Perpetually exhausted animation graduate who writes and makes comics about dragons, zombies, and magic. Not in the same story, mind you, but wouldn't that be something?
As a recent uni graduate, I am currently working on getting an update schedule together with certain projects of mine.

I apologize in advance, because I too wish I was more consistent.

Hello, dear readers!

Remember a while back when I said I was removing Blight from the platform to prepare it for a whole new launch? Well, here's the first announcement! All revisions are completed, the new and improved cover page is finalized, and we're going over the last little bits of proof-reading as I'm writing this message! Want to see a bit of what's to come? Head to Royal Road and read the first three chapters for FREE!! Head to royalroad.com and search up Blight: Resilience, or find it on the app to give it a gander! Two more chapters are posted on the Patreon, which will be going live after the new year with short stories (both canon and non-canon), art (canon and non-canon), the Discord server (which is currently being stress-tested) and even more!

I hope to see you all there!!

Important update:

Hello, my dear readers. I come to you with good news, and bad news.

The bad news is; the Blight series has been removed from Tapastic, WattPad, and Amazon KDP. I absolutely ADORED your feedback, encouragement, and comments on the series, and it is with a heavy heart that I say that the version you have read is no longer viable, and will no longer be available to read or purchase.

The good news is; the Blight series has been professionally edited by none other than Ann Howard Creel, the author of 'Mercy Road', 'A Life Came Calling', and 'The Magic of Ordinary Days' (which has since been adapted into the hit 2005 film by the same name), and book one has seen MAJOR overhaul changes, including an entirely different name! With the help of your previous feedback, the feedback of beta readers on BetaReader.io, and Ann's professionally editing, I am in the process of prepping the Blight series for an entirely new launch!

I won't bore you with the details, but just know that there will be ads, a Patreon page where you can get access to bonus content such as bonus chapters and illustrations, and even a Discord Server where you can connect with the community! Said server is currently being stress tested and is getting close to the final stages of coding for a streamlined and enjoyable experience, and once we're closer to launch, I'll open the server for all to join!

You have all done such amazing jobs in encouraging me to pursue what I hope will be a massive re-launch, and I hope to see you all there! I'll announce and link to the ads that my marketing team and I are working on putting together, so you can spread the word and get excited for the return of your favorite apocalypse survivors!

Hey friends! I know it'll be a while yet before book 3 is out, but while you wait, a very good friend of mine - who beta read Blight and gave some feedback, and also created Sparrow in the Blight series for me - has written a book that I highly recommend!! If you're a fan of epic high fantasy with dark twists and turns, sassy mercs with dark pasts, and are a fan of the Evillious Chronicles, you'll absolutely LOVE 'The Scarred Lands: Awakening!' Wrought with high stakes drama, epic battle scenes, and moral dilemmas, you'll take a journey through various colorful cultures, cities, and lands and a new take on what it means to be a hero! Two chapters are out right now (5 episodes) and more on the way, as his book is completed!

Also, I made a character for him that he wrote into the story! A mischievous thief who may be more than meets the eye, Wren teams up with a broody freelance merc, a no-nonsense paladin, a secretive enchanter, and a charismatic monster hunter to chase down a rogue necromancer before he rots the world from the inside out.

Go support him, he's a fantastic author, and this is his debut series!!

Hey readers, I've got some awesome news! I bet y'all thought I abandoned the Blight series, huh? Well I didn't! A LOT has happened in the past forever, and I've been taking a bunch of time to work on myself and this series and trying to get it prepped for publication. So far, no such luck on getting an actual publisher, so I suppose Amazon will just have to do for now until I can figure something out. By the way, the prices for physical copies of Blight: The Catalyst and Blight: Breakpoint have dropped! Go check them out if you want physical copies of them!!

There's some HUGE good news with Blight: Spark of War though! IT'S COMPLETED! Which means there will be consistent weekly updates, no hiatus, no waiting (outside the week of course) and no wondering whether or not the book will ever get done! It took a LOT of blood, sweat, and tears to finish book 3, but I promise you guys that it's worth the wait! The updates will begin on December 4th this year, and will be posted every Thursday at 4am GMT-5 so the chapters will be ready for you when you wake up! If you haven't read the new book 2 yet, I suggest you do that before this one, because there are some HEAVY spoilers in this book, and this book is meant to answer a bunch of questions you guys have been asking. So without further ado, I hope to see you all December 4th at the release of the first chapter of Spark of War!

Hello readers, I have an exciting announcement regarding the Blight series! Book two has been completed and the eBooks are available to pre-order for only $2.99! All versions of book two will be released on January 3rd, 2025. As I get ready to crack down on book three, I want to give those who may have read the original manuscripts on WattPad and Tapas a reminder that the series has undergone some heavy editing. There are scenes, characters, and locations that have been changed, removed, or added to make the story flow easier.

There is some other news to share regarding Book One; the eBook version is free to read with Kindle Unlimited, and once Book Two launches, eBook copies of Book One will also lower in price to match Book Two!

In the meantime, here's what to look forward to for Blight: Breakpoint-

"The clock is ticking, and Cassandra Fields is running out of time. With new revelations coming to light, Cassandra has to do everything she can to keep everyone together as tensions - and emotions - come to a head. As winter begins to break and an old enemy rears its ugly head, she's forced to work with a militia-based group of survivors who seem to oppose the Widow threat, though perhaps not for the noble reasons they claim. With her destination in front of her, Cassandra will have to decide what she's willing to sacrifice to step through the iron-clad doors of the CDC and see her mission through."

Book Two

Blight is part of the Project Lazarus series.

Hey friends and readers! I bet you've been wondering what I've been up to for this past forever! If you haven't, too bad, because I'm gonna tell you anyway! For those of you who have read the original story here, Blight: The Catalyst has been edited, and revised, and is now an officially published book available as an eBook on Amazon!

For those who haven't read it, Blight is a zombie apocalypse thrilling adventure series that takes place 4 years into a global outbreak of a mysterious zombie virus. Follow Cassandra Fields and her two younger siblings as they fight to the CDC to deliver important information that might just be the key to saving the world!

Not convinced yet? Take a look at the listing on Amazon and see for yourself!

If you read the original manuscript here, there is a warning; a lot of the content of the story has been changed to better fit the narrative! Certain characters and events may have been removed, and other events may have been altered to fit the pacing. Though this was originally a trilogy, it's looking like it will need to be broken down into at least 4-5 books!

The paperback and hardcover copies will be available later this month as the printed copies are being checked over for quality. For those of you who are curious, here's a breakdown of the pricing on Amazon:

eBook: $4.99
Paperback: $19.99
Hardcover: $27.99

Listed below is what the Amazon listing for the title page will look like! Physical copies will be available later this month, so keep an eye out!

Hey friends, I have some good news! Blight: The Catalyst is currently being prepared for physical prints that will be available on Amazon in both paperback and hardcover! eBooks will also available for purchase if you happen to have Kindle or just want to read on the go, though purchasing a physical copy will support me the most! Currently, we're set to be live for purchases in June 2024, though this may change depending on how quickly editing and finalizations can be made. I'm about halfway through making the necessary story edits, so if you want to hold physical copies of my beloved novel, stay tuned for updates, pricing, and the release date!

Hello friends! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not dead nor have I abandoned my works! A LOT has happened since I first launched Dead Days and it's been a pretty rough time. I mean, it's taken nearly 10 years just to do the first chapter. I have no excuse for that. Dead Days has been a passion project of mine for much longer than that, all the way back to 2008.

It started as a fun little venting RP between my best friend and I, which grew to have 3 writers eventually until our mutual friend stopped writing with us. Which is fine, she gave me permission to keep writing her characters as they became integral to the story and I hope I am depicting them correctly (Ronny, Nick, and Alicia were her characters), but more to the point, I'm the sole artist and script writer of the works. My best friend helps when he can, but he helps more as a beta reader and co-writer as he is not an artist.

Dead Days has gone through a LOT of revisions, both character wise in their designs and personalities, and for the overall story to make it more believable and compelling. Not gonna lie, I first started updating it as a comic because I loved the RP so much and it resonated so much with my co-writer and I that I wanted to actually SEE the characters interact with one another. Neither of us were expecting it to be popular by any means.

Long story short, I wanted to thank you guys for sticking with me for as long as you have even though you haven't gotten much out of me save for a few comic pages and a couple half-done books. I will say that my free-time will hopefully open up by early next year after I finally get my animation degree, so I will be able to focus more on my demo reel and my comics and stories.

Thank you guys again so much for sticking with me for as long as you have!
