I know you’re all anxious for a new chapter of Eros, but I regret to report it won’t happen this month, which is given over to writing for my Unleash the Magic series. I do pledge to have one out before the year’s end, but in the meantime, there might be something to tide you over.

And tipping the scales at over 12,000 words. Titled The Power of Song for its centerpiece sequence, it will likely be approaching 13k after editing passes. It’s looking very good, having already earned a rave review from AJ_Aficionado, and will be launched tomorrow night, on the eve of my coming vacation to Las Vegas. It is, once again, the final chapter of Into the Storm, but definitely not the last word of the Firefly series. A new book will be started in due course, and

And be warned that the second part of the Enter the Griffons story arc is going to be even crazier than the first.

Even so, it will not conclude it; there will be a third chapter in the arc as the length of the current one has already reached 15k words with still more to come. No teaser since there’s very little in there that I could sanitize enough to excerpt, but expect everything the first offered and then some.

Because you’re going to get climactic chapter 31 of the story in just two days after today’s chapter 30. I considered holding it for Xmas, but in the end, it’s just about ready, so with chapter 30 fresh in everyone’s mind and readers (hopefully) eager to see what happens next, it’s on the way and will launch Tuesday night. I will also attempt to have the promised T-rated chapter 29 posted that night as well.

Spoilers for chapter 30 ahead, so don’t read this until you’ve read that.

Well, my pre-Christmas week vacation was memorable for all the wrong reasons, given I fell ill last Tuesday and ended up laid out pretty good, down for several days with what appears to have been a bad cold (not COVID, as my home test was negative, and it didn't feel like the flu). It left me miserable and unable to safely travel, especially not with last week's big storm crossing the country with flooding rains followed by howling winds and plunging temperatures—not what you want to deal with

I accidentally posted the in-progress draft of my new C&C chapter directly to the story, overwriting Chapter 37 with it. It was up for about half an hour before I noticed, so I apologize to anybody who saw it and ended up very confused or thought it was unfinished (because it was). The proper chapter content has been restored. But, since I did that, I might as well give an update on the new chapter.

It's looking pretty polished by now and coming in not far short of 13k words, though I keep tweaking it here and there. Even once the preread is in, there'll be a one-day delay so I can create the T-rated version of it. I don't like to do that until I'm satisfied the main R-rated/M-rated version is finished, in order to minimize edits or changes that would otherwise have to be done to two versions of text instead of one.

I have been advised by no less an authority than CHS acting Vice-Principal Ms. Cheerilee to use the upcoming Midnight Rising chapter as strictly a recap to relaunch the story, and not get into Lemon Zest until the following chapter, when I can devote a full entry to it without any split in focus. No, really. She did. You’ll see what I mean when the chapter launches, but basically, I’m going to make this kind of an interlude chapter where I catch new or returning readers back up and

Sorry for the delay, but I'm still tweaking it and trying to give prereaders more chance to hit it. Just remember that when it does drop, you'll see three new chapters and not just one. That's because I'll be breaking up the prior chapter into three to make the chapter size more in line with the rest of the story, like I said in a previous blog.

Wish it were Sunday. That’s my fun day.

It's been nearly a year since A Mare to Soar For was released. There hasn't been an update since February. Last thing I said about it is that I wanted to re-write it, and that is still true - and I'm hoping to get it out of the door before its first anniversary.

With T-minus 5 days to launch, status of the new story is as follows:

For fans of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, I will be aiming for a new chapter release this weekend or early next week, depending on how quickly I can get the rest written. The new chapter currently stands at 3500 words and should be at least double that length by the end. Expect it to be the second part of a three-chapter arc dealing with the Empire's first-day attack on Cloudsdale, and as promised previously, it will be told from a new point of view, the identity of whom

So a couple months ago, my gym partner convinced me to start training to run a half-marathon with him. Feeling game, I began to, but pushed too hard too fast and didn’t upgrade my shoes or socks to something more suitable for running. I made it up to five miles, but the result was severe foot blisters... and a cartilage tear in my right knee that caused severe swelling and pain.

That might have been the best con I've been to yet.

Highlights:

- 10-12 people showed up for my fanfiction panel, which was awesome considering I got a Friday timeslot and not a Saturday one. (Someone recorded it and I'll let anyone who might be interested know when/where it's up)

Prereads are in, but I promised both readers and myself I’d wait to publish until I got the battle maps made. If you want to know why it’s taking so long, here’s why:

Nothing is ever as bad--or as good--as it first seems. So do yourselves a favor and don't obsess over Coronavirus; checking news feeds and numbers constantly. It won't change anything and the overly-sensationalistic (and often false) coverage won't accomplish anything except to heighten anxiety. This thing will run its course and we'll come out the other side of it in decent shape; in the meantime just take care of yourselves and take what precautions you can.

Just as soon as my prereaders have finished with it and I've given it an editing pass or three, possibly as soon as tonight. Readers of Nightmare Night who enjoy the figurative plot more than the literal kind may wish to give this one a look, as the chapters are shorter and completely given over to M-rated action without any of the scene-setting or world/character building I've got in the parent story.

But it will not yet contain the continuation itself, sorry, since I still have a slew of chapters to get through updating first. It will eventually appear in this new story, however.

Are subject to change, and mine have, but in a good way. The next Midnight Rising chapter is nearly ready and will launch tonight. I originally said I had two chapters in progress? Make that three. I've decided to solve the dilemma of which scene to leave for another chapter by giving them all their own full chapters, and their deserved spotlight in turn. First up is our fair lady Rarity, newly minted dragon aficionado.
