My distributor recently expanded their operations to Spotify, which now carries audiobooks. It’s a huge platform and I know a lot of you guys probably use it for music already, so I’m pretty excited about the prospect of reaching new audiences. If you’d like to pick up one of my audiobooks over there, the links are now available over on their respective pages:
Everyone's favorite grumpy lizard now has some wonderful fanart, courtesy of a reader who has asked to remain anonymous. I love the variety of poses on this one, and the attention to anatomy and detail is great. I think they really captured her personality. Thank you for your hard work, Anon!
2022-12-18 21:47:04 +0000 UTC View PostI started work on the Jarilan Wiki article while I was sick, which now has about 4000 words of original content. This is very much a work in progress that will be updated as more information is collated, as they’re definitely my most complicated species, but there’s already a lot of info about different castes and their biology. I look forward to adding to it incrementally and revealing mor...

Here is the MEGA archive that contains all of the Retail editions of the Ebooks and all of the Audiobooks in one convenient location. It will be tagged so that any new Patreon subscribers can easily find a backlog of their unlocked content, as sifting through so many posts is becoming a problem. It's just an archive, and doesn't contain anything that isn't already present on the Patreon page.
Here are the Retail versions of the Ebooks for Heart of the Labyrinth in both EPUB3 and MOBI formats. These feature covers, an in-line table of contents, enhanced typesetting and reflow for e-readers, along with other special features. These same versions will be going on sale on Amazon and Smashwords in the following days.

Our pal Meklab is back with another 3D animation, this time featuring a combat drone from Killing Floor with some software issues that are making her take her job of protecting her human charge a little too seriously. He asked if I'd like to write an accompanying short story, and as usual, I jumped at the chance.

We needed a UNN emblem for an upcoming art project, so I finally stopped procrastinating and designed one with the input of the community. At the center is the cross within a circle, the astronomical symbol for Earth, which is surrounded by a nautical star split into segments. Behind that we have an anchor to symbolize the naval heritage of the organization, along with a sword to signify its mi...

Now that The Autumn War is finished and everything has been released, I'm going to take a little time off. I don't usually do this, but the project ran for over a year and I'm in need of a little R&R. I'll take maybe a week, then I'll start on the next project.

I've deleted the old merged version of the Autumn War and have replaced it with the new four volume version. Since these are the final versions of the story, I've temporarily made them private so that they're not accessible to the public, just so I don't undermine my own launch by giving people access before I'm ready this weekend.
Patrons at every tier can access those pages immediately ...

Here's the final cover for the Autumn War. We did an extra one because I wanted something featuring more of the characters from the story. It's also an excuse to let Joe go HAM on some more biomech Bug hardware.
I'm aiming for a release this weekend, but that's a tentative ETA.

It's time to start taking pre-orders for the Valbaran plush! The reason I'm doing pre-orders is both so that people can reserve a plush, and so that I can raise some money for shipping in advance.
Patrons get first dibs, and it's a first-come, first-served system, though I don't anticipate that we'll run out. Currently, it's going to be limited to one plush per person, but if we don't sel...
