Let's start with the bare basics.

I'm suspending work on Myrk Mire, One Hærfest Day, and all associated properties.
I do not know when I'll be able to pick it up again, and when I do, I don't know how much time I'll be able to put into it.
I will be closing all but the lowest tier of the Patreon. I don't yet know how this will affect folks in those tiers.
I ma...

I'll try and get something newsletter like/short story like, out to you by the end of next week.
Stay safe folks.
2025-10-07 08:08:54 +0000 UTC View PostFor folks who might not know of its existence, I have a page on my Tumblr blog that allows folks to read a small selection of my shorts for the Myrk Mire and One Hærfest Day characters.
I've been fixing up some code in recent days and adding a few of the old stories that might otherwise be...

So, rather than wing it, I'm putting up one that will expire on Sunday to give you all the chance to pick the direction Éoland's Saga goes in next.
It's early in the morning, the guild have gathered in the fyrmhall to eat breakfast. Two déma walk in, forgoing approaching Arta or any of the other guild higher-ups. In...

Anyway, please find attached your copy of the September Newsletter.
Story poll will hopefully be with you Monday.

The Newsletter for the month should be with you by the end of the week.
As a little preview, have an extract from the next instalment of Éoland's Saga:
"Æṡca ran her gaze up and down the narrow street. The ramshackle wads of teetering buildings loomed over the filthy cobbles like old men crowding a dice game. Broken shutters creaked ...

2025-07-09 15:42:16 +0000 UTC View PostHi folks,
I seem to have caught myself a bit of heat exhaustion over the weekend.
Feeling really under the weather, pounding headache, lethargy, etc.
Newsletter will be delayed for a while.
Sorry about that.
To all my fellow Europeans currently under grip of this heatwave, look after yourselves, drink water, and try and stay cool.

You know I finished writing that book last year? The Bear's Tíd? The one I put a few snippets of in the newsletter a while back?
Well, I'm going to self-publish it.

2025-05-21 13:11:11 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to move the update to the public timeline along as swiftly as possible, I'm having to patch in a small fix to the Patron Demo that could, regrettably, wipe your Reader Profiles data.
It would have been preferable to give you all advanced notice of this, but I only realised the issue this morning.
I've hopefully written in a failsafe that should preserve your data ...
2025-05-19 09:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostEver feel like you're in a perpetual game of whack-a-mole?
I sure do.
Whether I sympathise more with the person doing the thwacking or the mole, differs by the hour.
A masochistic part of my brain decided to rewrite several systems this week.
Don't get me wrong, they needed updating desperately, but the same week I planned to bug fix the latest demo update was perhaps ...
2025-05-16 16:00:18 +0000 UTC View PostI'm finally trialling out the patch to the demo. This is a warning to avoid the Patron demo at least for the next 24 hours, as a lot of the patches included are integrated into the save system.
I'll put up another message with an all clear once I'm sure nothing is on fire.

You should all have your links, for the Patron Demo, if not, drop me a dm and I'll get you sorted.

There's going to be a brief delay on this month's newsletter as I'm in the final stages of getting the next demo update ready for you all.
I should be done with it by Friday, so the Newsletter will either be with you Saturday or Monday of next week.
Hope things are going as well as they can be, wherever you are. My best wishes to you, regardless.

What season does he pick?
