Week 40 of 2024
Greetings all
Another great week here, with the main topic being two things out the door and significant progress in a third thing as well.
Let’s start with the big one. I finished H.Y. Gregor’s Tugarin’s Revenge and it’s charging along it’s editorial path! This is the sequel to Reka’s Grasp (Coming out October 18th), which means three things:
- It’s in Jon R. Osborne’s amazing Milesian Accords series.
- It’s steeped in Russian mythology.
- Niki and Ryan get to fight some awesome bad guys! (Spoiler alert: Tugarin is one of them)
It’s been an honor to be a part of this series, and you will want to get Reka’s Grasp as soon as you can. It’s that good, and Tugarin’s Revenge is even better.
The second thing I finished this week is a fairly large chunk for Okkorim. As usual, I can’t get into specifics, but I can tell you it’s the kind of thing I love to play and DM in D&D. It definitely fits the rule of cool I want for games.
Then I made a bunch of progress in The Feasting of Vengeance. It won’t look like much (only counted up 3,300 or so, but that’s actually a bit deceiving. I cut some section out that may or may not re-appear, but all of it needed to go for now.
If you are a user of the Save the Cat Beat Sheet method, I can say we’re rolling past beat 10 next week, and I’ve already got Beat 11 planned in my head. I even think I’ll get through Beat 12, which will put us in place for the big battle.
I can see the end.
So Tugarin’s Revenge and The Feasting of Vengeance both coming.
What I’m Listening To
Cowboys v. Giants. Been a bad year so far for Dallas, but hopefully they’ll look better tonight.
Quote of the Week
Happy birthday to T.S. Eliot! He’s quite the quote monster, so I could’ve chosen a number of great quotes. I think, however, this one suits me today, especially since I’m in quite the journey right now.
– Those who arrive at the end of the journey are not those who began.

Dragon’s Tidings
I update the website today as we have October’s On Line Shop Hop ready to go!
Didn’t know we participate in an On Line Shop Hop? Well, we do, and there’s a special cool thing if you can find it. The clue is on the front page. Enjoy!

Responsibility of the Fleet is out! This is the 3rd of G. Scott Huggins’ amazing Endless Ocean series detailing the deeds of Responsibility, a half-dragon who came from a tough past to claim her birthright, including her real name: Azriyqam.
And did I mention the upcoming series by H.Y. Gregor yet?
