Woohoo! The audiobook, Escape from Darom, book 10 in The World series is out!!!
For those of you who have been following the art work of Helgath, this is where her changes takes place =D Anyway, the story with Zeven is a lot of fun and Star's and his friends' run to Darom is a non-stop battle royal!
Details:
Fleeing the horde, Startum and friends have nearly reached the safety of Darom when disaster strikes. The Chaos Storm Alliance has arrived ahead of them in full force and is blocking their escape. Not only that, the refugees and troopers that were supposed to flee and assist in the defense of BrokenFang Hold are trapped in the harbor.
Caught, outnumbered, and in the open with the endless Orc hordes at their back and ruthless PKers ahead of them, Startum must find a way to rescue the refugees and troopers in Darom while saving his friends and the House of Kayden Troopers traveling with him. If he loses here, Startum knows that his people back at BrokenFang Hold will never be able to hold against the oncoming Hobgoblin invasion.

Concept Art: A sexy picture of Helgath at the end of book 10!
I tried to base the armor of the new breastplate she picked up in book 11. I'm not really sure which one is the better concept art for her so I included some of the pictures I liked best that the AI came up with. I like the first two pictures the best. I thought the comparison of the ugly to sexy images really highlights the change that has come over her. It also better explains Star's struggles so much whenever he's near her.Which Helgath concept art do you like best is the question I asked the Patreon fans. I think the concept art of how she might look is a lot of fun. So far, most of the guys wanted her to look more Oricish/Goblin while the gals liked the prettier pictures of her the best. Anyway, I hope this helps visualize what's going on in the story.
(Yes I know her body in the full body shots isn't quite right. The AI has issues with completing the full body images at the right proportions.)
This is the piece of armor from the end of Book 11:
Matriarch Black Chitin Breastplate with Pauldrons
Item Quality: Uncommon
Item Type: Unique
Slot: Chest
Defense: 680
Armor Type: Medium
Durability: 300/300
Weight: 7.6 kg
+20 Strength
+20 Stamina
+20 Agility
*Removes all root effects to the wielder and their summoned creatures when caught in any web or sticky trap.
*Neurotoxin Immunity - Due to the nature of the Gigantic Cheliferidae Risso chitin this breastplate is crafted from, the wear is immune to paralysis poisons.
Anyway, I hope you like the artwork. There are a number of other variations that were posted on Patreon. I just took one of my favorites and put it here.

Burt's fan art of Ashley Duchenson!
I think this really came out well, except for the tats on the face.Both Ashley and her husband Killtet are ex-military and contacted me as fans. I ended up bringing them into the story as new Devil Dogs.
Their characters have really turned out pretty awesome and it surprised me at just how much they've become an important part of the story back in BrokenFang Hold.
Here is Ashley's information from the Character List:
Ashley Duchenson: Level 38 - Warrior/Priest – Light Elf female - IRL name Nicole Cook, wife of Killtet, Army Reserves, support for cav scout First Sergeant, Defensive - uses long sword and kite shield. 5'6", sandy blonde hair, blue eyes. Works hard to keep her husband out of trouble.

Fan Art of Jodi Tempest!
[image error] Burt did a series of images for Jodi, Fiona, and Blasto. While the details didn't come out great, the pictures themselves are cool and I picked what I thought was the best one to post.
Jodi's information from the Character Sheet is here:
Jodi Tempest: level 37, Ranger/Priest, Light Elf female, 5’9”, honey-brown mid-length hair, green eyes, and a slim compact figure. Thomas IRL sister. At his request, I invited her into the guild since she didn’t meet the DD requirements. Dark brown, straight-cut hair just below the shoulders, hazel eyes, 5’6”. Skilled in Exotic Animal Husbandry and Beast Taming skill, spears and shield, dual daggers (Legolas style), and a bow. Ranger/Priest, Light Elf. 38 Charisma. Has a snow-white Blink Lynx for a pet named Fiona with golden eyes (also necklace that causes freeze bonus to attacks), secondary combat pet named Blasto – an Elite Pyro Spitter (brown with darker streaks down its back, black nose, and golden eyes.) Married to John. Combat Mount is an Elite Battering Ram called Basher.
I hope everyone enjoys the artwork. There's a lot more of everyone on my Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=23281087

Concept AI art for Fylreh!
I've been getting a lot of art for the series on my Patreon site here: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=23281087I decided it would be nice to share some of the pictures like I am on Facebook on my blog. I hope you enjoy:
To go with all of the other fan art that's been being posted, this is some of my own play time trying to get something that represents my vision of Fylreh. I'll be adding images that show her Centaur parts but initially, I'm only showing the "waist-up" shots I've done.
Normally, I never wanted actual images of the main characters from the series. I didn't want to mess up anyone's inner vision of how she looks, so hopefully, I'm not making a mistake by doing this. I'd be interested in hearing what you think about it.
I'll also be posting other concept art from other fans that have been helping me come up with something cool for Fylreh and showing their versions of how they think she looks like or at least, as close as they can get to it.
Burt has it right that doing an AI image is nigh impossible. Out of all of the various races in my world, I think Centaurs give it the most problem. Nonetheless, I've created several partial and even a whole centaur body. I'll be offering more art as I can because it's addicting trying to get the image the way I want them to look. Especially for Fylreh, since so many fans couldn't understand why Star would be struggling with if he should or shouldn't go further in their cuddling =D
Star's and Fylreh's intimacy is not done by a long shot. I think everyone will like how I pull the scene off when it comes ;)
Character information listed:
Fylreh Ilyrall: Level 50 Centauride Chieftain’s Daughter – female - the oldest daughter of Chieftain – Filly (aka unmarried – not a mare) – chestnut hair and coat, golden eyes, stacked – early twenties – long bow and dual scimitars with an iron-shod shield on back. Arbitrator. Reminded me of young Lagertha from Vikings. Father is Darrix Ilyrall. Combat Pet: Elite Earth Shock Wolf Rocky. Skirmisher Class.

Es ist gerade bei Amazon aufgetaucht. de: February 24, 2023
Woohoo! My Name Is Pat Strokes, book 12 of The World Series is out!
This book really came out awesome. The adventures of Startum Ironwolf and friends in Haldale is a blast. Also, I apologize in advance for the cliffhanger, but it's an awesome way to end the scene and I think you'll agree. I can't wait to hear your feedback on the story. I hope you enjoy it!
Description:
Any hope of holding back the Hobgoblin's invasion force has completely failed, now Ashely, Kyarina, Orion, and their allies must flee or risk their BAMFs falling into the monstrous Demi-Humans' clutches.
Meanwhile, Startum Ironwolf has reached the Gnome city of Haldale. He's just one city away from completing his Battle Mage Class, but only, if he can keep himself out of trouble. Of course, things never seem to go as planned as he meets new friends and enemies.

Woohoo, Buch 9 ist jetzt auf Deutsch als ebook und Taschenbuch erschienen!
Woohoo, Buch 9 ist jetzt auf Deutsch als ebook und Taschenbuch erschienen. Ich hatte ein kleines Problem mit dem Taschenbuch-Cover und werde es aktualisieren, damit es mit dem ebook-Cover übereinstimmt, aber ansonsten ist das neueste übersetzte Buch erschienen. Eine kurze Randbemerkung: Buch 9 war so lang, dass ich das Buch nicht selbst auf Amazon veröffentlichen konnte. Amazon verlangt, dass Taschenbücher nicht länger als 828 Seiten sein dürfen, und beide Bücher zusammen hatten fast 1200 Seiten. Ich habe mein Bestes getan, um die Pause so gut wie möglich zu gestalten, aber deshalb endet die Geschichte auch dort, wo sie endet.
Nichtsdestotrotz ist es eine großartige Geschichte mit toller Action und einem großen Teil Zeven und Zwergenstadt. Buch 10, die zweite Hälfte, ist bereits in der Übersetzung!!!
