Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 9
Chapter 9While he was tempted to look at all the loot he’d acquired, that was of less importance to him than his awaiting message feed that he’d been putting off throughout basically the entirety of the Crestline Gorge Intermediate Dungeon. With a deep breath, he opened it up and was immediately shocked with some c...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 8
Chapter 8Thaden watched impassively as the last of the monsters from the first wave approached him only to die in midstride when they reached the range of his Wild Health Leach. When the last of them had died, the slab of stone covering the entrance slid back into the ground, revealing the way back – if he chose to g...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 7
Chapter 7The second section Thaden walked into was quite different from the first, as it was more of a lengthy crevice approximately 70 feet wide, and ran for the length of what seemed like a mile. The walls were high enough on either side that the sun from above hid half of the crevice in deep shadow along his right s...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 6
Chapter 6As Thaden walked forward into the Minimal-difficulty Intermediate Crestline Gorge dungeon, he expected to be attacked almost instantly. Instead, it wasn’t until he had walked nearly 500 feet into the large, open space that greeted him upon entry that something finally happened.The ground rumbled a bit under ...
Plans for Oct 13-18
Pictured above is my writing crew that keeps me company every day -- they're Palm Pals that I picked up if anyone is curious :)The new Healer book has begun! I'm making some good progress already and I'm looking forward to getting back to it on Sunday. An audiobook update:The audiobook for Undisguised Hea...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 5
Chapter 5A change in the appearance of the dungeon entrance startled him out of his work with the Plates, which he hadn’t finished attaching to his equipment quite yet. Looking up at it, Thaden realized that his turn was up, and the impatient and annoyed comments from the Guild Raid Party behind him made him hurry hi...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 4
(Finally giving you all some answers to what was in those mystery boxes at the end of the last book!)Chapter 4As part of his rewards from reaching #89 in the Rankings for Quest Completions, Thaden received a Legendary Rarity Necklace and a Legendary Rarity Ring; he’d taken a quick look at them earlier but hadn’t re...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 3
Chapter 3Opening his Character Report, the first thing that Thaden looked at were his base stats. Not only did he have 60 Free Stat Points to spend on whatever he wanted, but he’d also received 240 consumable Free Stat Stones that he’d received as a prize from the yearly announcement.Physicality – 1,694Celerity ...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 2
Chapter 2That’s a lot of people.The last time he had gone to the Crestline Gorge Dungeon with Gregory and his party, there had been a line leading up to the entrance, and they had been forced to wait for their turn; it hadn’t been that much of a hardship, as there couldn’t have been more than 50 people waiting fo...
Healer Book 4 -- Chapter 1
Chapter 1Thaden reeled back in surprise; he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.“No, we have absolutely no desire to add you to our Guild, even on a trial basis. You would be a detriment to any Raid Party that you joined.”Standing across from the Level 165 Mage Class, who was actively recruiting inside the Rageh...
Healer Book 4 -- Recap
RecapThaden was ripped away from Earth by the Assimilation System, but on his way to some sort of “Training Program”, something went wrong. His bodily disposal went horrifically wrong, and he was burned, torn apart, and even eaten by monsters before his head ended up in a dungeon. In the end, the only fortunate par...
Plans for Oct 6-11
According to the poll I did earlier today, which only confirmed my thoughts on the subject, I've decided to temporarily pause Fusionist Book 7 starting next week and beginning Healer Book 4. If you missed my explanation on the poll, this decision is mainly to ensure I can get Healer Book 4 done and published in la...
Should I start writing the next Healer book?
I've been thinking about this for the last week, so I thought I would get all of my Patrons' opinions.Back in August, my original publishing schedule had been to finish the 7th Fusionist book near the end of September or early October; the book would then be published at the end of December. Once it was done, ...
The house has been decorated!
It took quite a few hours, but the house is done! We may end up turning the brightness of the house lighting, and there are a few things that aren't perfect yet, but at least 95% of the decorating is done. And I even got away for my dentists appt, so it was a busy day.Now that it's done, I can finally write a...
Plans for Sept 29-Oct 4
The release of Corrupted SufFusion went well this week! I got a little bit written, but as usual, it wasn't quite as much as I usually get done on a non-release week. I'm hoping to get a bit done next week, though!On October 1st, I'll be taking a half-day to put out Halloween decorations and I have a dent...
Offensive (attacking) Fusions
Patrons!I was wondering if there were any other offensive (attacking) Fusions that you'd like to see Larek create in this current book. To avoid any spoilers here, in the most recent chapter I leveraged some of his more recent discoveries to find a combination of offensive Fusions that would work to deal some incr...

Plans for Sept 22-27
I'm getting further and further into book 7, and now that I'm finally starting to feel a little better, I'm hoping to ramp up my writing speed in the coming weeks. Ideally, I would love to be done with it by the end of October, but we'll see!Coming up next week, Corrupted SufFusion releases on Septembe...
Corps InterFusion Cover sneak peek!
Thought I'd share the cover for Corps InterFusion, the 7th book in the Magical Fusion series! I'll be putting this one up for pre-order for December, likely December 27th, this coming Monday so that it is available when the 6th book releases on Sept. 25th.
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 21
(I was trying to get this chapter done yesterday, but it took a while to finish because of all the details -- be warned, there are a lot of notifications!)Chapter 21Accompanying the notifications was a feeling that felt like his entire body had been set on fire from the inside, a burning that scoured through his flesh ...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 20
Chapter 20“So, the gang’s all together again, huh?” Penelope remarked, after everyone had somehow squeezed into Kimble’s office in the Volunteer headquarters building. “Tell me what you’ve been up to here.”Larek stretched in his chair as he looked past the others, his mind focused on what he was going to ...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 19
Chapter 19Setting The Hopper down in the field outside of the walls, Larek was relieved to see that Thanesh appeared relatively normal – and not like they were recovering from a sudden attack by the Gergasi. The flow of Transport traffic going in and out of the designated field for it was extremely busy, as were the ...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 18
Chapter 18“What do you mean? His magical signature is so thick here that I can practically wade through it! And you’re saying there’s not a trace of him leaving here? That’s impossible!”Farmas was livid. Their prey had escaped them time and time again, somehow moving faster than them, despite clearly being mu...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 17
Chapter 17The general idea was relatively simple, but actually executing that idea was a bit more complicated. Fortunately, Larek wasn’t a novice Fusionist, so he had plenty of experience with developing Fusions to do what was previously thought impossible; as a result, he was able to apply everything he’d learned ...
Plans for Sept 15-20
I got a little bit more written this week! Not as much as I hoped, as I'm still not fully recovered from my head cold, but I'm getting better. Next week, I'll be working on finalizing Fusionist Book 6 for publication on Sunday and possibly Monday, as well as editing some of Book 7 for scheduling on Royal ...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 16
Chapter 16The camp was relatively subdued later that night, with good reason, as Larek finally got a chance to rest. They had moved approximately 100 miles away from Dreenwood after searching the destroyed ruins of the town, using Larek’s Pattern box construct for transport, and had made their camp just outside of an...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 15
Chapter 15The welcome committee consisted of not only the Faction members stationed in Dreenwood, but also from the next nearest town, Wilfirth. The original reason for their congregation – as they quickly discovered – wasn’t necessarily because of Larek, Nedira, Penelope, or any of the Martials she was in charge...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 14
Chapter 14“Put it back in your pants, Balent,” Penelope said as she smacked the man she was talking to in the back of his head. “The rest of you, too. He just saved our lives, so stop being a dumbass.”Even with how they seemed to defer to her, as if she was in charge, the Martials staring at Larek and Nedira di...
The Fusionist Book 7 -- Chapter 13
Chapter 13“What did you do to them?! I will kill you!”The same Martial that had been so distrustful of Larek, Balent (if he remembered the name correctly), shouted and then sprinted toward Nedira, who was now looking at Larek. Just as the man swung his sword at her, the Fusionist created a Pattern construct in fron...
