Day 76: Now that I have finally finished the album and delivered it to Murphy, he’s promised to take me home, but it’s taking longer than I was hoping it would. So I’ve been using the time to do some thinking. Something good did come out of this whole affair, after all. I found out something […]

Save the Dragons Foundation : Hunting Dragons

Day 75: It took a few days to get the loot sorted out, and everything squared away on whatever world we were currently. Gus and Jenny seemed to be jockeying for Murphy’s right hand “man.” I didn’t want to take sides, but I’d know Gus a bit longer. Plus, he was the one who had kidnapped […]

Dragons Are Real : Hunting Dragons

Day 70: We spent the night hovering outside the cave, waiting in case the dragon tried to slip out in the darkness. At dawn, a great rush of warm air sighed out of the opening. I surreptitiously wiped a tear from my eye, because I was sure what that must mean. I bent my head for […]

Dreams of Dragon Hoards : Hunting Dragons

Day 69: Everyone was fairly hung over this morning, but that didn’t stop us shipping out at the crack of dawn. Gus was back, like he’d never been gone. I tried to talk to him, but the dragon was making everyone crazy, and no one had time for anything but work. The hunt was absolutely terrifying. […]

The Lair : Hunting Dragons

Day 68: I can't believe I've been captured by pirates for more than two months. It feels even longer. I wonder if time is passing the same way at home. There's a possibility that it isn't. Maybe Gwen doesn't even know that I've left…or at least thinks I’m running errands or something. That would be awesome! […]

Take It In Stride : Hunting Dragons

Day 65: I can’t face Murphy. I’ve been avoiding him since I witnessed the murder in Daltry's office. I just know my eyes would give me away. I have never been good at bluffing. If Murphy was willing to kill to possess the Lady Jean…what would he do to someone who saw the murder? What […]

Ruby Slippers : Hunting Dragons

Day 63: Murphy is champing at the bit. The Lady Jean is finished except for the final touches to the décor. Murphy wants that ship so badly I can taste it. Murphy has taken to sitting in his cabin with a bottle of rum and a bad mood. I surprised him yesterday when I took him the latest […]

Jupiter’s Fancy : Hunting Dragons

Day 59: Andrew and I continue to try and figure out what it is that Murphy is hiding. What device is so important that Murphy is willing to sacrifice the Lady Jean for it? I’ve been poking around his cabin when he is out, with Andrew on lookout, but we’ve found nothing out of the ordinary. So, […]

The Lookout : Hunting Dragons

Day 58: “Andrew” and I walked into what was left of Murphy’s cabin on the wreck of the Irish Stout. I was a little nervous. The deception Andrew’s been living under could get her in a lot of trouble if she’s found out. Pirates live by a Code—and they can be an unforgiving lot. Just look […]

He Is A She : Hunting Dragons

I finally ordered physical CDs for Pirates vs. Dragons. Right now, I am tentatively planning an official CD release of the album in July 2016. The exact date is TBA. In the meantime, you can now enjoy the full Steampunk adventure journal from my captivity. The Pirates vs. Dragons eBook is now available on Kindle. In […]

The Lady Jean : Hunting Dragons

Day 34: There’s an old saying among sailors: Red sky at night, sailors' delight. / Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. Well, last night, when I dropped into my bunk, it was a beautiful evening with not a cloud in the sky. But, when I woke up this morning, it looked like we were […]

Sailing a Sea of Blood : Hunting Dragons

I am happy to announce I finished stage one of the Dragons vs. Pirates CD. That means all of MY parts are now recorded! That's HUGE because I wasn't hoping to do that  in August so I could release the album to my Kickstarters in October. Obviously, that's not happening. Right now, I hope to […]

Working on Pirate Songs (and Dragon Songs in Secret) : Hunting Dragons

It's been a while since I last published the Dragons vs. Pirates podcast. It's time to get off my arse and finish the job I started. The album is slowly proceeding forward. Over half of the songs are now recorded for the album. The latest was a Murphy shanty called “How Do We Steal From […]
