Bit of a shorter chap, but setup takes time. >.< I do like using the pretty colors though. ^_^ I kinda wanna setup a few more bird related quests that -aren't- so big. So if you have any ideas, I'm always happy to hear them.
Thank you as always for your support! Hope you're having a lovely week!
Hey guys! I know it's been a while. Being out of town for two weeks, possibly having covid again, and just kinda being sick in general after I got back, I've been struggling. Also because, well, trying to make sure I knew a bit where I was going. So I've done a whole lot of worldbuilding to try and make Clover City stick enough in my head that I know where to go from here.
Hopefully you enjoy! I'm still not 100% on the brawler name, and still trying to come up with a name for the bank if you've got ideas or suggestions. My brain want...
Okay, so... I was struggling with writing this chapter a lot. Where do I pick back up? I had to know what Ash did before she logged out, so I spent a bunch of time figuring out what she did before she left Lotus Lake and figuring out what the stats of all the items I didn't actually tell you the stats for were. I'll be doing flashbacks or memory portions to give you an idea of what happened there. It wasn't a ton, but it was stuff.
So here we are. A bit of real life before she dives back into the game. At least I didn't torment ...
Okay, so I just wanted to give an update on what's going on!
Insight comes out in 2 days, on Feb 9th! You can find it here: https://geni.us/ATouchofPower4. I ask that you please, PLEASE leave me a review when it goes live! Thank you so much for your help in making it a success! I've opened all the chapters here to my patrons.
Insight audio will begin recording in March, and is likely to come out in April if everything goes according to plan.
I have be...
Guys! I just wanted to send out a quick update. Thank you SO much for your support in making this book happen! I'm so very, very excited to see it come out on the 9th!
With that said, MDP is sending out my ARCs on Friday! And congratulations, if you're an active supporter and have given me more than 6$ total, you're on the list to receive it! <3 I've used whatever email Patreon gives me attached to your account, so make sure you're checking that one and looking for an email from bookfunnel. Book Funnel? (It's one of them. I trust ...
And it's officially done! I'm taking today and tomorrow to go over the whole thing again so I can get it to the editor by Monday, then I need to work on the blurb.
The goal is to have this published on Feb 9th, with Samara recording the audio in March and having that release in April.
So what does that mean for posting? Well, the plan is that I'm going to work on Clover City(book 2 of Mystic Mage) before I work on Domain(book 5 of AToP). This takes some mental shifting and planning, so it's likely to be closer to the end of t...
Idk what to call this, the ultimate chapter. I thought I was going to end it sooner than I was and just include the last bit in the epilogue, which would have made family the ideal chapter name, but with the rest at the end, Idk.
I also don't like the special ability description for domain right now. I always hate coming up with the right wording for those, so that ain't final. Ideas welcome, as always.
This has been a trip, not gonna lie. Just the epilogue and some editing to go! Thank you so much for supporting me on th...
Well, I originally intended to skip past this little garden party, but whatever! It wanted to be written. One more chapter, then the epilogue, and then I will finally be done.
Side note, it was pointed out to me that she should've done a health checkup on Eric at breakfast, so that will be getting added in when I go through edits.
I've been thinking about the epilogue. For book 1, I did the dream. Book 2 was from Frank's perspective, and book 3 was Hunter's perspective. I'm thinking book 4 is gonna be Briar, but if someone...
Getting so close to the end! I got really distracted by Sandara working on my cover and basically just freaked out and couldn't focus on anything else. I'm SO EXCITED FOR IT! Guys, you're gonna love it. I posted the sketches on discord in the patron channel, so if you wanna see, head over there! <3
Also still need to figure out the title for this chapter. Suggestions?
Thank you so much for your love and support!
Thank you, next! Ahhhhhhh, I'm still not done. My editing has thankfully been pushed back a week, but it's not going to affect the release schedule we have planned, so yay? It gives me time to finish and then go through it for a few things I know I want to go back and fix before another editor sees it. Getting so close I can feeeeeeeeeeel it.
Thanks for your love and support!

Hey! So! Getting closer here. Exciting news that's also kinda stressful, but exciting!
Tentatively, we're shooting to publish Insight on Amazon on February 9th!
You'll probably also start seeing some arty stuff next week when Sandara works on my cover.
Samara is scheduled to work on Insight in March, so the audio will hopefully come out in around April!
It's all coming up on me incredibly fast, so wish me luck that I can get it all done without going insane! Y'all are lovely. <3
Have I used this title already? I can't remember. It's very early/late. Anyway, so... I made some decisions and have edited the last chapter a little bit once I figured out what I was doing and where I was going with that, so you might want to give it another pass if you haven't already. I also might've realized that I had a rewrite that I need to do.
Said rewrite is that whenever Jade is looking at Briar's or the Elder Dragon's spirits, she should absolutely be seeing their dragon spirits outside of the human bodies. So th...

I don't have a title for this one, and as you read, you may understand why. I'm a bit stuck. You see...I still haven't figured out what the abilities for the elder dragons are going to be. It's kinda important, because this is going to be the special ability and lead into the title of the next book, given that I changed my mind and didn't give her a new one with the fae.
So basically...I'd appreciate any brainstorming. I was thinking something along the lines of dragonfear, but it doesn't sit right. Their mental communication/mind re...
Hey, so I finished this last night but wanted to sit on it for a bit longer, just because, well. This was the last of the night before's interrupting scenes. Of course, my brain decided to add more last night, so there is YET MORE TO COME! Dragons are silly and don't follow my plans. Plus I was just really emotional after writing this chapter for...some odd reason. >.>
Thanks for your support! There is yet hope I'll have this book finished in the next week...maybe... Deadlines are fun! So fun...

Whew, so last night my brain wouldn't let me sleep(the fireworks didn't help either) until I wrote out three bits of scenes that well, weren't according to plan. The end of this chapter is part of that. Whew. The emotional drain is real. Don't hate me. >.<
Hey guys, sorry it's been a while. The holidays and my health caught up to me and basically killed my mental battery. Also had a close friend's dad die very suddenly, so that made this chapter a little harder after the last one.
However, I hope y'all had a lovely Christmas or whatever else you celebrate, and that you stay safe tonight as we ring in the new year! You're amazing, so thank you as always for your love and support!

Hooooookay. Shorter chapter to compliment the longer one yesterday, but I'm glad I sat on it for a night because there were a few things I changed and added this morning. This one made me... a bit emotional. Be warned, this is not... a happy chapter. I may have made myself cry. That is all.
Thanks for your love and support. <3 Y'all are amazing.

Whew, this chapter is dedicated to my illness for now, because it's basically been kicking my butt this last week. I've been so out of energy it's not even funny. But yeah, if you have a better title, I'm open to options.
Thanks as always for your love and support. <3 Hope you're having a lovely beginning of the holiday season!

Whew, trying to get these out! Finding time to write with a guest staying with me and wanting to do stuff is rough, so I just say kudos to those people who can go write in public. Not my thing, AT ALL.
Hope you're having a lovely start to the weekend! <3 Thanks for your support!

Hey guys,
Hope you're having a lovely week! I'm off into downtown Seattle today, so wish me luck!
Thanks for all your love and support! <3

Hey guys! Hope you're having a lovely start to the week! I know I haven't gotten as much done as I was hoping, but things like conferences and me going down memory lanes tend to screw that up a bit. I am still -trying- to finish by December though, soooooo, wish me luck, we're gonna see if Jay can perform under a deadline! (While she has people staying with her, should be a fun experiment. xD)
Thanks as always for your love and support, you guys are amazing!

Hey y'all! Hope you're having a wonderful week! I've been trying to sneak in writing time in between spending time with the other amazing writers in Vegas. It's a trip, but hey, I'm making progress and learning things and all is well with the world right now.
Thanks as always for your love and support! <3

Hey guys! Whew, I had some trouble with this chapter for some reason. I can't blame it entirely on that, because my tech guy finally got back to me and helped me set up a PS1 emulator and I kinda lost a few days replaying my childhood. Plus there was LitCon. So yeah. Was a busy week and a half where Jay kinda got lost in life.
As much as I want to say I'm going to be better this coming week, I also kinda know myself, and the fact is, I'm going to another conference in Vegas next week. Writing on my laptop is hard for ...

All right, fair warning, this chapter got a little more politically relevant to current events than I normally like to be, and that was -not- intentional. So this is my blanket plea, please don't make this a political discussion. Just take what you will from it and move on, I don't want to see arguments on my patreon for one side or the other.
Thank you for your love and support, as always. I did a lot of adulting today and I'm exhausted, but getting words done makes me happy. <3 Hope you're having a lovely week!

Whew, hope you're all having a good week! I am slowly getting these chapters done, which is exciting! I'm a little behind where I wanted to be word count wise, but if I keep at the current pace there should at least be a chapter every few days. This means I am mostly on track for getting this first draft done by December! I can only hope.
Thank you for all your love and support! <3

Update: full chapter now! On an exciting note-- THE STATS ARE FINALLY MANAGEABLE AGAIN! HALLEFRICKENLUJAH! It feels like I've been working back towards this for so long, and I finally, finally get to see it! It's still not done, but soooooo close.
Anyway. So this is for you mathy people who are dying to know how her stuff changed. I know there's not many of you, but hey!
With that said, there are a few other things to let you know about. There have been slight changes in chapter 11, 20, and 21 because of an oversight on my part...
Hey guys!
Thanks for sticking in there with me, it's been a crazy month for me. I've been spreading the LitRPG love and seeing friends at cons, and it's been really good to make me feel semi-normal again. <3 I've got one more this weekend in Utah, but then I'll thankfully be home again for a while, because as much as I love them, they drain my social battery a lot too.
So yeah, thank you for all your love and support. I hope you have an amazing week!
