The Prince of Hearts Prologue - New Novel

 Hello. C J here. I’ve finally got back into the habit of writing fiction regularly after the several years I’ve spent writing cookbooks, learning to draw and reading Unreal Engine documentation about video game design. Thank goodness, I can do my actual job again. I’ve got a new novel in the works and I’m going to be releasing it chapter by chapter as I get it done. I don’t have a schedule for this but at full speed I can write 3000 words a day before I run out of ideas and need a day off.

I think I should mention that this isn’t some horrible imposition on my time or job here. This is what I prefer to spend my time doing. Stories are fun to read and they’re more fun to type. I’ve got almost 20 years of full time professional typing behind me and I know exactly what my style and skills can do. So I purposely do things that aren’t on the list to learn. It’s what I do for fun. The previous two stories I’ve published here took about a week each to write. This one is going even faster.

One more point about the new chapter, everything I write here is actually in the setting. A Song for Summermoon, Five Front Doors and this new one The Prince of Hearts are all in the setting and actually happen on the same year. It’s currently Summer in Ascala, late Spring in Tamaril and whatever time it is in the Astral because the Astral doesn’t have day or night. All of this is fully real in the timeline of the nations and all of this is compatible with the Partnership deal.

The Prince of Hearts is about Blue. Blue is a canine breed of half-wolf, one of the names for wolf shaped animalia. These are all common species in the Astral. Blue is a prince from one of the other nations in the Astral and is currently in Ascala as a trade delegate. He is fully compatible with the Partnership deal, as are the other Ascala characters Balath Regal, Azkail Anion, Ivy, William Youngsun, Benjamin Everwander and more that I haven’t put in a story yet. They all know each other as well. The new story will be novel length and the prologue is out now on the books page.

Announcing Legend - Quantum

 Hello. C J here. I'm announcing today the official tabletop RPG companion to my upcoming video game line Quantum Dragon. The tabletop RPG companion is named Legend - Quantum. I finally get to write something in the Legend series again. I am very happy about this. The Legend series other than this one is done and will be out once its proofread, which may be a while from now. Reliably this series is the best work I've ever done on anything. I'm planning on writing setting and character sourcebooks for the whole game line as well but for now I'm working on the core book for the video game crossover. There's a free in-development copy in the Downloads page now. Have fun. C J Mcpherson

Minecraft Experiments - Steampunk Part One

 Hello. C J here. It's time for more Minecraft. This time we have some steampunk themed buildings. I'm doing these mostly as an experiment and they aren't in the part of the Astral I usually build, Ascala. Ascala needs more planning so I'm doing generic Astral themes instead of a specific nation this time. Remember that lighthouse form earlier? Well we're going in its direction this time. But first a long minecart ride from the underground station. And here we are in Port Stone. You'll notice the style of building is different. That's because it's a different part of the setting were building here. Here on the surface we have a boat waiting for us. We have a long voyage ahead of us. They've implemented some beautiful coral reefs in one of the previous updates. Believe it or not I've been playing Minecraft since before there were horses in it. Minecraft is still good. And here we are, at the new steampunk build site in the middle of an ocean. We h...

My New Favourite Video Game Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’m just going to continue discussing the video games I’m playing for a while. I’m planning out another batch of Minecraft builds while I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. It’s kind of weird that these are job activities for me but they are. The Minecraft builds need to be done so I can learn some more things about level design. The Pokemon game is what I’m doing for fun. At least it was. Pokemon make great inspiration for the work I do and the stories I write. I’m now having to make more time for it. Most of the characters in my setting are inspired by the Pokemon games. Our main characters Ivy, Blue, William and Benjamin are all based on some of the Pokemon in the first three generations. Ivy is specifically a fictitious all black Pokemon. Blue is an all blue togepi, William is a persian and Benjamin is a tauros without the horns. I’m going to get back to drawing humanoid versions of the first three generations eventually. These to my knowledge count...
