suffering our heroine finds that her death was just a nessisary part of the digitization of her brain. Now she has joined the millions of rich and powerful who gave up their lives for a second chance in the fully imersive game world of Templa. Not one to be detered by a challange (or her death), Blade chooses to start in the unforgiving Demon Lands. This is known to be the hardest starting zone in all of Templa, but those who make it through are some of the best players in the game. Does Blade have what it takes? Chapters are always 2000+ words with no relese schedual at the moment. Thanks for reading! -------------------------------------------------- Droped due to poor quality.

Children of the Halo
A thousand years have passed since the signing of the Pact: an historic agreement between the nations of the Pactlands to work for the betterment of the whole. But in recent years, the Empire of Vector has been growing more bold, submitting a claim for the long-contested Disputed Lands. When a young and inexperienced noblewoman ventures into the anarchic territories the residents call the Free Lands in an effort to discover what Vector is plotting, the last thing she expected to find was a City of Wonders. On a fateful summer morning, the Vancouver Island town of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada finds itself and its very residents thrust sideways from the world they know to the medieval Pactlands: a world ruled by a shadowy council of mages and governed by the laws of steel and influence. Cut off from their own world, the residents of this small cottage town are thrust knee-deep into the political, humanitarian and martial turmoil suffered by the residents of the Free Lands. Staring down the threat of the Vectoran claimant force, the hidden machinations of the High Magus Council, and desperately seeking the allies and resources they need to maintain their way of life, the residents of Ladysmith must use everything they have at their disposal to survive and claim their own place in a world they were not born to. Magic, intrigue and eight thousand Canadians. What could go wrong? Updates every Tuesday and Thursday.

The Light in Death
Set in a modern city where Jesse Gil narrates his experience running a business capitalizing on his ability to heal any affliction — even death. He's forced to take on a student, Shawn Ellison, a spoiled college dropout who awakens abilities of his own, to prevent him from accidentally killing himself. As a result, Jesse must become more than just a healer. He'll need to master his power over energy: the fuel for life, the soul, and magic.
