Well, folks... some time ago I mentioned that there was a project to produce a voice-acted version of the first few chapters of Rise of Firefly. The project is nearing completion, and the first teaser trailer has just been released:

He's put a hell of a lot of work in on this, so give him a like and drop a comment if you can.

Lately, I seem to be collecting reviews. The latest is review #5 for Before the Storm: The Rise of Firefly:

Rise of Firefly will gift you hours of entertaining readings, especially if you are a sucker for military stories, like me...

And that means it's time for an old promise to be kept. I don't recall when I made it, but it was suggested by a commenter or two a year or two ago that the story be turned into an actual book. I said I would if and when it hit 300 likes, and here we are!

A big thank-you goes out to https://www.fimfiction.net/user/14342/xTSGx for a new, favorable and very detailed review of Rise of Firefly, though I have to say that opening picture really makes me grimace. Anyway, I would like to offer some very public thanks to the reviewer, as I greatly appreciate the thought and care that went into this... to say nothing of the new likes and faves I picked up on both the story and the sequel as a result!

It was only in my fondest of hopes that Flight of Firefly would feature, but it’s still still off to a very good start for a non-clop war fic. And the release is not quite done yet either: Two more chapters will be published by week’s end, the first tomorrow and the second on Friday. The first chapter will be the conclusion of the Fort Spur battle and an introduction to the Royal Navy followed by a

At 4pm Eastern time (9pm Greenwich) on Friday, September 1st with the launch of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly.

Prologue plus four full chapters are ready as well as two bonus chapters containing the Gryphon War Declaration and Celestia’s War Proclamation. I’ve also started work on the battle and campaign maps, which are admittedly in a pretty rough state right now. Remaining is a single bonus chapter to be posted at the end of the original Rise of Firefly detailing Equestrian and Gryphon rank structure, song selections, and the completion the battle and campaign maps followed by their

Progress has slowed down of late as I've shifted focus to The Lawyer and The Unicorn. I know I said I was looking at a mid-month release, but I think at this point it would be far more appropriate to launch the next book on September 1st, which is date the war begins in the story... and when WWII began, for that matter. Yes, that's more than a coincidence.

With the help of my writing and reviewing crew, making solid progress on the start of Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly over the past week. To this point, I’ve got the cover art selected and story description written, with the prologue, first two chapters and one bonus chapter containing the Gryphon war declaration completed and ready for launch. Remaining to do before publishing:

1. Finish two more chapters so there are five available to start
2. Make campaign maps

Tentatively titled Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly, This is the story of the first half of the Pony/Gryphon War, and it opens with a bang. Here’s a preview of the prologue:

Of all the ways I thought war with the Gryphons might begin, ‘twas not with an ambush or surprise attack.

A long road to get there, lasting nearly two years but I've finally cracked the Mendoza line. And as the story is also now boasting well over 300 tracks, I have an announcement to make:

I'd like to give a big shout-out and thank-you to Raven Regios, for commissioning a picture of me as a present, surprising me with it this past weekend. She said it was a gift and thank-you to me for all the help I'd given her stories. So thank you very much, Raven! This was very sweet and I appreciate it greatly! I like it a lot and have very happily made it my new Avatar.

As Rise of Firefly nears its end, I'd like to note that yesterday marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Midway, the turning point of WWII in the Pacific. Why do I mention this? Because there is going to be an analog to this battle in the next book of the Firefly trilogy. Yes, the much-maligned Royal Navy will get its chance to shine and incur a

To compensate for a depressing last couple chapters, a much happier one awaits with awards and other honors for all. Expect a surprise appearance by a barely-heard-from pony that may well have what it takes to truly humble Firefly. You will also see how gryphon war preparations are proceeding, including how they're going to counter pony weather control. Be warned that being the weather nerd I am, you might see me geek out on the subject. But hopefully the included graphics will make up for

Hey folks...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm starting work on the next Firefly chapter this weekend. Currently, I'm alternating chapters of it with Five Star Service and will continue to do so until the latter is complete in two more chapters. And after that? Will alternate between Firefly and The Lawyer and the Unicorn.

Not one, but two chapters near completion. The next chapter of Rise of Firefly is in prereading, and if all goes well, will be released tomorrow morning. Also, the new Unleash the Magic bonus chapter is nearly done; I expect to finish the full draft tonight. I will probably release them on different days, or at least a few hours apart so they don't compete with each other in the feature box, which they both tend to hit.
