Street Cultivation 2 begins posting September 21!

Well, if you didn't see elsewhere, Street Cultivation did better than I had anticipated. As much as that surprised me, I didn't let it keep me from working on the sequel. I'm now ready to begin posting chapters on a regular schedule, as I did with the first book.

Patrons will get access to the chapters before anyone else. Check out the announcement and more information about the release schedule here:

EDIT: If anyone is wondering, yes, the posting of early chapters has begun!

Street Cultivation is out!

After over half a year as a serialization, Street Cultivation is finally coming to Amazon. If you haven't read it before now, please take a look!


Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W9J75R3

Official Description:

In the modern world, qi is money.

The days of traveling martial artists and mountaintop masters are over. Power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects, and governments. Those at the bottom of society struggle as second class citizens in a world in which power is a commodity.

Rick is a young fighter in this world. He doesn't dream of immortality or becoming the strongest, just of building a better life for himself and his sister, who suffers from a spiritual illness. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy...

What's coming next?

With the third book in my New Game Minus trilogy out, it's a good time to do a post about what you can expect from me in the future.

1) Street Cultivation: I'll continue to post my serial, and once we've completed the story, you'll see the collected form coming out on Amazon. Around that time there will be discussion regarding the future of that universe.

2) NGM Audiobooks: The second audiobook is under production, just behind schedule. The plan is to release all three books with the same narrator, but this is out of my hands.

3) Standalone Novels: Though standalone novels don't sell well, I have three books that I've been inspired to write in the past. Not everyone may be interested in them, but I think they're worth publishing. You'll see these released from me before I get fully invested in a major ongoing project. Sneak preview info about these on Patreon.

4) The Brightest Shadow: This is an epic fantasy series that has been in my mind for a long time. You'll definitely see it released in time, but for now I've just put up a little preview page.

That's what's currently on my mind. Please look forward to it!

New Game Minus #3: Breaking Rules

The third book in the New Game Minus trilogy is finally out! Please feel free to take a look. ^-^


Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RB8KWFG/

Official Description:

Bloodwraith was a villain who hated adventurers until he found himself transferred into the body of one. Trapped without his magic, he discovered that alien beings were using his reality as a game... and he had just become a player. Teaming up with a glitched NPC and other adventurers, he has no choice but to learn the truth about himself and his world.

The original adventurer may be defeated, but Bloodwraith and his allies have attracted the attention of the beings that control his world. They're coming in force, bringing both control of the system and bizarre alien powers. Bloodwraith will have no choice but to fight for his life while trying to understand the conflicts among the box gods. That battle will take him back to Cresthaven, to new cities entirely, through the most dangerous dungeon yet, and against opponents unlike any he's ever faced...

New Project: Street Cultivation

For my newest project, I'm doing something different! The story will be available completely free in serialized form here:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/23220/


Official Summary:

In the modern world, qi is money.

The days of traveling martial artists and mountaintop masters are over. Power is controlled by corporations, modernized martial arts sects, and governments. Those at the bottom of society struggle as second class citizens in a world in which power is a commodity.

Rick is a young fighter in this world. He doesn't dream of immortality or becoming the strongest, just of building a better life for himself and his sister, who suffers from a spiritual illness. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy...

Note:

I'm aiming to do something a little different here, with cultivation and LitRPG elements in a modern setting that has developed around them (so not system apocalypse). The story will have one foot in realism, so don't expect the protagonist to be handed immense power immediately. I'll put a longer note at the end of the first chapter, but the plan is to upload a new chapter every three days until the story is complete.

If you've enjoyed my work so far, please check this out!

NGM#1 out in audiobook!

The audiobook for Changing Faces has finally been released!



Audible Link: https://www.audible.com/pd/B07NGLGK9W/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWT-BK-ACX0-142473&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_142473_rh_us

I've never produced an audiobook before, so I mostly left things to readers and had them vote on all the auditions. Bryan Lamb is a new narrator, but he got the most votes and I think he did a good job. I hope everyone enjoys the book. ^-^

New Game Minus #2: Raising Allies

My second book is out! I have some other fun announcements in the works, but this comes first.



Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N8CH9GN

Official Description:
Bloodwraith was a villain who hated adventurers until he found himself transferred into the body of one. Trapped without his magic, he discovered that alien beings were using his reality as a game... and he had just become a player. Teaming up with a glitched NPC and other adventurers, he has no choice but to learn the truth about himself and his world.

Finally free of obligations, Bloodwraith can recover his necromancy and strike back against the beings controlling his world. Little does he know that one of them is now hunting for him: his old adventurer nemesis is still alive in his old body. Not only does the adventurer plan to get his body back, he's not going to play fair to get it.

Journeying to a new city, with new rivals and potential allies, Bloodwraith will be challenged in many ways. But in the end, he will be facing his past life, and this time he will need to decide what it is he really wants.
