Gralgiran stood before the Earther, seated on the other side of the table. He had accommodated her by providing a flat seat with straight back. Jeremy had printed some in his early days living with him; until he’d gotten used to the bowl shape. The Ps...

Guards were how the people in charge kept control of the city, so they were who Tibs needed to undermine. Undermining them to the citizens would be done through the Nimble Roamer, showing they weren’t particularly competent. But he also needed to tur...

He was happy to be back to work after the few days off, his part in the hunt had enforced on him. Hunters weren’t allowed to just return from the line and get back to work as if nothing happen...

“Alright,” the caravan master called. He was a lanky man, now dressed to show wealth rather than for the comfort of travel. “For the new ones with us. Stay with the caravan or the stalls. Toleris isn’t a city kind to troublemakers. I’m no...
It's a warm August day, the sky only hints at clouds. we're standing in the middle of the fair, with the sounds of people all around us, food vendors left and right, along with game booths. Screams erupt, but those are just the people in the switchback as their carts plummet down from the top...
The large tent was cramped, with the table talking most of the space and the people around it talking loudly, pointing at areas on the multiple maps. Kal had a moment of dissonance, watching the mix of human and Furrians but expecting, Vee, MC, Rod, and his other brother and sisters arguing and ribbing one another about the coming battle.
He shook his head to clear it and focused on his g...
I can’t be dead, and that’s kind of a shame. I’d take that over the amount of pain I’m feeling without even trying. Trying to move fritz-out my brain. If it wasn’t more painful coming out of that than just feeling the pain, I’d keep myself blacked-out.
My heath bar flashes alarmingly. Considering that whatever health I have left isn’t enough to be visible on it, I share the ...

The stories Tibs heard weren’t recent. There hadn’t been any incident in four generations, as best as he gathered. But when they spoke of them, the sense he got was that they took place days deep within the forest, not weeks or months. It meant ...

This is book 2 in the "A Heart's Life" series(used to be Jeremy Series).
This book is definitely science fiction/thriller-ish. Someone will need to stretch things a whole lot to see ‘romance’ in it. There is still plenty of relationship stuff...

The city of Dermirion didn’t have a library or university, which Tibs thought was a good thing. He didn’t think he’d be able to keep his curiosity in check, and after Brokentia he didn’t want to stay in this city any longer than needed befo...
Reaching the top of the building Dardanus highlights on my HUD is as simple as running around until I see it, then up its wall to the top. It’s only once I’m there I realize the problem I have. This is a great vantage point over the nearby buildings, but they obstruct my sight of the roads two blocks from me in any direction.
The city called Fort Worth was nothing like the one he’d been to back before the world changed. It had been so large it spread as far as the eye could see. This was smaller, much smaller. From the tree he stood in, he could all the way to the other side; the tall stone wall going around it in a shape that followed the contour of the landscape. The roofs of buildings were visible, a...

The ruin of this temple had yet to be cleared. The roads around it were, but in the months since it had happened, little of the rubble had been moved. Carts lined the road, but people were moving smaller stones, those one person could carry.
Most of the building fell in on itself, following the lines of the cut stones, shattering when they hit the ground, not as part of bringing the templ...

Silence spread through the room, as green leathers were exposed.
It was sudden enough it turned into whispering before Tibs reacted. With a theatrical turn, he yanked the rest of the cloth off with a hand, pulling the hood over his head with the...

The arch was from before, LRK had no doubt of that. Such a large structure couldn’t be built anymore, especially not out of metal. Some of the plating had been eaten away by the elements, but a lot was left. Like the tower in King’s Town, it hadn’t been destroyed for the material.
How long had it been since King’s Town? A few years, at least. LRK had trouble keeping track. He did ...

SO, Patreon has locked Chapter 84 and there is nothing I can do, short of changing what happens in the chapter to have it unlocked. they also won't tell me exactly what the problem is, just returning a form email listing the guidelines.
Because of how I write, this may happen again, with this Series an others. (I think This is why I stopped posting Monsters and Bad Men.)
While not identical, the temples were similar; tall stone buildings with stained glass letting in light. The images in the glass showed how the Celeste made the world and the people on it, pulling them out of the ground, how he gave wizards devices through which they controlled extraordinary powers. It showed demonic-looking creatures giving those powers directly to people to use. Showed those ...
