Song of the Week

Afro-Celt Sound System, “Release”

It’s Monday again. I hope you are safe and warm, wherever you are.

I don’t have a new chapter for you this week, but the latest chapter of Journey to the Water (which was released on Patreon last week) will be up here on Wednesday. If you haven’t read the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, you can find it here.

I’ll be giving New Moon Door chapters names to make them a little easier to navigate, so keep an eye out for that. I should also be able to announce a new, Patreon-exclusive project later this week! Regular chapters should resume next week.

New Patreon Post/Journey to the Water Chapter X

The vision showed me a street of marble the color of fresh snow. For all its beauty, it was a dead city, and Khalim was not there.

New Patreon Post/The Book of the New Moon Door, Part Two!

The constables don’t notice the subterranean movement in the dark. They place Isabel in an uncovered carriage to take her back to the chapel on the blue field. Geray’s ghost follows.

The Book of the New Moon Door, Part Two: Chapter One

The Book of the New Moon Door is back! This new chapter is available on Patreon. If you’re not a subscriber, don’t worry, you’ll be able to read this chapter here on the blog next week.

If you’d like to read spoilers before all your friends, you can become a subscriber for only $3 a month. If not, no worries. I appreciate you reading either way!

Howlin’ Wolf, “Smokestack Lightnin'”

It’s Monday again.

There are things happening this week! Tomorrow, the new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be available on Patreon. On Wednesday, the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up here on the blog. For the foreseeable future, I’ll be alternating between the two, and chapters will go up first on Patreon and then here a week later.

Have you gotten your copy of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea yet? If you haven’t, check out my fancy new sidebar over to the right (or at the bottom of the page, if you’re on mobile). If you have, and you are so inclined, I’d appreciate you leaving a review on whatever platform suits you best. It will help new readers find the book! I’ll talk more about reviews in a separate post later this week.

I think that’s all for today. Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon!

New Patreon Post/Journey to the Water Chapter IX

Remember who you are, and remember what you are trying to achieve. You do this for love—focus on that.

Journey to the Water Chapter IX

The latest chapter of Journey to the Water is now available on Patreon! If you’re not a subscriber, you might want to consider subscribing, because it’s only $3 a month and you get new chapters a week early–including the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, coming next week.

If not, this chapter will appear here on the blog next week, but there is a Patreon-exclusive project coming in March.

In either case, I appreciate you! Thanks for being here.

Song of the Week

Nina Simone, “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair” (Scottish-American folk song)

Happy Monday! It’s Valentine’s Day, so in honor of the beheaded performer of marriages, tell someone you love them and be sure to pick up half-priced chocolate tomorrow.

This week, the next chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on Patreon. In other news, Part Two of The Book of the New Moon Door is starting on Patreon next week and here on the blog the week after! I’ll be alternating between Journey and New Moon Door until one or both are finished. Patreon subscribers will be getting each chapter a week early, so if you haven’t yet, consider subscribing! There will also be a Patreon-exclusive project coming in March.

That’s all for now! Thanks for being here.

P.S. If you still need to catch up on Part One of The Book of the New Moon Door, you can start with the first chapter here or find all the chapters under the Stories tab above.

New Patreon Post/Journey to the Water Chapter VIII

No living person had touched that lake since the volcano had last awoken an age ago. I may have been the first to see it in a hundred years.

Journey to the Water Chapter VIII

The latest chapter of Journey to the Water is now available on Patreon! This is the sequel to Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, and Patreon subscribers get chapters a full week early, plus some other good stuff.

Wendy Melvoin, “Carnivàle Main Title Theme”

It’s Monday again! Welcome.

In case you missed it, Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea released on Friday! It’s been three or four months of non-stop work, not to mention all the time I spent writing the thing, so I’m very excited to share it with you.

You can purchase it from these handy links:

Amazon (ebook and paperback)

Barnes & Noble (ebook and paperback) It says large print, but it’s the standard edition paperback. I am working on fixing it.

Kobo (ebook only)

If you want to read the first chapter before making a decision, you can do so here.

The earlier, serialized version will remain up on the blog, but I highly recommend buying the book, as it’s far more polished and of better quality, in addition to being easier to read in your preferred medium.

Other stuff happening this week:

There will be a new chapter of Journey to the Water up on Patreon! My Patreon is only $3 a month, and it gives you access to serial chapters a week early, plus Patreon livestreams and an exclusive project or two that I will be announcing in the next couple of weeks.

I’ll be on Twitch tonight and Thursday night with the Tea and Sidequests channel.

I will also be doing a minor blog remodel, so you may see some things move around. My goal is accessibility and readability, so if there’s anything I can do to make your blog experience easier, please let me know! Comments are open on almost every post.

Thanks for being here! Have an excellent week.

New Patreon Post/Journey to the Water Chapter VII

I had lost my faith in gods. I hoped the god of this island, to whom the grandmothers paid homage, would prove more worthy of my trust.
