I love how she came out and I'm super excited to own many of these products myself <3 ^_^
As promised, Patron tiers will be expanding soon to include some cool new options!
2021-04-09 19:40:02 +0000 UTC View PostI ran my fingers over the foreign scar decorating the side of my head. Who knew make-up could do such a convincing job of masking one’s identity. Keeping up every little detail of the façade would’ve been exhausting, and a waste of ry, but Hana’s suggestion to use performers tools had truly been valuable. While I’d never admit it out loud, she was quite resourceful. Having grown up in ...

Book 3, Subterfuge, is with the alpha readers, but no release date just yet. It had some pretty substantial dev edits take place, and is a bit different now. You guys will get the dev edited ending, but and the whole more awesomafied book...
2021-04-09 01:21:56 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke refreshed from Sung-ki’s dreamless potion, but an immediate sense of dread filled in the cracks of my mind. Thoughts of failure, death, and worse swarmed like angry ants with their colony on fire. Mae helped me meditate, providing a calming chime to focus my attention on, but even after I was restless.
Cho was frightened, too, and what kind of madman wouldn’t be? We were hours...

Henlo my dudes! I’m up late doing some of the grind work on Street Heat and thought it’d be cool to show you some behind the scenes.
I use a lot of whiteboards in the early days when I’m trying to brain stuff. Writing it down helps me to slow down, draw connections, think of things I might not have if I were just plotting on the PC.
Whiteboards are a go-to in my planning...
2021-04-06 04:29:33 +0000 UTC View PostWinter’s cold nipped at my cheeks as we walked the snow-dusted streets below Anbura. Though it was close to freezing, the citizens of Sonma were about, tending to their shops and selling the last of their fall harvests—though I could only hear them.
My vision was bright white interspersed with shadows of birds as they passed me. Some would stop to look, as if they could sense the clou...

Subterfuge: It's finally done. I feel like Frodo having carried the ring to mount doom. The dev edits are complete. Holy heck..... there were some CHANGES. Lots of revisions but the book is stronger for it and I'm really excited f...
2021-04-02 22:57:34 +0000 UTC View PostEna paced on her dais. “And he wanted to train you to assassinate Mr. Yamamotto?”
I stifled my yawn and reached for the teacup in front of me. Zigzags of green sprawled out in front of me. “Yes.”
“Tell me again how you escaped,” she said for what felt like the hundredth time.
“I threw hot water in his face to distract him, then ran to the hatch, opened it, and sw...
2021-04-02 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“No,” I whispered, feeling control of TuTu_tk fading away, like quickly losing gravity. Dokun’s ma munje closed in, trying to push mine out. The cold fear in my stomach pulled on my consciousness, trying to anchor me back in my body but I resisted.
Desperation took over and I released all the red munje from my stores like a squidling inking to escape. My munje clashed with Dokun’s...
2021-03-31 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe final lock on the incognito miniature Tuko_TK(name?) came free and my munje flowed through the machina like a broken dam across a rice field. I rotated, pulled, and slid pieces into place until the eight-legged, long-necked bot sat on my stomach under the blanket. The slender thing stood a fair forty centimeters tall and couldn’t have been excused as anything else that may have been propp...
2021-03-29 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“They were doing what they thought was best,” I fired back, angry for the truth of it, and his exploitation of the truth to get a rise out of me. I knew this was how he operated. He’d always been manipulative.
Ko-nah hummed. “Hopes and good intentions don’t do you much good when it comes to trust, does it?”
I clenched my teeth and looked to the towering city in the dista...
2021-03-26 15:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI’d managed to control my feelings of hopelessness by the time we came ashore. There was another group of Enjiho waiting with towels and my warmed clothes. I changed, keeping my head empty with practiced breathing Woong-ji had taught me in my first year.
Mae was quietly analyzing information I’d been able to pick up about the Valeria—Hiro’s ship—and every once in a while an imag...
2021-03-24 15:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostI floated on my back, paddling every few seconds between looking at the horizon and firing a little ry flare of green into the sky. A boat was on its way, but being out over open water was too uncomfortable for me to not want to move. Mae was keeping watch for disturbances in the water below us, and alerting me to anything that might be dangerous—which she’d been silent about for too many m...
2021-03-22 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostBoiling water sprayed in a violent, whistling mist. Hiro turned to see what had caused the noise, getting a face-full of hot steam. He growled in pain, but I didn’t wait to see what he did next. I jumped from my cross-legged position on the floor only to find my right leg was still too numb to use.
“Jiyong, stop!” Hiro yelled, his voice pained.
‘Do you know where we are?...

Henlo dudes... the image is the update. I am sorry for missing last thursday, but hoped this would make up for it. I finished Bastion 3!
The final release will have a lot of different content than what you saw. The opening sequence will be missing two chapters of Eun-bi character interaction (being saved for book 4) and several other things I won't mention so you can be surprised.

2021-03-19 05:16:18 +0000 UTC View PostDISCLAIMER:
I had a lot of great feedback on the story and ended up seeding in some interesting things to help progress the story. You didn't get to see those things in the earlier chapters, so I apologize. I've left in my TK's that mark where those things would've happened in the past to hopefully help you.

2021-03-17 15:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostTransports waited for us at the edge of the long pathway from TK_Dokun Corp. Enjiho guided us onboard, and the train of excitable students took off for the beach luau—the party Dokun had promised the entire school to coax us into changing our plans for the day.
The sun hung a few degrees above the horizon, casting orange, pink, and red across the cloud-speckled sky. The beauty of it sou...
2021-03-15 15:28:20 +0000 UTC View Post“We’re not—” I started with a stammer and Dokun raised a hand.
“Not you.” He smirked and looked to Woong-ji. “You.”
My jaw flexed but I kept all emotion from my face. I had assumed they were here for that purpose, but hadn’t been told outright, making it easier to lie. But now the jig was up. I cycled my zo down through my fists and I could see Hana do the same fro...
2021-03-12 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, are you going to come in?” Dokun asked again when none of us moved.
The warm invitation sent chills across my arms and up to my neck. My heartbeat thudded in my throat and I swallowed back sickness. If he were anywhere near Ena’s level of munje mastery, he could have us all on the ground in seconds, but something told me he was well beyond that.
The other students moved...
2021-03-10 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke on rest day with an uneasy sickness to my stomach. We had memorized our fake plan to the finest detail, yet still I worried. What if Yuri forgot something? What if Ena asked a question we hadn’t had enough time to prepare for? What if Woong-ji asked me to truly execute that plan?
I wiped my hand over my face and rubbed my eyes.
“Sleep well?” Ko-nah asked as he opened t...

2021-03-06 16:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostWe returned to our rooms silent, and trembling. How was I going to build a plan with the other? How could we all have the same correct details when next Ena cornered us? Should we try to escape and complete the mission outside of Anbura’s bounds?
There were so many questions my head was spinning. I sat down on my bed roll, stomach empty and twisted with anxiety. Ko-nah looked at me with...

HAPPY LAUNCH DAY(after) MALWARE!
Ena led us through the wide hall on the bottom floor to the back of the pagoda. We hadn’t seen any of the Anbura instructors’ private rooms on our first tour, which was most certainly the rooms we were walking past now. Doors adorned with family names I couldn’t read, symbols and shapes that didn’t make any sense.

2021-03-02 18:29:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sonma physicians departed Anbura the next morning when it was clear I was not in real danger. They wanted time to study the effects the shūspekta had on me, but Woong-ji had declined. We would run our own tests and provide them with the details—though I doubted there was much honesty to that.

2021-03-01 16:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI was standing on a desk, staring up dozens of meters to the person looming over a long necked machina. She brought her eye to the end of the device and then pulled away to write something on a digital tablet.
I turned from side to side, observing more oversized people and things moving about the room. There was a creature that closely resembled a badgermouse in a cage next to me that was...

2021-02-26 01:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe shūspekta—a massive monster made of undulating fur who snorted munje—roared in anger. Purple light traveled on its screaming breath and the shield around its body blasted toward me. Mae was quick to send more enzo to my hands, and I flailed out a fast barrier of my own. I dug my toes in as the explosion of raw power whipped past my protection and tore at my arms.
Mae yel...
2021-02-24 16:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostMae woke me as morning broke and I sat up quietly. It was still dark in the small room, and no one else roused at my movement. The nip of fall was in the air despite the window being shuttered from the elements, and I shivered.
I breathed deeply and checked my energy reserves—low, of course. I could spare some for a little warmth, and cycled the muscle boosting zo through my first band....
