1. Sinners Chapter Two: "There's nothing to be afraid of," will be out to the beta testers at the end of this month (January). Once the demo has gone through those edits, I will be releasing the demo to Patreon (go to #3) members. They will have one week of early access before the public release. I am estimating the public release to be the last week of February. Fingers crossed.

2. Because of this launch, I am clearing my inbox of the story drabbles. I apologize, but those sort of prompts and small stories will be a lot of the Sinners monthly content on Patreon. I will not be deleting the list here, but if you want more..

3. So, my Patreon. I will be launching my patreon "veswrites" in the next couple days. It will have 3 tiers for now: $2, $5, and $15. All of them will have access to the Sinners early access link. I have been back and forth on starting a Patreon for many months now, would I be able to create enough content, would anyone be interested, etc... but even if I have just one member, the urge and the push to create will help me a great deal in the long run. This is truly what I love doing, even with having to learn how to code.

4. Let's talk about @mannaheim-if . I've changed my plan from posting chapter by chapter for this WIP like I am doing with Sinners, and instead I will be releasing the story in its entirety for a very small fee (probably around $5). I will be working on it with Sinners concurrently, but after Chapter One is released that's it. Unless you're a top tier Patreon member, where the link to the Manna-Heim WIP will be updated gradually, chapter by chapter, when ready. The other tiers will also get MH content such as sneak peaks and material on side characters. I am actively looking for an artist to do some character art for this WIP! So if you know of someone or are that someone, I would love to talk.

That was a lot and I know I've been absent for awhile, but I hope you will stick around to see these two interactive stories come to fruition and maybe even see some others. 2022 was a very rough year for me, but I am looking forward to a much greater and brighter 2023 for me and for you :)

Skål.

I'm going to be totally honest - I have been feeling like shit. I made it almost three years without getting sick, and all of that time and every stupid illness I missed out on caught up to me this week. Perfect timing, of course.

Knowing I wouldn't be able to resist working on any bugs or editing the beta testers sent, I haven't given them a copy yet to force myself to rest, BUT, now that I am feeling one thousand x better and my weekend is coming up I am very excited for you all to see Grey again. Meet? See?

To assure you all that I am keeping the promise of the update this month, here is the link to my Patreon page :) There are two tiers. A third will be added when the Manna-Heim WIP is pushing onward and that tier will be allowed access.

Thank you for your interest! It still is, but the author had a lot dumped on their plate this past year and unfortunately my writing has taken most of the cuts. I’m still working on all of my projects, but to be completely open this one has been on the back burner for awhile.

Happy April Fools' Day!

This is not a joke, however, this is the link to the prologue demo. Enjoy :)

Pronunciation: IN-geh-mahr EYE-nars-son

Meaning: "famous god"

Age: 27

Height: 6'4"

Transgender man (he/him)

Thorin is quite stubborn, and can come across as as blunt, callous, and cold to the people around them (everyone but the MC of course ;) ). But he loves deeply, is loyal to a fault, and will kill for his loved ones.

Eydis's calm, nurturing spirit is very much at odds with the world she lives in. You wouldn't notice at first as she's also very honest - her Viking blood comes through in her curses and coarse speech.

Sigurd hides a lot of sadness behind a quiet smile. But through his walls lies a friendly, compassionate, and genuine heart. He's reserved at first, but give him some time and he will find himself.

Björn is loud with a lot of energy and matches Eydis's coarse mouth. The quintessential Dane savage the English countrymen fear. Don't mistake him for all brawn and no brains, though.

Æsc doesn't have Bjorn's loudness, but don't mistake their quiet for passivity. Their sharp tongue and quick wit has earned them both friend and foe - they're no longer a meek monk.

Majida is serious and tough - the type who almost never smiles. She never backs down from a challenge, and isn't afraid to follow up her words with the edge of a blade.

?? hotheaded and his stubbornness matches Thorin's. He hates dishonesty and dislikes people who break their oath or throw away their loyalty. He is a Viking to the bone.

Frode is reserved and his intimidating presence often puts people on edge. He’s lost the softness and kind spirit he had as a child, although he still had your mother’s never-ending patience. Just don’t risk reaching the end of it.
