Hello Internet,

It is with great pleasure I introduce to you the second edition to my short story "Azure Chase." It has been completely redone with a different plot altogether. If you like stories where the monster/villain is the protagonist, you've got to get your hands on this right now. Also, in honor of this second edition, I'm giving away 5 copies of this book through Amazon (ebook/Kindle Store only). All you have to do is click a button to see if you get the prize or not. No extra work after that. So why not give it a try?

Even though Alexander decided not to replace all the humans with its parasites, simply coexisting with their constricting rules was not the life it wanted. It deserved more.

After waking up from a 13-year hibernation, the alien parasite known as Alexander looked in a mirror and observed its masterfully sculpted, newly transformed human host–it was perfect. Now, this incubus could blend in seamlessly within human society. Normal humans fell in love with it left and right, yet none offered the same wholesome relationship as its late, human daughter had. The truth was, she was well alive, but also its greatest threat. She is the Guardian Knight, leader of the Department of Defense, and her duty is to protect all residents of the Quartz region. Alexander is no exception, although it tries to become one. Its biggest hindrance to reconnecting with its daughter is its insatiable hunger for human DNA.

Will they be able to reconnect or will this tale end in betrayal and death? See how this short story ends by reading this book now.

I'm still working on mostly artwork for my characters, one of which is featured below (it's still just a WIP). However, I am devoting half my time to the full re-release of "Lavender Chase." That one should be coming up in a week or so.

As for the secret projects, they are not nearly close to completion for me to say anything about them yet. Stay tuned.

PS: I've finally managed to fix all the bugs from this morning. The downloadable sample should work nicely now.

Well, as I promised, there would be some updates coming to the website. I've added some thumbnails finally to the older projects, and I should get some for the new ones. They'll be coming once I've gotten them to a good enough place. However, my main goal is still to produce content 90% of the time.

Currently, I've got a series of 6 (maybe 7) short stories I'm working on. They are all Horror/Sci-Fi with some elements of drama (and the occasional humor bits), following an alien succubus that just wants to take down its mortal enemy - the protector all humans, the Guardian Knight. Here's a sketch of "Fred." He's a completely new character to the universe.

It feels good to be in the most productive time of my life. My goal is to finish the "Rose Festival" Board game and the 6 short stories by June. The "Butterfly Kisses" Manga vol. 1-3 should be done by November. Then, I'm circling back to "A Long Journey."

The reason for this is when I started my "A Long Journey," I got some feedback that my artwork wasn't that good and my writing stunk, which, I also kind of felt. That feedback has helped push me to train harder. After those projects are done, I feel like I'll be at a good enough level to which I'll finally be proud of my game.

The even better new is that the platform I've picked to build the game on is going to be super stable and easy for me to work with, instead of building it all from scratch. Not only that, I've kind of found a plot I like for ALJ now. The center of the conflict was between Warrick and Auferre. Why not just start the story there? So that's what my plan is going to be.

So that's the progress update for me. Thank you all for continuing to follow my work. I appreciate every one of you.

Also, short stories are going to be found on Amazon when they are completed.
