#WeeknightWriters Q6

I have my #BackerKit as usual. my aim is to have a dual-launch year

#HeartofOak will debut in June/July 2027, and Carrhae, should, follow in October 2027

We’ll see if I can pull that off

If this succeeds, Carrhae comes free as an add-on

When people falter, they become desperate. Sometimes so desperate that they warp reality to justify themselves. #HeartOfOak is no lie, but the people within have many reasons to distrust everything.

This is one of those stories that started with nothing more than an urge to write something better than you just watched. Where Isekai anime can't satisfy, #HeartofOak will...

That's my promise: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

The Father of the Forest

in #HeartOfOak, very little time is spent on comfort because of the needs of the plot. However, one such scene does exist

During Simadger’s arc, the dune ant spends a day to rest from travelling and does so relaxing in a field of tall grass. It’s no home, but it feels like it

It's Official! #HeartofOak is 30 days out from launching on #BackerKit alongside #theBookBazaar! This is so exciting. It's been a dream of mine to become published

From FNAF fan fiction, to Wattpad novellas, to a full-length fantasy novel. Come relish in the story

A resurrected tree-god
A group of hired mercenaries
a loose collection of nations
and a multitude of pantheons of gods in a world that wants none of it

#TBBChat Q1

I don’t have a preference within #HeartofOak. I think realistically, this world favors autumn the same way our world did pre-industrialization. I have a month known as “Feast” which I made a modified version of Thanksgiving that celebrates the harvest instead of what ours actually is

#FunFact about #HeartofOak

I based the continent of Fylkirfold on my hometown in the mountains of New Jersey

While I’ll never move back to that armpit of a state, what I had for a backyard was impressive. I had miles of lightly traveled nature preserve. It was immaculate

I miss that freedom
