Fugitive - Ch. 36
Chapter 36 - Meanwhile, at the houseBryce“Did that work? Bryce, are you awake?” I heard Thea’s panicked voice as my consciousness slowly came back to me. Everything ached and my muscles felt weak. It reminded me of the time that I had joined a new gym in college and pushed myself too hard in order to impress the ...
Fugitive - Ch. 35
Okay, new chapter today, and hopefully we'll be getting back on track soon. Payments are still paused and will remain that way until we're caught up.

Fugitive - Ch. 34
Okay! As it stands Patreon is ~5 chapters behind where I want it to be, this is because of <insert any number of excuses here>.To me this is unacceptable, especially when people are paying to have these extra chapters. SO! What I'm going to do is pause payments until we're back to where I want Patreon to be.I h...

Still a little bit late, but we're getting back on track!----------Chapter 33 - Honest DiscussionsBryce“What do you mean, ‘is somebody missing’?” Rosie, the dryad asked. “You’ve been missing for months, and you have the nerve to show up here and ask if somebody is missing? Just consider yourself lucky t...

News and chapter delays
Hey all!First, let me apologize for the delayed chapters. Trying to become an author has been getting in the way of me being a writer, which I'm finding out is just a part of things that I need to learn how to manage.Everything has settled down significantly and (gods willing) I'm planning on getting both chapt...
Fugitive - Ch. 30
Chapter 30 - PreparationsThea“We’re totally going to your dad’s temple while we’re in Hades, right?” I asked. Chorus had just left after hugging Esme again, and we were all still gathered in the observation room.“You’re not coming with me,” Esme declared. “Besides, don’t you have a girlfriend now?...
Fugitive - Ch. 29
Chapter 29 - Reunion, Take TwoEsmeMy eyes opened slowly as the haze lifted from my thoughts. It took me a moment to recognize that I was lying in the med-lab of little Salinthea’s very own starship.Okay, she didn’t own it exclusively, but the rest of the crew were just a bunch of mortals. It wouldn’t be long for ...
Fugitive - Ch. 28
Chapter 28 - Resurrections, Summonings, and YouThea“Um, doctor, I think you may have misunderstood,” Bryce said. I felt like I probably needed to add something, but I was way too busy laughing.Sami and Softie were still back at the resort. But Bryce rushed to end our vacation the moment Doc let us know she had fini...
Fugitive - Ch. 27
Chapter 27 - Rest and ReservationsBryce“Sora! Are you in there?” I shouted as I knocked on the door to the navigator’s quarters. We had been traveling in the Aether for well over a week and we should’ve arrived at the Legion station days ago. Usually, I would’ve just asked Sora what was going on, but they’d...
Fugitive - Ch. 26
It's still Wednesday in mountain time! So, I'm not technically late with this chapter!-------Chapter 26 - New Friends and Close QuartersBryce“We’re clear in here!” I shouted back into the hallway before dismissing my sword and walking over to the hole in the floor. “Are you okay down there, Thea? Do you...
Fugitive - Ch. 25

The big thing is that the first book is available for pre-order on Amazon! You can find it here if you're at all interested in picking it up. The paperback and...
Fugitive - Ch. 24
Chapter 24 - The Good DoctorBryce“I hate to be the one to tell you this,” Thea said. “But that man is dead. Like very, very dead. I have never in my life met a man who was more dead than that man right there. He is cadaverific.”“Thea, at this point, you’re just being rude.” I walked in to get a closer loo...
Fugitive - Ch. 23
Chapter 23 - Search and RescueThea“Alrighty princess, you ready?” I asked. We were standing in the bad guy’s airlock after we finished changing and our EVA suits were safely stored away in my ring. We were getting ready to storm the ship. Well, maybe ‘storm’ wasn’t exactly the right word.“Remember, we nee...
Fugitive - Ch 22
Chapter 22 - Jumping ShipBryceYep, that’s definitely a Union registration,” Samira said. “They didn’t even hide it all that well, just attached their normal registration to a Legion header. Honestly Sora, if you had taken thirty seconds to look at it, then you probably would’ve realized right away.”We were ...
Fugitive - Ch. 21
Chapter 21 - The Research StationBryceBryce, we need a concealment spell, and we need it now.I sat up in bed as I received the message from Sora. Thea grumbled some sort of complaint before rolling over and pulling the blanket tighter around herself. I didn’t blame her for not waking up.Her mana had taken a while to ...
Fugitive - Ch. 20
Chapter 20 - Out of the BottleIthnaa“Water is in the kitchen,” Thea pointed past the bar before getting up from where she was sitting. “There are cups in the cabinet above the dishwasher and I can grab something for your head from the med-lab.”“Thanks. I’ll grab a glass then answer whatever questions you ha...
Fugitive - Ch. 19

Monday will be the last double release with chapters 21 & 22, and then we're going back to single chapters.It's been fun (and stressful) relea...
Fugitive - Ch. 18
Chapter 18 - The Next StepSamiraThea and the captain were on the couch making lovey eyes at each other, and Sora was at the bar pretending to make drinks. All the while we were sitting in the Aether without a destination. So, things were pretty much back to normal.As far as we could tell, the captain’s plan had worke...
Fugitive - Ch. 17
Chapter 17 - The PlanVarlinIt’s not that I enjoyed using Bryce like this. Hells, I still considered her one of my closest friends. But business is business, and I needed to buy myself enough time to find the real relic or I’d lose more than just my promotion. Besides, whatever she was planning with Dr. Phaylex woul...
Fugitive - Ch. 16
Chapter 16 - Catching up with FamilyThea“I don’t mind explaining,” Ash said. “But I believe the executive—sorry, Bryce—mentioned that things were time sensitive.”“No matter what ends up happening, we’ll need to fix your weapons, which will take time,” Bryce explained. “And Samira can get started w...
Fugitive - Ch. 15
Chapter 15 - Shifting AlliancesBryce“Executive! Tell me what's going on this instant!” Ashaiya stood and adjusted her glasses. “I just received a message saying our weapon systems are offline! I’m assuming you know something about this?”I minimized my feed, keeping it open enough to still send messages, b...

Chapter 14 - The one with the Deus ex MachinaThea“Mistress!” La’akea shouted. “What are you doing here? I have this completely under control without you.”“Do you? Because it sure as hell doesn’t look like it.” Kai raised an eyebrow. “Do you have any idea how long that’s going to take to clean up?”...

Chapter 13 - The Devil and the DetailsBryce“Executive, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person,” Captain Ashaiya said as we shook hands. “Although, I’m surprised you chose to come alone, it would have been well within your rights to have Legion provide a number of escorts for your protection.”“I app...
Fugitive - ch. 12
Chapter 12 - Turning up the HeatTheaWhen Ithnaa had described Rajak as her weak little cousin, I thought she was just being super arrogant. Ever since I left the hells, anybody who boasted about their ‘immense power’ was dead or apologizing like 10 seconds later. It was actually a pretty funny pattern.But Ithnaa mo...
Fugitive - ch 11
Chapter 11 - Heading Into the LightBryce“I mean, we got everything,” Sora said. “Hells, we still have access to their systems, but it looks like Legion really doesn’t know what the relic does. That or it’s above the admiral’s pay grade.”Sora was sitting on the couch while I paced back and forth in the liv...
Fugitive - Chapter 10
Chapter 10 - And Djinn there was moreThea“What is this place?” The djinn asked.“This is Elysia,” La’akea replied. “Home to the gods! You’ve found yourself in the domain of Kai, the mighty trickster. Consider it a great honor.”“Interesting story,” the djinn smirked. “I’m sure I’ll remember it w...
Fugitive - Chapter 9
Chapter 9 - Drinks with the AdmiralBryce“Samira won’t be a problem, will she?” Varlin asked as the door sealed behind me. The main area of the admiral’s cabin had been set up as a meeting area designed to accommodate his shorter stature, while not being uncomfortable for taller races.The couches in the center o...
Fugitive - Chapter 8
Chapter 8 - SubterfugeSoraI had to stop myself from facepalming. When Bryce asked Sami to do this I didn’t have high hopes, but I had expected it to take her at least a little longer to slip up.Thankfully, Varlin was on top of things, and spoke up before anybody could question her mistake. “Jayne, how about you tak...
