“You should wake up, Eske,” he said, “before you no longer remember how.”
Journey to the Water
The latest chapter of Journey to the Water is up on Patreon! Eske is starting his Adventure on the High Seas. Special thanks to Ian Pozdol for lending me Captain Hamilcar, his first D&D character.
VAST, “Take Me With You”
It’s Monday. It snowed last night where I am, and I don’t think I’ll ever recover emotionally.
It may be hard to believe, but I am finally caught up on writing chapters! That means that the next chapter of Journey to the Water will go up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will make its appearance here on Wednesday.
I’ve gotten a couple of reviews for Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea! If you’ve read it, would you mind leaving a review wherever you bought it? You can read more about my stance on reviews here, but the short version is: you’re not obligated, though I would appreciate it, and I won’t come after you for being honest. You can also just tell your friends about it! Even in this digital age, I read more books based on word-of-mouth than anything else.
I think that’s it for this week. Stop by again soon!
Berend attempts a smile. It hurts. “Tell it to me straight, love,” he says. “How bad is the face now?”
The Book of the New Moon Door
The latest chapter is now available on Patreon! Again, it’s only $3 a month, and you get all chapters a week early plus access to exclusive projects.
If that’s not in your budget, don’t worry, this chapter will be up here on the blog next week.

Hello again! It’s Monday. I’m happy you’re here.
I’ll have a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow. I’m working on the next chapter of Journey to the Water, and I should be back on the alternating posting schedule next week! Thank you for being patient with me.
I’m doing a challenge on Instagram that focuses on a WIP (work in progress), and of my several WIPs I chose New Moon Door. I made these portraits on Artbreeder and I’m very proud of them:
I couldn’t put an eyepatch on Berend, so the half-and-half was a compromise. I might make some Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea / Journey to the Water portraits later.
I think that’s it for today. Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon!
I’m doing a challenge on Instagram! As part of it, I was asked to share my journey to becoming a writer, so I thought I would share it here as well.

“What will you do now?” Luana asked me.
Though the morning was bright, and the sky over the mountain shone in sapphire blue, a dark cloud had passed over me. I had done what I had intended upon traveling to the island; I had gazed into the Dreaming Eye, and through the help of its creator goddess I had caught the briefest glimpse of my beloved. True to the word of the first hero, the god of Phyreios, Khalim was unharmed, but he no longer remained in the place in the realm of the dead where I thought I would one day find him. He had set off, alone, across a strange, unknown country.
How foolish I was, to think that he would simply stay and await rescue. My Khalim was many things, but patient was not one of them. He must have hated that pale, dead city. It had nothing that he loved in its meager confines; no living beings, no open sky, no growing things. Once, he had told me that he had never been alone. Torr’s realm must have been terrifying in its stark loneliness.

Happy Monday! I hope it looks like spring where you are, because it sure doesn’t here.
This week, I’ll have the latest chapter of Journey to the Water up on Wednesday. I’m working on the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, and that will be up on Patreon when it’s finished.
In case you missed it, the first episode of The Well Below the Valley is available for download on Patreon only! Click here for a preview and more information.
I’m doing a writing challenge for the month of April over on Instagram, if that’s a thing that interests you. It will feature snippets of The Book of the New Moon Door and some fun images.
I think that’s it for this week. Thanks for stopping by!
It’s finally here! The script for the first episode, “The Books of the Dead,” is available as a PDF download on Patreon. If you’re not a subscriber, it’s only $3 a month. Currently, Patreon is the only place to find this particular project.
While I one day hope to produce it as an audio drama, the script is something of an art object in itself. Here are a few pages as a preview:

But when had he ever done as he was told?

The latest chapter of Journey to the Water is now available on Patreon! It will be up here on the blog next week.
Joe Hisaishi, “The Legend of Ashitaka”
It’s Monday again. Hi.
If you missed the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, it’s available at this link (or just scroll down from here on the home page). All the chapters are available under the Stories tab above.
Things are happening this week, mostly on Patreon. Tomorrow, the next chapter of Journey to the Water goes up. That one will make its appearance here on the blog next week (Wednesday, April 6). On Wednesday of this week (March 30), the script for the first episode of The Well Below the Valley will be available for download on Patreon. This one won’t be available on the blog, so if it’s something that interests you, sign up for Patreon! I’ll talk more about it here on Wednesday.
Streaming on Twitch will resume soon, but probably not this week. I’ll let you know when I have news about that.
Thank you to everyone who sent good thoughts about Odin. He was the most loved.
Have an excellent week.
