Hi Everyone,

I hope you all are doing well in this very warm summer. I'm hiding indoors where it's cool. Much like my dogs, I'm made for the cold.

Dao Divinity 2 is now complete. I ended up rewriting a decent chunk of the ending. I often end up rewriting sections, which is why I work so far ahead of what's posted on Patreon.

I'm opening my beta reading team back up. Any patreon, regardless of tier, if you'd like to join the beta reader team the beta for DD2 starts next week. I ask that you read the book in about 1.5 weeks and provide feedback either as google doc notes or via email, I ask 6-10 questions on points I'm concerned about. Anyway, if you're interesting shoot me a DM here on patreon and your email. I'll get you added to the beta team.

But with DD2 done, it's onto the next project and probably dipping my toes back into Monstrous Horizon and maybe some of the other side projects.

That said, I've been wrestling with Mana 4 and have decided to push it off a month and instead bring forward Dragon's Descent(Not the final title). It's an urban fantasy and I'm going to sit down and rewatch Lost Girl along with studying two Jim Butcher novels this weekend.

I apologize for changing the plan, but I've found forcing a novel doesn't work out well. At the same time I'll be working in the background on making plans for Mana and shaping it up better so it isn't so bland.

Edit: I plan to shift Tier rewards to open up Monstrous Horizon to the $2 Tier in line with what is currently available on Vella. $5 Tier will remain ahead of $2 Tier by 8 chapters for MH.
