I have a heap of news! Too much to make fifteen posts about it, so I decided to collect all of it into one spot!

So, let’s start from the top, Dead Tired Volume Two is about to launch on Audible!

Pre-Orders are up on Audible already! The story will be launching on the 7th of May, if you liked Dead Tired One, you’re going to love Volume Two!

In the distant past, a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.

He took a nap, but he is awake once more.

Upon discovering that the new gods have been using some of his phylacteries as batteries to sustain themselves and grow more powerful, Harold has decided to take back what is his. He won't be alone. Accompanied by his faithful butler and maid Alex and a limpet that just won't leave no matter how often he teleports her over the nearest lake, Harold journeys north and east.

The Flaming Steppes await. An untamed land where great mantises roam and where a few fiery sects have made their homes, cultivating and growing in one of the harshest environments in the Divine Kingdom.

They are not prepared for Harold and his companions.

Spormageddon Volume Three - Penicillium has also launched on Audible! This one launched fully, so if you want to pick it up, you can do so straight away!

In a world where dungeons pulse as the heart of industry, infinite wealth flows from their depths.

These labyrinths, brimming with treacherous traps and fierce creatures, are the lifeblood of civilization's relentless machine. But for nature's crusader, these dungeons represent the very chains binding the world in a vice of exploitation. Determined to liberate nature from the clutches of this insatiable industry, they venture deep into the notorious Ditz Dungeon. With every step, they confront not only the dungeon's inherent dangers but also allies whose allegiances waver in the face of greed.

At the dungeon's core lies the potential for an apocalyptic ritual. With such immense power comes a dire choice: Can they truly free the world by risking its very annihilation? As the depths reveal more than they ever expected, they must grapple with whether the end truly justifies the means.

Alright... that’s it for releases... or is it?!

Yes, yes it is. I have about 6 more books coming out this year. Cinnamon Bun Volume Six, Stray Cat Strut Volume Six (A Young Lady’s Guide to Taking Uncivil Liberties), Magical Girl Crystal Genocide and its sequel, Magical Girl Rending Nightmare. At some point Noblebright and The Complicated Love Life of Ivil Antagonist are gonna hit the shelves as well!

I might be forgetting one?

Look, you can’t reasonably expect me to know to names of all the stories I’m publishing.

Anyway, in other news!

The Stray Cat Strut Fanfiction Contest is back!

Like last year, we’re holding a contest for fans of SCS to test their mettle, give fanfiction writing a chance, and to gain access to some neat cash prizes!

Each writer can submit one story to any one of these four categories starting on the 25th of April 2024! (Yes, you can submit four stories!) Submissions will close on the 25th of May, and the final contest’s winner should be determined on the 25th of June (assuming there aren’t a million submissions!)

The winners will have their story posted and/or linked on the main SCS story thread for all to see!
