Stormy Mountain Sect Chapter 16

*** AUTHOR'S NOTE ***

So I just uploaded the final version of Homecoming to Amazon, and it releases on Friday. Like my previous releases, it won't be on KU for at least a month, probably going in on May 1, so it'll stay up here for a while. ...

Stormy Mountain Sect Chapter 15

Stormy Mountain Sect Chapter 14

Not so happy with this one. Had a bit of a depression slump the last few days, so I’m just putting out what I’ve done. The next chapter should be fun, and then I will probably have gotten Homecoming back from the ...

Homecoming Patreon Draft Chapters 17-27

*** AUTHOR’S NOTE ***

Not a whole lot of changes here. I tried to add to the harpy fight, but everything I did just made it not flow as well, so I ended up backing it out. Oh well. I should be able to be done by this coming Friday, and the...

A bit of changes here, slight change in timeline. Unfortunately, I only have 17 days until this is due at my editor (she's not free again until April), so a bit of a rushed timeline. I'll try and get another bunch of ch...
