Coming soon Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations

Coming soon Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations + An Author Update

Hey, accomplices!

Big news! Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations has a release date! As long as nothing changes it should be the 27 of March! This one is a lot of fun and gets a little silly.

Now on to this month’s update.

I was watching a guy on youtube eat everything on the Outback Steakhouse menu when I said, “Oh shit, I didn’t do the update this month.”

So, yeah, here it is.

Aside from having a release date for book 6, I’ve started work on the last in the series. I have been torn on the title. I had wanted to call it Requiem but that seemed to be overdone. I mean, I think one of the Resident Evil movies was called that and I’m sure three other LitRPGs used it too. So I think I’m going with Repose. It’s not as catchy but still fits.

Expect to see new chapters of that hitting Patreon soon. I’ve also been working on my next series in the background so hopefully, I can get enough of a head start so I can get it out there without too much of a wait.

Anyway, here’s the stats on everything else.

Books:

Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations – It’s done! All editing is finished and Travis should be recording it this week. I have been told that it is scheduled for release on the 27 of March.

Necrotic Apocalypse 7: Repose – Work on the last one has begun. The outline is finished and it’s pretty epic. Expect to see new chapters hitting Patreon in a bit. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Pixel Dust 4: Carpe Diem – 70k words written (50%) New chapters are being posted to Patreon

Dusk 1: City of Shade and Spark – 33k. This is a new series in the process that I’m working on a bit and will be slowly releasing on Patreon for now. It’s about death! Fun! I’ve been working on this one while I waited on editing and it’s shaping up to be a meaningful story.

Untitled Fantasy Series – 4.5k First chapter down. That’s it. It’s a cute story with a new character that I’m excited to write. Will update more when it has a proper title.

Other things to know:

I’m working on a new website that will hopefully work better. If not I might scrap the whole thing and make a simple one instead. I wouldn’t be able to post these updates but they would still be available on my mailing list, so maybe sign up for that.

Necrotic Apocalypse hardcovers are still in formatting, so they will be available soon. I know I said this last time but they still are.

That’s it!

End of the Month Author Update – January

Hey, accomplices!

That’s one month down.

Can’t really believe how fast the year is going, but I’ve also been super busy. Sam and I are in the process of moving and the new place needs a lot of work before it’s habitable. (I have two toilets sitting in my living room right now.)

We’re also doing a lot to get ready to hit a few conventions this summer and there’s a lot of work going into getting ready. Gotta put together a booth and add some new merch. And look! There’s a new logo! I also have some secret stuff that I’m working on, so hopefully I’ll get to talk about that soon.

But that’s it for what’s happening with me.

Here’s the update.

Books:

Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations – The first draft is finished! The rough chapters are still being posted to Patreon. However, I’m still waiting on dev edits. I have received a portion of the edits but have another two-thirds to go. So far we’re still on schedule, but it’s cutting things close.

Cover art is finished.

Narration is still scheduled for March 2024, so the release should be about a month after that, depending on the publisher’s schedule.

Pixel Dust 4: Carpe Diem – 70k words written (50%) New chapters are being posted to Patreon

Dusk 1: City of Shade and Spark – 25k. This is a new series in the process that I’m working on a bit and will be slowly releasing on Patreon for now. It’s about death! Fun! I can’t wait to spend more time with it, but I will have to finish the Necrotic series before that happens.

Untitled Fantasy Series – 4.5k First chapter down. That’s it. It’s a cute story with a new character that I’m excited to write. Will update more when it has a proper title.

Other things to know:

I know I keep saying I’m going to do some livestreams on Facebook and whatnot but I haven’t. I’m still gonna, but like, eventually. Maybe this month even. We’ll see. I’ll let the discord know when I’m ready, so get in there.

Necrotic Apocalypse hardcovers are still in formatting, so they will be available soon.

That’s it!

End of the Year Author Update – 2023

End of the Year Author Update – 2023

Hey, accomplices!

As I sit and type this on New Year’s Day, I have again, eaten too much.

New Year’s Eve has been big for me since I was a kid. The family comes over and I make dinner. It’s the only holiday that I’m in charge of. It was kind of a thing I took over back when I was first learning to cook. At the time, the meal would consist of whatever random things I’d learned to make. Now, Sam and I make a full Chinese food spread with 9 different dishes. We’ve ruined takeout for ourselves by realizing it can be done at home. The downside is that I eat way too much every year.

Also, we DESTROYED the kitchen.

There is so much to clean up. I am going to die.

On the upside, the holidays are over! Now I can get back to work. Kind of. I’m still waiting on the edits for Necrotic Book 6. I’m really nervous about this one since it’s extra silly. I always have this fear that my editor is just going to say it’s too ridiculous and no amount of editing will save it. That never happens but it’s always my fear. Until I get edits back, I’ll probably work on one of the side projects.

But that’s it for what’s happening with me.

Here’s the update.

Books:

Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations – The first draft is finished! The rough chapters are still being posted to Patreon. I’m waiting on dev edits.
Cover art is in progress.
Narration is still scheduled for March 2024 so the release should be about a month or so after that depending on the publisher’s schedule.

Pixel Dust 4: Carpe Diem – 70k words written (50%) New chapters are being posted to Patreon

Dusk 1: City of Shade and Spark – 3k. This is a new series in the process that I’m working on a tiny bit and will be slowly releasing on Patreon for now. It’s about death! Fun! I can’t wait to spend more time with it but I will have to finish the Necrotic series before that happens.

Untitled Fantasy Series – 4.5k First chapter down. That’s it. It’s a cute story with a new character that I’m excited to write. WIll update more when it has a real title.

Other things to know:

I know I keep saying I’m going to do some livestreams on Facebook and whatnot but I haven’t. I’m still gonna, but like, eventually. Maybe this month even. We’ll see. I’ll let the discord know when I’m ready, so get in there.

Necrotic Apocalypse hardcovers have been ordered, so they will be available soon.

I’m beginning to schedule cons for the summer. I’m sticking to New England so if you’re in the area come by and say hi.

That’s it!

End of Month Author Update – November 2023

Hey, accomplices!

I am full of turkey.

Friendsgiving is one of my favorite made-up holidays. Partly because I get to have a turkey leg and make way too much stuffing, but also because I love gathering everyone together. My books have a theme of found family so I feel like that’s fitting.

Unfortunately due to some house situations, we didn’t get to have everyone over this year. So now we have to eat an 18lb turkey by ourselves (also I made too much stuffing.) I have my work cut out for me.

Anyway, here’s the update.

Books:

Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations – The first draft is finished! The rough chapters are still being posted to Patreon. I’m almost done with the editing pass now. Should take about another week.
Cover art is in progress.
Narration is still scheduled for March 2024 so the release should be about a month or so after that depending on the publisher’s schedule.

Pixel Dust 4: Carpe Diem – 70k words written (50%) New chapters are being posted to Patreon

Untitled Fantasy Series – Outlined. That’s it. It’s a cute story. WIll update more when it has a real title.

Other things to know:

There’s some interesting stuff in the works and I still plan on doing a few live streams on Facebook to test some stuff. So follow there for updates.

I’ll be ordering more Pixel Dust hardcovers. Plus Necrotic Apocalypse hardcovers have been ordered as well, so they will be available soon.

Enamel pins will be coming to the shop and added to the Patreon as well. I’m hoping to hit a few cons next summer so I wanted to have something extra to sell. I like to collect them so I was hoping others might like them too.

That’s it!

End of Month Author Update – October 2023

Hey, accomplices. Necrotic 6 is written (and I’m still playing a lot of Baldur’s Gate)

Spooky months is over and I have eaten too much candy. I always tell myself that this year will be different, but in the end, there’s leftover candy and I can’t be reasoned with. On the upside I watched a lot of fun Halloween movies. I started with Evil Dead Rise, Megan, Ready or Not (from a few years ago), then finished things off with FNAF. The first few I’d definitly recomend. FNAF was more of the right kind of bad, so it could be a fun time for the right audience.

Evil Dead is a series that I keep coming back to. I saw Army of Darkness for the first time at a sleep over and honestly it’s one of the biggest influences for Necrotic Apocalypse. I went to see Bruce Campell live not long ago and was really impressed at how great he was. There’s a reason why I keep going back to that series every few years.

Now that Halloween is over, I must warn you, if anyone starts playing Christmass music before thanksgiving I will riot.

Anyway, here’s the update.

Books:

Necrotic Apocalypse 6: Revelations – Frist draft is finished! The rough chapters are still being posted to Patreon. I think it’s up to ch 10. I’m digging into the editing pass now. Should take a bout a month.
Narration is still scheduled for March 2024 so release should be about a month or so after that depending on publisher’s schedule.

Pixel Dust 4: Carpe Diem – 70k words written (50%) New chapters are being posted to Patreon

Dusk 1: City of Shade and Spark – 3k. This is a new series in process that I’m working on a tiny bit and will be slowly releasing on Patreon for now. It’s about death! Fun! I can’t wait to spend more time with it but I will have to finish the Necrotic serries before that happens.

Untitled Fantasy Series – Outlined. That’s it. It’s a cute story. WIll update more when it has a real title.

Other things to know:

There’s some interesting stuff in the works and I’m planning on doing a few livestreems on facebook to test some stuff. So go follow there for updates. I also joined a couple pannels for the online convention that the LitRPG FB group held. If you want to hear me talk about character writing or diversity go look those up.

Also, there’s still a couple signed hardcover copies of Pixel Dust available on my site on my website. I didn’t order a lot so they are going fast. Necrotic hardcovers are also in the works so they should be ready soon.

That’s it!

Hey, accomplices. I’m back on track! (when I’m not playing Baldur’s Gate)

Other writers I know joke that they always get stuck at a certain part of the story. It’s when things go wrong and get emotional. There’s a lot of fun and games untill they hit that part and then it’s like hitting a wall. For me, it’s the opposite. I struggle to stay motivated in the middle chapters when everything is going well for the characters and they’re making progress. No, I need to hurt them. Once we get to the tough times, things just start coming together for me. So yeah, book 6 of Necrotic is gettin there.

Other things to know:

I’m still new to Bluesky and have like 6 followers so come join me. I’m really hopiing this app takes off so we can let twitter die. But that all depends on if regular people actually go over there and not just creators. Right now it’s just a bunch of content creators and furrys.

Other Stuff!

I just put up signed hardcover copies of Pixel Dust on my website for sale. I’ll do a bigger post here to anounce it but, yeah, they are available now. I hope to get Necrotic hardcovers at some point too, there was just more demand for Pixel Dust so it gote formatted first.

Also, I’m going to the county fair this weekend. Not in any professional capacity. I’m just gonna eat a turkey leg and a bunch of other stuff that I probably shouldn’t and I’m ecited. I know I always say I’m gonna take pictures to share on the discord but I’m reall y going to try. Also join the discord.

Also also, Baldur’s Gate is fun. I made Parker as a character and it’s been a great time. She makes every situation awkward and is trying her best to romance EVERYONE. It’s so nice to have a turn based game again. Some advice for your own game, don’t play with my friends unless you want a overly muscular nude halfling running around the background everytime you talk to anyone.

Union rises!

Union rises!

Until the writer’s strike is over, I’ll be donating all proceeds of the new Union design to the Entertainment Community Fund. So join the horde and support a cause.

Hey, accomplices. I’m a little late on this update since DragonCon was a hard week. Here’s an update on everything. Writing is still moving slow. I got sick, followed by a power outage that lasted days, then a flat tire. I’m pretty sure is pissed off all the gods. Anyway, here’s the update.

I just received an order of hardcover Pixel Dust books which I know a few of you have been asking for. They will be available in the shop soon.

DRAGON CON!

Had a good time as usual. Though, my AirBNB did cancel on me the day of, leaving me and Sam scrambling for a hotel. Then the hotel lost power. Then I got sick. It was a weird trip. Didn’t get to take a lot of pictures but it was fun and I got to catch up with some friends. And it’s always good to see Travis. If you’re ever in the Atlanta area, go check out Monk’s Meadery. We went there in a whim with Ryan and Shermer and it was some of the best mead that I’d had. Other than that, it was a good trip. I just wish I’d gotten to see some some friends a little longer, once a year isn’t enough.

Hey, accomplices. Here’s an update on everything. Writing has moved a lil slow since the release of Rebirth. A lot of authors celebrate each release I, however, ten to fall down a depression spiral. I still don’t know why that is but I’m finally getting clear of it and back to work.

Twitter sucks now. Ok, it always kinda sucked, but now it is so much worse. So I have moved over to the Bluesky app. I Have, like, 3 followers but it’s a much more chill place so far. I’ll still post general updates on twitter but I may start using Bluesky more often. I know it’s still invite only but if you happen to get over there, come follow me.

July Author Update

Author Update – July 2023

Hey, to all my accomplices.

I get so many questions about releases and stuff, so I thought doing a monthly update on everything would be helpful. Let’s see if I can keep it up from here on or if I forget entirely. My memory is not great.

Also, here’s a picture of one of my cats because I need an image. His name’s Max and he’s not bright.

Other things to know:

I’ve finally got the Facebook account back under control after it was hacked, so that nightmare is over. Though I will have to delete the old Facebook page. So if you are following me here you need to unfollow and then follow the new page here. I’m also starting to use the Facebook group which you can join here. Trying to actually use my social media, like a real, professional author. I hate it so much. Facebook is the worst. So is Twitter.
