Another 6000 words today. I’ve slowed down a little bit because I’ve identified some issues with Chapter 12 that I feel require some small rewrites. In reintroducing Boyd and Lorza to the climax of the story (where they were strangely absent in the original) I inadvertently made Captain Stavros appear less competent by having them make too many suggestions and steer the conflict in his place.
I’m changing some of their interactions to address that imbalance and to make their input more appropriate to their areas of expertise.
I also feel that the objectives of the invasion were somewhat unclear, so I’m switching the focus away from the number of missiles fired to revolve more around taking control of the tether.

Or Die Alone – Editing Update
I enjoyed a little break over the holidays, and I’m back to work now. The first 10,000 words of Chapter 8 are edited, this is a long one.
Happy Holidays!
It’s that time of the year again! I wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for all of your amazing support this year, and to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanks to my Patreon community and my readers, 2022 was more successful than ever. We got more artwork than any year prior, we produced a second audiobook, and I finished the single largest project I’ve ever worked on – the Autumn War.
This stuff just isn’t possible without your generosity, and I want you to know that I appreciate every penny you send my way. It continues to change my life and enables me to take my work to entirely new levels that I would have never imagined possible just a few short years ago. Here’s hoping we can set new standards and reach new heights in 2023.
I’d also like to extend my thanks to all of the artists and creators who collaborated with me throughout the year, along with SnowDrakE from TouchFluffyTail for his ongoing support in keeping the website up and running.
I’m going to be taking a few days off to see family over the holidays, but I’ll be back soon to finish up editing on Or Die Alone and to start work on the next big project.
Santa’s sleigh is still full of Spotify codes, so drop me an email or a message if you’d like one.

Spotify Launch
My distributor recently expanded their operations to Spotify, which now carries audiobooks. It’s a huge platform and I know a lot of you guys probably use it for music already, so I’m pretty excited about the prospect of reaching new audiences. If you’d like to pick up one of my audiobooks over there, the links are now available over on their respective pages:
Please note that Spotify audiobooks has only launched in the US, Canada, Ireland, UK, Australia, and New Zealand so far, and the pages won’t be viewable outside of those regions, but they’re planning on expanding to more countries in the near future.
They also gave me 200 free codes to give away, which will work in any country. Email me if you want a pizza roll free audiobook on Spotify.
