After watching Rieka dismantle the man in front of the Watch-Commander, we received an official apology as well as the missing bounty money, which the former Squad-Commander still had on his person. The girls had initially insisted that I keep the money but when we realized how much it was, I told them to put it into the fund for the dimensional bag. With that bounty and the day's work we were ...
2024-06-08 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHey, so in follow up to my previous post about the early chapters for MGiS coming out, they will start hitting on this Friday, 6/7. The current launch date for the first book is planned to be 7.9, so you'll get two chapters a week on MGiS through that date, when I'll be pulling them down to officially release "Monster Girls In Space: To Valor's Bid".
Expect early-release chapters on the n...
2024-06-05 17:28:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe city guards took another hour to get statements from the farmers and us before several of them actually volunteered to help the farmers deal with the corpses.
The dead were tossed unceremoniously into a pile to be burned out in a section of field that wasn’t being used for crops at the time. Lieutenant Blazerider ended up doing the honors of lighting the pile with her magic to get i...
2024-06-04 08:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt took around ten minutes for Rieka to crash emotionally.
I’d been keeping a close eye on both her and Kassandra. My lover was also pale, but not to the level that Rieka was. We had enough time to drag the bodies out of the barn and line them up to one side for when the city guard arrived. The residents of the small farming enclave helped as well, but it was easy to see how twitchy the...
2024-06-01 08:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“So you went for a run, hoping to do some more practice, but were defeated by a music festival?” Kassandra said while giggling madly as we exited the Juneau Academy campus the next morning, heading out along the road towards Kintos.
“I had no idea they still did those kind of things, let alone at the dingy little park near my apartment.” I countered. Which apparently only served t...

So just giving a bit of advance notice on this one. I've got a couple of other projects I'm working on besides Summoned by Monster Girls.
In reality, the main one predates the gang on SbMG but was going through professional editing. The full book will be dropping in July, but teaser chapters will be coming out here starting next week. I actually have the first three books in this new seri...
2024-05-27 16:56:25 +0000 UTC View PostWe practiced more spells and I learned how long it would take to regenerate mana. It took around half an hour to regenerate a single point of mana while in the practice range. The girls and I did some rough ‘napkin math’ and figured that each mana point was roughly equivalent to three iron coins of mana. Which meant that my ten mana was only three mana copper of power. Not a whole lot, but ...

Liam and the girls around the fire, another slice of life bit here. Apparently, Rieka is really interested in the treats Liam is describing from back home. But which one?
2024-05-23 23:47:49 +0000 UTC View PostKassandra had been demanding up until the very last minute, but thankfully my devious snuggle-noodle had not been cruel. She’d made sure I was dressed before I was yanked back to Earth when I reminded her that I had been in public when she’d called me there initially.
She hadn’t bothered to put a stitch of clothing on herself though, which was honestly unsurprising given her teasing...
2024-05-21 08:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe whirling sensation of movement was back and worse than normal.
I’d learned in the past that closing my eyes didn’t really diminish the sensation of movement or the spiral of colors that surrounded me. A chorus of discordant noises sang out for what felt like both an instant and an hour in the same breath.
Amidst all the chaos, I caught sight of a shape that I thought was a G...
2024-05-18 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHaving dinner with Cariad had been surprisingly relaxing. I went to bed that night without any issues and slept the whole night through.
Rising on time, I got a morning run in before work. I’d been meaning to start doing it again to help build up my wind for longer fights when helping the girls, as well as the hikes that I expected would be coming when Kassandra was ready to start scout...

Another sketch of our Summoned by Monster Girls crew! I know some folks asked about seeing Liam too, so Kiera snuck him in to this quick sketch.
This will go out to the folks on Royal Road as a teaser too, but not for a few weeks.
2024-05-13 01:16:12 +0000 UTC View PostI threw myself into the workweek to distract myself from both the worries of trying to explain the weirdness that my current life was to my friend Jameson (without giving up just how weird it was) and how much I was missing the girls currently.
I’d taken to idly thumbing the runic tattoos on my right forearm whenever I wasn’t doing anything with my hands. I’d gotten th...
2024-05-11 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostReturning to my crappy apartment after the whirlwind weekend was both relieving and depressing at the same time. While I appreciated the convenience of a hot shower, I couldn’t help but wish I’d had a chance to spend more time with Kassandra and Rieka rather than have to go back to my everyday life.
“Ain’t it hell though?” I muttered while scrubbing shampoo through my slowly reg...

This one is commissioned by my cover artist and good friend Kiera. Expect to see more of her work going forward when my other projects launch in July. You might recognize the style from that green-eyed beauty in my banner and the cover for Summoned by Monster Girls. There are going to be a few more sketches coming that'll be on Royal Road but these are exclusive to my Patreon and Discord member...
2024-05-04 20:08:00 +0000 UTC View Post“I still can’t believe we found the entrance to real ruins! I only recognized half of the runes on the door but I intend to research the rest and see what I can find. Liam, you promise you’ll help me, right? You said they stood for different concepts?” Kassandra begged for the fourth or fifth time that day already. I’d made the mistake of mentioning I was able to get vague meanings fr...
2024-05-04 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostReturning to the campsite with Kassandra in tow, we found Rieka sitting woodenly by the fire while stirring the bubbling pot of stew that hung on the hook over the fire.
“Hey there, Rieka.” Kassandra trilled happily, slithering quickly past her friend to drape her wet things by the fire to finish drying before heading towards the tent.
“Kass…” Rieka said her voice was slig...
2024-04-30 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAs a heads up, this is the 'spicy' chapter with the erotica included. No major plot included if you wish to skip it, just character and relationship development.

Following Kassandra down to the lakeshore, I considered what had happened over the last few days and the pointed conversations that I’d had with Kassandra.
If she’s wanting more than just ...
2024-04-27 08:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSkinning an animal is as gross and difficult as it sounds.
This wasn’t the first time, nor would it be the last time, but the sticky peeling noise the hide made during removal still made my stomach turn. Thankfully, we were able to get it done without hurting ourselves or damaging the hide more, something that Rieka admitted to being a concern for her after the fact.
Even with the...
2024-04-23 08:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWe’d managed to bring down fourteen of the vine rays, but only eleven of the stingers were undamaged. That was more than enough for the girls to consider that part of their hunting trip ‘done’. So we focused on exploring the rest of the valley. Following the treeless curve Kassandra had spotted resulted in the three of us coming up against a large cliff face that backed an open field.
... 2024-04-20 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThere was some swearing and quite a few questions asked that didn’t have reasonable answers, but ultimately the lump of white marble in my hands didn’t answer them. Admittedly, it would have been par for the course, but the stone head didn’t suddenly start answering spoken questions. As much fun as that would have been.
Kassandra ended up being the most logical of the three of us, b...
2024-04-16 08:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSleeping in a tent is considered to be one of the more uncomfortable methods of resting known to man. Especially given how used to comfortable beds most people are. There is a massive market for methods to make camping more comfortable and an equally large consumer base of people that either entirely subscribe to the idea of camping in comfort, or avoiding the whole process and just making do w...
2024-04-13 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostAs it turned out, they had bought two tents. But Kassandra had apparently only packed one. She almost managed to pull off the switch without getting caught but Rieka found enough tent stakes for two tents, stored in two separate pouches, in one of the packs. Kassandra ended up admitting to it once confronted with that evidence.
“Seriously, Kass? I can’t believe this.” Rieka huffed i...
2024-04-09 08:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe trip into the hills was pleasant. We passed a pair of wagons and their guards on horseback just as we reached the treeline. I nodded in greeting to the group as they passed us by, getting a response from the drivers but not the guards. The wagon drivers were a pair of cat kin in plain but serviceable outfits while their escort was a half dozen men and women in sturdy armor. The whole group ...
2024-04-06 08:03:01 +0000 UTC View PostI tossed my cell phone onto the bed beside me and sighed. Calling off sick when I wasn’t actually sick felt weird, especially to make it a long weekend. I wasn’t the kind of person who would normally skip out on work or half ass it either..after what Dutcher had pulled last night though? I feel more than a bit justified calling off like this. The girls would be summoning m...
2024-04-06 08:02:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Two, four, one, five!” Cerebaton called out in rapid succession and I swung the practice sword to attack his shoulder, hip, shoulder and then thigh in the corresponding zones that he had called out. Cerebaton parried the swings with calm indifference despite the strength I was using.
We’d stepped up to full speed drills to end the night and Cerebaton was working me hard. I don’t ...
2024-04-06 08:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI’m going to need to ask Cerebaton about more or different drills I can do. I thought while wiping the sweat from my forehead with a towel.
The early Sunday morning light streamed in through the window and filled my living room. I’d pushed the furniture back to make space earlier in the week and hadn’t bothered to return it to the normal spots since then. This gave me barel...
2024-04-06 08:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostFriday went by in a blur. The improved stats were showing themselves useful already. While I couldn’t do much studying for ideas while I was loading trucks at work, I was able to work on the practical Shape-Shifting as well as multi-task by listening to some audiobooks on survival subjects. It was definitely harder than actually researching and studying those subjects with di...
2024-04-02 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI landed in grass and immediately whirled to look all around me, searching for whatever threat was there and to locate Kassandra.
It was late evening, the sun had set some time ago and there wasn’t much light in the area to see by, but I could tell that I was on Juneau’s campus from the nearby buildings and the distant silhouette of the curtain wall that encircled the campus. I could ...
2024-03-30 11:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“So on your Sunday trip, you only got half what your Saturday trip produced, despite completing several tasks?” The question from Cerebaton was relatively innocuous, something that no one would have paid much attention to. The fact that he was swinging a wooden sword at my unprotected head was a greater demand for attention than the words being spoken, at least to me.
Thankfully, the ...
