TL;DR:

This week's chapters are the last of 2026

Patreon billing will be paused for November and December

Nov/Dec USA tour schedule with links for tickets

G'day all,

I'll start with the bad news that this week's chapters are the last for 2026. I'll need a week to rest and prepare to spend a month on the far side of the planet, especially the rest part. The Kickstarter launched very successfully (thank you), but also landed on a week where a lot of other stuff decided it needed to happen and I got sick. Just a cold, nothing serious, but I suspect lack of sleep has not been kind to my immune system. Once I get back, I'll have less than two weeks before I fly across the country to spend Christmas with my mum.

I will pause Patreon billing for November and December. For those who don't know how that works, it means that you retain your current tier of access, but that time does not count against the time you have paid for. If you had 11 days before renewal before the pause, you'll keep access through the pause and still have 11 days when chapters resume in January.

Below you will find the dates and links for all events. As far as I am aware, this is all current. If anything gets added or changed, I'll share that in another update.

Wow that's a lot of things to do. Hopefully the events will be fun and not so tiring.

Glad you are taking care of you and HAPPY for you not to pause the Patreon over the holidays so we can support you too ✨

Kamena

And of course the closest one is 4 hours away, again. Just be sure to let us know if you do dragon con, I'll be there!

Ruby Weatherbee

Enjoy your rest and travels and holiday time with the family. Always take care of yourself!

Jacob Goodrich

I'll be at the Maple grove event. Im pumped

glutton 12

See u at maple Grove!

Baron

Why no Dallas this time?

Dylan

This makes me ridiculously happy. I had tickets to the prior event in Dallas and due to work I wasn't able to make it. Austin is much closer, I'll be there with bells on. Might even bring Clive's wife :)

Ligeia

Do take care of yourself! Your immune system must have taken a big hit last year. Don't let your germy fans pass you their germs; your health is the most important thing!

Meruem92

Good luck, have fun with all the things and family holiday time

Hayden Leech

Man I wish I could take a pre vacation vacation lol. You know, to prepare myself for all the vacation.

Nat One Studio

Might I suggest Cincinnati. Very lovely city!

Different Minaga

Enjoy some rest while you can. Tickets are booked! So glad you’re coming to KC!

granndfunk

I get I'm supposed to be positive and all that but I think the last book rollout has been BS. So many breaks and delays

Nick

We need to work on getting Sandwich, MA on your tour

Brandon Cooley

See you in salt lake city will you have hard cover book to get signed?

Vayn

Tickets acquired for Austin!

Andrea W

Take care, got to make sure you are well enough to give your mum a hug. See you in January, and in the meantime and in order: Happy Hallowe'en, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you (well, technically, read you!) on the flip side in January! Stay well and take time to yourself. No health without Mental Health!

hue

Hopefully that means you're gonna drop 10 chapters this week. I promise to pace myself and only read ONE chapter a week until the end of the year!

Teddy Torres

PLEASE REST AND DONT WORRY ABOUY US! We love and support you no matter what that means but gods damn it we need you healthy so you can stick around for a good LONG time Shirt!

Kevin Trick

Seriously, this is really exciting!

Soli116

Bought my ticket for Denver. See you soon! Also, take care of yourself. Rest and time with family is important.

Kristy Riedel

I am frustrated by all the starting and stopping too, but he has obligations to a publisher now. We made him successful enough to get published and he has to strike while the iron is hot to solidify his name in that new audience. To them he is a hot new author. This new success will support his ability to keep writing for us for many decades to come.

granndfunk

Ah, bah, you make sense. I *am* happy that he is succeeding and the story is still growing in popularity... we're just soooo close

Morgan Robertson

Hope you feel better soon! If you need great food recs for Salt Lake hit me up!

Soli116

I'm sensing someone who is overestimating their resolve. :D

Travis, if you aren't currently doing so, consider adding Quercetin (500 mg a day) and Zinc (50 mg a day) to your daily regimen. I've been taking both of these since I had COVID in 2020, and have not been seriously ill since. I HAVE been able to dodge pink eye and a nice little kidney infection, which I greatly appreciate. :-D Turns out that Quercetin helps Zinc get into the cells, which in turn helps them fight infections. God has designed the best immune system ever, if we only give it what it needs!! :-D

Not upset about the pause. Slightly upset about Austin instead of San Antonio. Quite upset that 2PM means I don’t have time to finish work and drive there before you leave 🤣

Daniel

So stoked about seeing you in King of Prussia!!! tried to grab tickets for the meet and greet beforehand, but they were sold out. You are a popular dude, wonderful problem to have. Thanks for the chapter and for always being considerate with letting us know what’s going on and pausing Patreon during breaks. One question, the admission required a book purchase, but if we bring an additional book or item is it possible to get that signed as well?

Antonio Luna

I have a ticket and I will see you in Denver Sir! Thank you for this opportunity, and awesome job getting into DragonSteel, I've been on a wait-list to go for a while. Very happy for you and your success!

Matt Turner

Dude I am hoping work doesn't get in the way of the Austin event for me. Otherwise I'll be there!

Ben Maes

If you want to hit up Guam on your way back to Australia, I'll cook you some proper good barbecue.

Amie

For the Seattle event, will there be book copies to buy on site or do we need to bring a previously purchased copy? The event tickets are free but the event details are ambiguous. Thanks in advance. So happy I was able to get a ticket and look forward to hearing you speak.

Chris Foote

Will hard covers be for sale at the Seattle public library, or should I bring my own to have signed?

Isralyn

So absolutely ecstatic to get to meet you and Heath. We have our tickets for the b&n! Also, I hope you get some time to rest in woven through all that. I’m hoping you have a good ol’ time out in these parts. Minnesota is stunning. We just moved here a year ago. And Utah is excellent. Lived there for 10 years. Take a chance to hit up the alpine loop if you can, start on the Provo side or Lehi side. Oh and get in some hotsprings too! Safe travels.

michael surran

See you in Austin just bought my ticket
