Yes, after almost a year (very sorry about that folks). the next chapter is done! I am just trying to get it edited up, before I post it.

Fear not, I have already started the next one too.

I have nothing to add...

Hey all,

I am in need of a few editors, if anyone can make a recommendation I would appreciate it.

That said I am 2500 words into the next chapter, and plugging away, the muse has found me again!

As always I rotate in a guest editor now and then so no one person gets burned out fixing my chicken scratch.

So if you are interested please let me know

Woo I know it has been a while, I just had so much going on in RL.

Chapter 59 is done, it is off to the editors, and is huge ..5700+ words, far bigger than my usual. I will post it up soon as the editor has had his way with it.

Welp,

I wrote over 4300 words today and I am not even half done with the chapter, May have to trim it some.

A few notes for folks.

1)The timeline compared to canon show, is going to have to change some. I kind of wrote a few things in, before season 9 happened.
2)On that note, there are a couple of ships that were full on canon in show, that will not be so in Ranger. AppleDash being one of them for clearly obvious reasons.

I want to give a massive shot out to Turnipberry Who did this wonderful cover (on commission from me)

All, I present you with Ranger Shane McDonald, Applejack, and Sgt Cortland Apple.
(image may not show here, it is huge! https://bit.ly/2n53zL7)

Chapter 55 done, and into the editor now.

I am sorry for the long delay folks. For many that don't know I had a ...well no way to put it lightly, a heart attack. It took a lot out of me and writing was just not on my mind for a bit.

1)Yes I am taking care of myself
2)Yes I am following ALL of my doctors orders
3)I have stints now in two of my arteries, woo I am robocop!

Ok all,

Here it is, but please note you should be up to chapter 38 before you read this! SPOILER WARNING!

4900 some odd words, it's coming! Also..... WOOOO 400 thumbs up, it is a honor to have you all read and like my story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Tease under the Spoiler: pets and guns and princesses, OH MY!

A reminder that the next 4-5 chapters will be the Tribute/Summer Sun celebration arc. Lots of music, lots of SoL, not so much action based....but no worries fearless readers, clues to finding the bad guys is coming!

Sat down this morning to start Chapter 52 of Ranger, and woops! 1300 words in, and I am not even at the half chapter break.

Sorry I have not been up to my usual two updates a month folks. This past month has had a lot of stress and drama in my real life, so it has sucked the drive to write out of me.

However on the up side I am 1500 words in to the new chapter, and the creative tap is flowing once more.

I am looking for someone who does human, and pony art, color or black and white.

Conditions:

- will be one human (Shane) with AJ at his left side, and Cortland at his right
- thinking a real simple background, apple trees or perhaps a ranger badge

Payment:

So...

Yea started the chapter, and, this is the one where AJ and Shane will cross the line they have not crossed before. It is starting to shape up like a huge chapter, I want it to feel and read as special as the moment should be. So i find myself drawing on 25+ years of RP skills, online RP/TS on various mucks and SL...all of it.

I am pre-warning folks. Chapter 43 of Ranger delves into a pretty dark subject matter. With that in mind I wrote it so it could be skipped and you won't miss out on any clues/information for the main story arc.

I will be issuing a warning and letting folks know they can skip it, in the authors forward/comment box at the top.

Hey all,

I owe you all an apologies, I had wanted to get the heartswarming chapter done BEFORE xmas. However due to life, and running short of time I am just not going to make the deadline. I am now hoping to have it out before new years, I just submitted chapter 40 to my guest editor so, we will see.

Again I am really sorry for not making the deadline.

Hey all,

Ok, I have a serious question and I want open and serious answers here.

Things are progressing with Shane and Applejack, and yes I they will likely 'get together' at some point. The question is, as my readers would you rather...

1)See some/most the "action" in the main story done in a chapter marked "skip if you want" so you don't have to read it.

2)See the action taken to a side story (like I did with PVFD) so it could be skipped over or looked at as you wanted.

Hey all,

My regular editor Thunderblast is a rock star, but RL comes before editing my chicken scratching. So I am in search of someone who wants to do a bit of editing as a "backup" for times like now when he is busy with school and work....HELP! any takers?

I just got my first featured story....Ranger.

Ranger started out as a humble little idea in my head that kept digging at me and nagging to be put to type. So one day after I finished the first book of PVFD, I did. ... and it, I just don't have words.
