Book 1 Advance Reader Copy (ARC) Sign-Up through Riverfolk Publishing (and Other Updates) (Patreon)

Riverfolk Books is currently looking for ARC readers for Book 1 of The Last Rae of Hope. If you're interested, you can sign up through their website here!

Other TLROH Updates:

The audiobook is being proofed this week, which I think means a preorder link will be available soon (I'll be sure to share an update about that as soon as possible).

To comply with third-party exclusivity contracts, I will have to "stub" Book 1 on Patreon, Royal Road, Scribble Hub, Inkitt, and Tapas at the end of the month, which means I'll be removing 90% of the book. :/ I do apologize for any inconvenience.

Author Updates:

While I still plan to work on a version of "I'm a Demon's Master," the scope of the world-building and plot suggest it will be a series rather than just a stand-alone book. Due to some current real-life events, I think I would rather work on a shorter book in the interim (okay, let's be honest, the way I meander, even this could be more than one book).

Here is what I've been cooking up in Discord:

Midlife Crisis Clean-Up! 

She used to fight monsters. Now, she just hauls them to the curb.

Riley Ishiko was once part of a legendary magical girl team that battled darkness and saved the city. That was decades ago. These days, she’s just trying to make rent and eat something other than instant ramen. Running Majikku Cleanup!, a one-woman junk removal service, Riley takes on the dirtiest jobs in the city—illegal dump sites, hoarder houses, you name it. But when a routine clean-up at an abandoned office building uncovers a secret underground villain lab, she accidentally awakens something that should have stayed frozen: a shapeshifter that instantly imprints on her and calls her "Mom."

Now, Riley has to deal with a monster baby, a grumpy deadbeat mascot roommate, and a pair of identical twin villains—one trying to reform their mother’s defunct empire, the other hellbent on revenge.

She thought her magical girl days were over. Too bad the trash just keeps piling up. A magical girl meets mid-life comedy about cleaning up the past—one dumpster fire at a time.

A commission request has been sent for the cover, and I'm working on Chapter One (I'm only allowing myself to work on it after I write a chapter or two of TLROH each week). I'll be posting draft chapters here on Patreon. Please let me know if you'd like any magical girl/sentai tropes explored in this story.
