Patreon Update 8-21-26 (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I’m still so amazed that I have the best ‘job’ in the world. Really it isn’t a job at all, it’s a passion and only possible thanks to all of your support.

Final thoughts as I finished up RD7. First off I found myself strangely annoyed that every program gave me blue squigglies for ‘The Amazon’ because I guess at this point the company Amazon has far more uses and thus they all assume that I’m talking about the company, you know not the largest forest in the world.

Besides the blue squigglies, the story went about how I expected. We’ve got five fragments of the Demon King still out there and he’s taking a more offensive approach to the war now. My goal is to complete the series next book. I think I have only a fair few loose threads to wrap up so the series is looking like it’s coming to an end.

Next we are onto DD! I’ve already written almost half the book. So, I will resist spoiling you. The main focus here is on leveling and relationships. There are a lot of side characters to juggle and that’s been heavy in focus. That and I feel Ken needs to start pushing levels now that he has stat incubation to help solve the stat growth that has been holding him back.

Audiobooks, I suppose it is either feast or famine with these lately. Beta Listeners got EG 1 yesterday and we’ll get it turned around for the 9th. Then I’m being told that the next DD and RD are almost ready. So, hopefully we’ll cruise through the next three months without delays. I feel like I’ve apologized already too much, so I won’t again. Hopefully we’ve pushed through some of the delays. Summer is really a bad time all around. Lots of people visiting family, taking vacations and summer is convention season. Add in that when narrators get the family flu, con crud or whatever germs are floating around and they are out of narrating for a week.

We’ve got a little more than two weeks on the final Dragon’s Justice Kickstarter. That’s taking up a lot of my secondary focus right now. And we’re starting the planning for an Ard’s Oath Kickstarter next year. We’ll do the whole series at once, I’m looking forward to doing that one with everything we learned on Dragon’s Justice.Otherwise I’m in a bit of a daze with two feverish toddlers home this week. (I’m probably sick myself by now).

Oh! Right, the last few launches have been rather weak for me. So, I was going to give an incentive on this RD launch coming on 9/9/26. If the book on Amazon gets 1k reviews in the first two weeks I’ll give 10 bonus chapters on patreon. Yeah. 10 bonus chapters. I’m probably going to regret promising this, but I’ll do it, I swear. I mean, what’s the point of being 18 chapters ahead of Patreon anyway?
