Late May update + Artwork (Patreon)

Hi, all!

Edit: Hi again, it's me, from the future! I literally just found out our special Omnibus edition of Books 1-4 is officially up on Audible, so if you have a credit burning a hole in your wallet, go pick it up today and listen to it all Memorial Day weekend!

Okay, so you likely have noticed that Ch. 120 hasn't appeared yet. This month is going to be the dreaded 1 CHAPTER MONTH (gasp) largely due to factors outside my control. It will be up before the month is out.

Writing has just been extra hard this month, to the point where I've been trying to self-diagnose the issue. Am I suffering burnout? Has my muse abandoned me? Why am I so exhausted mentally?

In truth, a huge chunk of my issues seemed to stem from keeping up with some IRL situations that were just emotionally/physically draining. It's nothing to be worried about, but I had some unexpected home repair stuff come up that resulted in having to be home and around for contractor type people, I was constantly being interrupted by people in and out of my home, and I didn't even have access to my main office for over a week! Sadly, I couldn't just peace out to a coffee shop with my laptop, either. I spent more than a couple of days staring at my screen and begging my braincells to rub together hard enough that some words sparked out, but it wasn't to be.

In short, I hit a slump and am busy getting my shit back together. May was the first month in a long time where I wasn't working on any secret projects, it was just me and Ch. 120 for three weeks.

Anyway, summer is coming and I've got a busy docket planned. D&H 2 will go back to the editor next month in time for Book 7 dev edits to come back to me. Master Class 5 work will begin in July, and Halls of Magic 2 (Did you get your preorder yet?) will start in late July. Book 6 audiobook is currently being recorded, and Halls audiobook will start production soon.

We are still catching up on artwork. I've included one of our latest commissions of Carmina (we've been testing artists out with regular character art with some very mixed results) as a peace offering for my tardy behavior. There is a NSFW version attached down below, for those who need it for their fairy-onahole fantasies.

See you next week!
