New Patreon Post / The Well Below the Valley, Episode 2

The second episode is called “Flora and Fauna,” and it introduces the last people Professor Ragnarsson contacted: Kurt Cross and Ellie Westmont of Sunset Investigations, and Ernest Wilde, a botanist at the University of London. It also offers the first glimpse into the Cthulhu Mythos and reveals how exactly the professor died.

Once again, this is a script for a ~20-minute episode of an audio drama I hope to one day produce. It is annotated with explanations of references, foreshadowing, and a few illustrations just for fun. It is available only on Patreon, but a free preview is below the cut:

New Patreon Post/ The Book of the New Moon Door: Part Two, Chapter Four

Does it feel worse to be strangled or to have your soul damaged?

The Book of the New Moon Door

There is a new chapter available on Patreon! For less than the price of a medium cup of black coffee a month, you can read spoilers before all your friends AND get access to exclusive projects.

Song of the Week

Donovan, “Hurdy Gurdy Man”

Good morning! It’s Monday again.

This week, I’ll have the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be posted here on the blog on Wednesday.

I’ll also have the next episode of The Well Below the Valley up on Patreon by the end of this week! This is a Patreon-exclusive project consisting of scripts for 20-minute episodes of an audio drama based on my Call of Cthulhu module. You can see a free preview of the first episode here. If you sign up for Patreon before the end of the month, you can download both episodes for free before I charge everyone on May 1st (Episode 3 will release in late May). It’s only $3 a month, and you get to read all chapters a week early in addition to Patreon exclusives like this one.

In other news, Twitch streaming will probably start again next month. I will keep you posted.

Thanks for being here! Have an excellent week.

New Patreon Post/ Journey to the Water Chapter XII

“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.

Song of the Week

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!

New Patreon Post/ The Book of the New Moon Door: Part Two, Chapter Three

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.

Song of the Week

Fever Ray, “Mercy Street” (Peter Gabriel cover)

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:

Two sepia-toned portraits showing half a face each: a white man with dark hair, a beard, and a strong jawline and a white woman with dark hair and a thin face. A red splatter covers the portraits.
Berend and Isabel

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!

Song of the Week

Matthew and the Atlas, “Out of the Darkness”

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!

New Patreon Post/ The Well Below the Valley, Episode 1

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:

New Patreon Post/ Journey to the Water Chapter XI

If only Khalim had possessed the good sense to stay where he would be safe. Now he wandered, unprotected, across a shifting, perilous landscape.

But when had he ever done as he was told?

Journey to the Water

The latest chapter of Journey to the Water is now available on Patreon! It will be up here on the blog next week.
