Song of the 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.

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

She sees it when she closes her eyes—the churning void, the field of stars, the empty expanse. She wonders if she’ll ever stop seeing it.

There’s a new chapter available on Patreon!

Takénobu, “Shady Grove” (Appalachian folk song)

Hello again. It’s Monday.

Not too much happening this week: there will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow. I’m also working on the audio drama script I wrote about last week. If you’ve got an extra three dollars a month and want to support what I do, now is an excellent time to sign up for Patreon. If you sign up before the end of the month, you’ll get the first episode of The Well Below the Valley for free, as you won’t be charged until April 1.

I should be back to something resembling a regular posting schedule next 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.

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.
