Health/Writing Update, Temp Story Swap (Patreon)

Hello friends and supporters,

As previously discussed here, I've been dealing with a lot of health complications. These aren't new for me, I've dealt with various health issues for much of my life. However, this year things have worsened in a few ways, hopefully temporarily. I've had to go in for a few blood transfusions here and there over the last couple months, while we try and figure some things out. We've also been hosting guests last month, and again late this month.

As a result, I'm behind on my writing schedule, as I warned I might be. I do apologize for that, and I hope to get back into a more regular writing schedule starting next month.

At least you've had one DitD chapter already, early this month, and another late last month.

But since you only had one in May, I wanted to give you two more this month, in addition to the DitD chapter posted early in June. Since the next DitD chapter is only partly written...

I've decided to finally share a few chapters from The Royal Menagerie, in the meantime. The Royal Menagerie is about a smartmouthed little gunslinging kobold named Mhaz, who serves in a sort of, Suicide Squad-style fantasy creature black ops unit...

This isn't planned as a permanent story swap, but I may continue to post chapters from it if people enjoy it and want more. For now, it's just a way for me to give you two brand new story chapters, at a time when my life has been rather hectic and uncertain.

With any luck we'll have two more DitD chapters ready to go next month.

In the meantime, remember if you're not yet a part of the Discord, it's an added benefit of all paid tiers, including the $1 tier. And it's the best place of all to get up to the minute updates on my writing progress, my stories, my health issues, etc. I post in there just about every day, so if you're not a member there yet, do consider joining!

For now, I hope you enjoy the early rough draft chapters of, The Royal Menagerie.
