Chapter 193 - The Realities of Strength and Weakness

Abby came to a skidding stop, kicking up a spray of sand and gravel as she reached the circle of illumination around the campsite. Carlos emerged from a shadow next to her, twisting around to watch...

Chapter 192 - Escort Mission

From atop a sizable hill, Abby watched the horde’s progress. The zombies and other assorted undead looked like a dark patch on the horizon, but with the increased visual acuity that came with her...

Mistrunner - Chapter 33 - Making a Move

Some people need goals. A destination that keeps them trudging toward the horizon. For me, that goal has always wavered between revenge, survival, and, in the end, giving Mirab...

Chapter 191 - Frustration

Talia jogged through the desert, her course parallel to the group of refugees Abby and Carlos were leading back to Jariq. As she did, her normally placid mind roiled with frustration. She felt forg...

Chapter 190 - S.S. Turtle Shell

The going was a lot rougher than Zeke had expected, but in his defense, he’d never really paddled a boat before, much less a giant turtle shell that felt like it was going to tip over every time ...

Mistrunner - Chapter 32 - Fitting Together

The bare necessities – food, shelter, medical care – should be the last things we have to worry about. Even before the Initialization, humanity had the capability to provid...

Mistrunner - Chapter 31 - Layers

Death: Genesis Volume One Animated Cover

Patreon doesn't let me convert this to a GIF (like Reddit does), so just hit play.  I admit that I wasn't quite as happy with this as I'd hoped to be, but I think it still turned out well enou...

Chapter 189 - Overextended

Zeke awoke to a world of pain, fatigue, and regret. Groaning, he tried to sit up, but even that minor movement took a monumental effort. Still, he persisted, and when he finally managed to drag him...

I meant to announce this when the change went through, but it kind of slipped my mind.  I've been super busy lately, what with the upcoming release of the first book in Death: Genesis and the ...

Chapter 188 - The Consequences of War

Zeke trudged back to the tower, pointedly avoiding the area surrounding the hermit’s hovel. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to see Fiona – or rather, it wasn’t just that. Rather, it was tha...

Mistrunner - Chapter 30 - Spygames

There are more skills out there than you can imagine. Some are specialized. Others are broad. Learning to counter each and every one of them is folly. Instead, we must lean int...

Chapter 187 - Turtle

Zeke endured another gout of flame as he sprinted toward the turtle’s beak. His footsteps thundered into the blackened turf, leaving small craters behind. Taking a two-handed grip, he reared back...

Chapter 186 - The Bigger They Are

Zeke’s chest heaved, and his shoulders slumped in exhaustion, but he’d finally finished his task. All around him, there were salamander corpses, each sporting various fatal wounds. Some had cru...

Mistrunner - Chapter 28 - Another Test

The term “survival of the fittest” is often misinterpreted. It doesn’t mean that the strongest will inevitably emerge victorious. Rather, it favors the cunning. The adaptable. The intuiti...

Rough Cover for Book Two (Death: Genesis)

I've had this for a bit, but I didn't want to take away from the upcoming release of the first Death: Genesis book too much.  I can't keep it locked away any longer, though, so here's the roug...

Chapter 185 - A Turtle Aflame

“That is not a turtle,” Zeke muttered, gaping in awe at the creature cutting a path through the fiery lake. “It’s a freaking dinosaur.”

Half a mile away, the monster was at the edge...

Chapter 184 - The Hermit

The burning lake loomed in Zeke’s peripheral vision as he studied the small hovel a quarter of a mile away. It was far enough from the Flaming Lake itself that its owner wouldn’t be constantly ...

Mistrunner - Chapter 27 - The Next Phase of Training
