Aetheria - Chapter 4 posted

Other than being busy of late, things have been going pretty great, so I was just thinking the other day how great it's been that I didn't get sick when the kids started their new school year... haha ha ha haha ha ha, by the way, food poisoning really sucks... really. And I definitely don't recommend it.

Anyways... I've cleared this entire weekend and most of next week for translating VRMMO, so I'm hoping to knock out as many chapters as I can in a row.

In the meantime, for your entertainment, here's another chapter from my series Aetheria. Chapter 4 can be found here.

In this chapter, Alisha amuses herself by giving Raithe a tour of the basement... there may be dungeons and magic involved... but I'm not saying.

Aetheria Chapter 3 posted

No VRMMO chapter this week since I was busier than expected.

It's a little later than planned, but I've posted this week's Aetheria chapter here.

This week's Aetheria chapter introduces Alisha, who is quite the messed up character. The true extent of just how messed up she is isn't revealed until just over mid-way through book 2, but our main character will get a taste of it in the upcoming chapters. So, look forward to next week.

Aetheria - Chapter 2 posted

I'm planning to put in some more work on VRMMO this weekend, so we'll see how that goes. There's some other (good) news on that battlefront but it's not ready for announcement yet.

Here's the second chapter of Aetheria.

Little late on this one. The blog editor fought me all the way, so I ended up having to write most of the HTML formatting by hand in notepad... hopefully the tables will display nicely for you guys. In the final e-book they will be replaced with images.

This chapter covers the half-demon boy's backstory, introduces a few of the world's mysteries, and reveals a little more about our protagonist's current situation.

Enjoy.

Aetheria - World of New Beginnings

Aaaand here it is.

I'm finally making chapters of the original story that I've been working on available for you all to read and critique before it goes to publishing.

Chapter releases are planned to be one per week on Thursdays. (Yes, I realize it's Wednesday. Don't sweat the details.)

There's an information page available here.

I've said this before, but while this series does have a similarities to common Japanese light novel tropes (reincarnated to another world, game elements, etc.), there are plot reasons, and it isn't an attempt at imitation. The currently story actually developed out of some writing that I was doing to generate background content for a game project I had on the back-burner, and once going, it gained a life of it's own. The characters are fun for me to write and hopefully interesting for you the reader as well.

There are about 21 books planned in the over-arcing main plot, and some rough ideas for a second arc after that. The initial writing for the first three books has been completed, and I'm currently about a third of the way through book four. That's 80 chapters stockpiled. The books weigh in at ~170k, ~190k, and ~130k words respectively. Book four is already looking to be on the longer side, but we'll see.

I'm recommending this series to people who like stories about crafting and learning magic. There is combat and action in places (and it gets a bit epic on occasion when I overdo it), but you'll be bored if you're only reading for action and adventure.

Keep in mind, this is a work in progress, so if you see any corrections, or suggestions for improvement, feel free to comment.

Today's release includes 2 chapters! Enjoy!

VRMMO Summoner Hajimemashita Chapter 41

I come bearing a new chapter. The quality of this release is thanks to Nanaseru for catching several of my boneheaded translation errors. Thanks go to this month's sponsor, TNarg.

Go here to read the new chapter.

As far as my health goes, other than the occasional ectoplasmic cough... I'm feeling rather great, actually. So, releases should be back on track. I'm going to try to resume a pace of one per week, but it might slip some.

In other news, I've added a page for my original story, Aetheria. The first two chapters have been posted. Feed back is welcome.
