Along with new cover art. This includes one brand-new chapter--a second prologue. Basically, the first prologue chapter shows Phoenix's perspective of Twilight's arrival, while the new second one shows Twilight's:

Hey, folks. After eighteen months of hemming and hawing about it, I'm finally doing the promised updates and major editing pass to The Lawyer and The Unicorn. The early chapters especially need the latter as I read some of the stuff I wrote back then and wince. No more violet unicorns, more showing and less telling, and fewer ellipses, which I had tendency to severely overuse back then.

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.

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.

For my last full day in Las Vegas, I sat down for a single playing session... that lasted nearly eleven hours. I played in the $375 deepstack at the new Aria casino resort about a mile south of Harrah's. How did I do? Here's the tournament board when I went out:

I'm currently working on a new Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare chapter for Raven that is the story climax and may well be the story ending. The rewrite has been going off and in for well over a year now and it's time to conclude it. Those of you curious to see how pony strength, weather control and magic would do against modern human weapons and how the Mane 6 would react to an invasion of Ponyville by

In a manner of speaking as its number of likes just reached 1776, the same number as the year of American Independance! I'd like to thank yet again everyone who read, enjoyed, or commented on the novelization, as well as the original author, Chrome Regios, who took on this Herculean task to begin with and churned out the first 42 chapters. The stories this work has spawned live on as well, in the form of the The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and the Firefly series. And of course, let's

Been one hell of a month for TLaTU, folks, with five chapters released. Now that we've completed the trial, what's left for the final few story chapters is setting the stage for the eventual sequel, and some simple if surprising funtimes--oh yes, some major and very sexy surprises in store! Be afraid, folks... those of you who read Unleash the Magic know how far I'm willing to go, and there *might* be such a scene to come...

Well folks...

Hard to do blog posts on my phone, but I'll persevere. Next up on the Firesight writing list is finishing off the next TLaTU chapter, and then...

Hey folks! First, a general update: I did indeed have my eye surgery last Friday, and like Fell Flight, though my vision was temporarily worsened and the double-vision not entirely corrected afterwards, it's been getting steadily better as time passes and the swelling goes down. A week on, I'm pleased to report my double-vision was almost entirely eliminated and what's left of it is close enough that my mind and/or eye muscles can compensate. In short, I have binocular vision again without

Make that two stories completed this year, and TLaTU will be number three as I'm restarting work on it and intend to push it through to completion, alternating chapters with Rise of Firefly. TLaTU has been submitted for review, by the way, at the Reviewer's Cafe group, and was moved to "In Review" status yesterday. Should be interesting

Hey folks. An update on writing progress and future works:

With the latest chapter of Unleash the Magic - Nightmare Night behind me (and if you haven't checked it out, what's keeping you? ), I'll be aiming for a release of the next (and next-to-last) chapter of The Lawyer and The Unicorn either this weekend or early next week. It should be a schedule I can keep, given there are 4500 words already written--I was halfway through it before I stopped to work UtM-NN in the lead-up to Halloween. Regardless, since we're now in the

Initial launch will comprise a prologue plus eight chapters, with additional chapter releases occurring at the rate of one per day after. At that rate, the story will reach the start of the trial by this time next week with plenty to read in the meantime.

Here’s what to expect:

After a very good week for not just it but all my stories, the newest incarnation of Unleash the Magic stands as of this writing at 155/20. As a thank you and reward for all readers, both old and new, I'm writing a fresh chapter of it next. Be looking for it in a couple weeks, with updates and teasers as we get closer.

Just wanted to let everyone know that in the first half of the month, I'm going to start a revamp of The Lawyer and The Unicorn, giving it the same attention and treatment I gave Turnabout Storm last year. That means edits, cleanup, fixes, and even the possibility of some new content.

My writing motivation is a bit low right now in the wake of the big push I put on the last couple chapters, and I’m not finding the desire to continue with C&C at the moment except in very small segments. So maybe it’s just best to step away from it and focus on other things for a bit. But I did want to welcome new readers aboard and thank everyone who left feedback, which I always appreciate. It was another successful release and the story continues to accumulate new tracks with likes being a

It'll be a few weeks more before I return to it, as I swore to finish off Five Star Service first. Just one chapter of it remains, then I owe Raven a Call of Duty: Equestrian Warfare chapter, then TLaTU is up to bat and I will finish it in turn, alternating its final chapters with those of Rise of Firefly.

And I'm calling it a success, as it garnered nearly 50 likes, 100 tracks and 80+ comments... as well as featuring as an update at the end! I do wish it had been able to feature immediately as a new story, but that's a very tall order for a non-clopfic, non-one-shot AU war story that doesn't involve a single member of the Mane 6. Despite those handicaps, it did well, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. It's rare that a sequel outdoes the original, but thus far this one has!
