Ok, so, technically, release was yesterday, but I was really busy with a few other irl things.

If you haven’t yet, I hope you’ll all give the Nightingale Chronicles series a look if you like my work here. The series is going to be heavily inspired off of the characters I’ve written in Batty, and ideas I’ve come up with while writing here. Batty was essentially practice for this, and it has a lot of the same tone and voice.

So, folks, there's gonna be three last blogs on the book, I think... This one, one on release day, and one for when I get paperbacks, hardcovers, and the audiobook in order and out. As it turns out, the magic of digital printing means I can publish physical copies no sweat. I just need to look a bit more into them first.

It's a bit of a last minute thing, but I'll be heading to Trotcon with a few friends of mine if anyone wants to consider meeting up. I'm likely to be spending a lot of time either looking to play Are You a Changeling or at whatever corner they're got for fanfic writing if they have one. Hit me up with a comment if you're curious about meeting and have any questions on Batty and where it's going.

Hey, all. I needed to extend to release date on Talons and Fangs by a month. Pro tip here, but if you write a real book, don't wait on getting the cover art. By the time I realized I needed it now, I could only give the artist a month to work on the cover art. Close as it was, the artist I picked was awesome enough to finish with some fantastic art just about in time, but there was also no time to correct a few... important things that needed correcting. The sketch I got--while

I promised I'd hand out snippets every few days until release, so here it is. Time for a snippet from the book on Nightingale discovering 'amazing' day dweller technology. Putting it in Spoilers just in case folks want to remain completely unspoiled.

Ok, folks. The price change went through a while ago, so the book is now a much more reasonable $8 dollars. It is still just a preorder, though, and I am stuck waiting on cover art. It's a very weird pickle I wasn't expecting as I had to put the book on amazon to properly hire my audio narrator and make an official contract. So while what I have is fitting for the story and good as a place holder, trust me that I'm gonna get you some awesome cover art of Nightingale and her pet Manny the

Hey, everybody. I’m talking about someone else’s work today, which probably seem weird with how quiet I normally am, but I was just… very surprised at how well a Royal Guard themed story I was reading was executed. I’m glad I stuck it out, because the first chapter—while it does set the premise—almost turned me completely away. Everything after that, though?

Welp, folks, I feel like crap now. I just realized the books I was browsing through amazon for to get a feel for price range were physical books, and the $15.00 price I thought was cheap next to what I was seeing was, in fact, money-grubbing levels of expensive for an e-book. You have my most heartfelt apologies for that. I don't buy many books nowadays, so I was out of the loop. I've submitted something to amazon to change the price from $15.00 to $8.00, which falls more in line with

So, apologies in advance. Fimfic does not allow me to tag more than one story at once, so I'm double dipping here as this applies to both main batty stories and I have no idea how many are tracking the first story and not the second.

So, the original fiction is finished an in the process of being preread and editted (P.S. I may be interested in more prereaders). That was done around New Years as planned. What I'm focussing on now while waiting for that to happen is the side anthology to She Drives Me Batty I mentioned wanting to do last time. It's gonna be for one shots done outside Night's PoV that happen parallel or within She Drives Me Batty. I have

So the cover art for the coming anthology of side stories to Batty's sequel is done and it's too cute not to share right now, proper timing and marketing be damned.

We've got Morning, Night, Tempered, the Twins--Rolling Thunder and Red Dawn--Aunt Mercy, Diamond Tiara, and, of course, little Pushing Daisies. The artist was also nice enough to give updated Cutie Mark References so yay!

Big thanks to EifieChan: Link Her stuff is absolutely great.

First three chapters to the sequel are done and in editting. I plan to hopefully publish and get them out some time this week—one every few days, ideally. Each one is meant to set up one of the three major arcs I’m planning right now.

Get ready to get your bat on, folks.

Soon, my friends, soon.

Twelve. More. Hours.

Gosh it's been a while. Forgot the tags the first time. Anyways, it's almost time folks. I'm 10k words in with only up to another 5k to go. And I've been chugging out about 500-1k words a day, if not more. Barring any major edits, I imagine it'll be done by the end of next week at the latest. Although... I do need to see about getting some art for the finale. It completely slipped my mind to order that earlier.

The beginning of the end has come, folks; there are only three chapters left. One is going to come out tomorrow or on Christmas itself, and I'm already working on the last two. I just want to say it's been a wild ride, and I hope you'll stick around for the sequel.

Batty now has a few chapters with audio readings. Link here and on the short description. Let me know what you think.

So, I'll finally be going to a con this year. Wanted to see what they're like for a while, but never had the time before. If anyone else is going and feels like chatting or talking horsewords, PM me. I'll probably be hanging out in Quills and Sofas quite a bit.

Do you like adorable bat pony fillies? Of course you do! Why else would you be reading Just a Little Batty then? Well, my editor is finally starting his own story with an adorable bat filly, so show him some love. I've preread most of it, and it's pretty good!

Link: Night Mares and Daydreams

So, I've been working on a Just a Little Batty one shot side story for Scribblefest that focuses on Morning Glory and Tempered Mettle. It takes place before Night was born, and is T, so expect the tone to be a bit different.

If you're interested, though:
