Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 10
The squad that showed up in the emergency response team cut their way through the spider silk carpet that was draped over everything in the townhouse. There was a thick blanket of the stuff, on chairs, the tables, hanging from the lighting fixtures, and in every room. It looked like an explosion in a silk … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 10
*News Flash*
It is with great delight that we announce the completion of the third book in the extended "Grundoon Saga."

An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 13
Those Slothjemians that favor the “noble” side of the political spectrum tend to be exactly that; the nobility. More inclined to exercise power that is granted to them by the throne, than to express themselves as powerful individuals in their own right, they are most often associated with the Church and governmental bureaucracy. They view … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 13

Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 9
The wait was far too long for anyone’s liking, but at last Gwenda returned with the only constabulary sorcerer the precinct had. His name was Vonder, and he wasn’t a very charismatic human. In fact he tended to emit the most unholy body odor, and to offend a bunch of goblinoids that was quite an … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 9
An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 12
Slothjemians that are drawn to the “tribal” side of the realm’s politics tend to be more rural in their mindset. They cling to the old ways of goblinoid life, and resist being drawn in to a more humanlike, civilized culture. Leaders in these communities are shamans, witchdoctors, and of course, huntsmen. They are less likely … Continue reading An Orc for All Seasons; Chapter 12

One of the most powerful persons in Slothjemia is the Lord High Chancellor, charged with collecting taxes and keeping an eye on the expenditures for the realm.

Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 8
Josephyne stood out from the motley crowd like a white ermine on a black velvet cape. Her beauty was disturbing. Thigpen couldn’t take his eyes off of her even if he wanted to. She looked human, or mostly so. She didn’t belong here, that was obvious. And the fact that she used this façade to … Continue reading Slothenburg Confidential; Chapter 8
