Book 4 Early Access: Chapters 14 & 15
Two chapters this month! Rejoice! ٩(^ᴗ^)۶Chapter 14 isn't particularly short, but I felt like pairing them together because what the heck, there won't be many early access chapters left! That's right: Samurai of Hyuga Book 4 is currently in publishing! That said, there's still lots of weeks left for all the copyediting, save import testing and Apple marketplace bullcrap to delay it further.Another reason I wanted to bundle cha...

SoH Artwork: Book 4, Part 9
Tombs and...trees?!Things are getting lit (and unlit) up in here, thanks to the wonderful illustrations by Dana Sanguir (website, instagram)! There's not a whole lot I can say about these pictures without spoiling everything, but I can say that they fit very well in their scenes! There's definitely a skill involved when it comes to knowing when and where illustrations work best. One day I might learn it! ^o^)>Chapter 20 Art: "Tomb (Li...

Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 13
It's time for some Fun & Games! There's a lot I like about Chapter 13, but what I enjoyed the most was (finally) being able to implement a choice made waaaay back in Book 1. It really makes the scene feel different. This goes likewise for a choice made in Book 2, where the survival of a certain character changes things!See, Choices Matter™!Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 13

SoH Artwork: Book 4, Part 8
Dabbing and...Teddy Roosevelt in a birdcage?!Things have taken a turn for the weird in Hyuga, and we have Dana Sanguir (website, instagram) to thank and/or blame for it! I love getting the atmospheric stuff illustrated, like we see in Chapter 18's art. It really hammers down a scene's tone to readers! In this case, that tone is: WTF?And Chapter 19's art shows us some very...interesting characters to say the least!Chapter 18 Art: "...

Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 12
It's a rough day for the self-employed here in the US (Tax Day), but at least we've got a new early access chapter to soften the blow! Speaking of taxes though, the amount I owed the IRS this year was the nearly the same amount this Patreon made me in 2018. That's how important and thankful I am to all you patrons! Trust me: owing the IRS money is NOT a situation you want to be in!As for Chapter 12, if you're following along on th...

Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 11
Chapter 11 may feel a little short (that's what she said ⌣́_⌣̀), but trust me under the hood its not. Half or more of the chapter changes based on whether MC is attracted to men or women—yep, it's one of those kind of chapters!Though there's a bit of romance it's really more of a comfort scene for both MC and Junko/Jun. This chapter also introduces the first <Author's Warning> of Book 4. Though I may add more later, th...
No Side Story for April
Well, nine short stories in a row isn't too bad! Unfortunately I won't be able to make it ten: the writing for Book 4 is at the final chapters, and I really need to focus on them before everything else. I want to make sure they turn out 100%!The side stories will continue in May. If you are an intermediate patron, I'd recommend going down to a dollar in the meanwhile. I want to make sure you're getting your money's worth, afte...

I can't tell which is scarier: the wolf-dog or the shrine maidens!

Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 10
Special bonus this month!Chapter 4 has been updated with an aside at the start of the chapter. I highly recommend diving in their just to give it a look. It has some big story implications, which was why I wasn't able to release it until now. Hope you enjoy it!Now onto Chapter 10, which has my favorite chapter name in the book: Ronin on Ice!Book 4 Early Access: Chapter 10
