If you’ve found me on Twitter and haven’t yet read my first book, I’ve started posting chapters from Deathbringer over on Royal Road for free. You can see all posted chapters here: https://t.co/hLK1pVQ7xm

Inga Alenir is a Swordbearer. She is the latest in a long line of women to inherit a magical weapon called Deathbringer. She's also dead, murdered on her wedding day by the ruthless and covetous noblewoman Yenda Avard, who steals the sword after killing Inga and her entire family.

And yet, some secrets won't stay buried. Deathbringer has a will and a consciousness of its own, and even has the power to raise Inga from the dead for a short time. It warns her that she has one week to find and retrieve the sword before death reclaims her—permanently. With each day bringing her doom and final demise ever closer, Inga will have to see just how far she's willing to go to achieve her vengeance.

DEATHBRINGER is set in the world of Agareth where a scorned, young widow fights back against the powerful elites that wronged her, and begins a journey that might turn the entire world against her.

Only Redditors are given permission to write fantasy.

[Jordan K @JordykJordan]

We actually have to make it illegal for redditors to write fantasy

[Cirsova - Dream Lords Legacy Live on Kickstarter @cirsova]

33 Hours to Go, and Dream Lords Legacy MIGHT actually hit the first stretch goal, at least.

At $5k, all physical backers will get an Arrul Voruum trading card featuring the Anton Oxenuk artwork.

@m_anthonyharris Congrats!

[Michael F Kane @MichaelFKane]

Look guys.

My next book's interior artwork isn't going to pay itself. So I'm going to need you guys to show up for the kickstarter and buy a nice shiny hardback that I'm going to get offset print.

We are talking full sewn binding commercial print job, not print on demand.

Launches LATE this month, fingers crossed. Follow the campaign below.

So you say there’s a new game about a blonde girl with a talking sword that’s getting all the outrage clicks on Twitter lately?

Oh

Oh no…

Bloodlust update: the first full draft is done, and comes up to 79,995 words in total, front to back. Book has been sent off to beta readers, so now...I wait.

Time to catch up on some long-promised reading.

@RedHedgedragon So if dragons are just part of the food chain, that’s okay, but ones that talk are probably too much.

That’s a good point, I hadn’t thought of that.

New book club premieres tonight! 👇

[Michael F Kane @MichaelFKane]

@Not_the_Bee Sounds good.

How about you at Not the Bee find some great conservative art to promote and help create new cultural icons.

I've got a few novelists I can introduce you to that deserve far more recognition than they currently get...

@DaddyWarpig So this time it’s the woman who’s the monster instead of the dude. Neat.

Bloodlust update: I'm ~40% through pre-beta edits. Won't finish today, but I'm hopeful readers will have it by next weekend.

I had one weak spot in the plot that was bothering me, but I think I've finally found a good resolution for it. So the story is now 100% complete.

New cover art is ordered. Will share more when I'm able.

[Blake Carpenter @BCarpenterBooks]

Just sent over the form request for Bloodlust's cover.

Things are starting to happen again...

@BarrettJ I've done both in the past since I don't use Kindle Unlimited, I've just always handled KDP myself directly.

[Blake Carpenter @BCarpenterBooks]

The moment is getting steadily closer where I'm going to have to decide between uploading again through KDP after the complete dumpster fire of getting my account banned last year, or going third party as a protective measure.
