With the gratitude that accompanies finally having a book splashed across the interwebs that has been trapped in your heart, soul, and mind for far too long, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Already there has been a lot of feedback, and by that I mean, the UPS driver at work lost the … Continue reading Merry Christmas from the Fen

Every Nation Has A Weakness
Folks reading this blog might get the feeling that when Slothjemia was created, way WAY back in the late 80's, it was unbeatable. It has a powerful, professional military, it is politically stable, and has only grown in size since the first players began thrashing about fighting villains (or becoming villains, as the case may … Continue reading Every Nation Has A Weakness
You’d Think They’d Be Used to This By Now
Winter is almost always harsh in Slothjemia, with cold northern winds and heavy snowfall throughout the alpine areas of the country. In the plains it is the ice that causes the most trouble, and after eons of this weather activity, you would think that the natives would have fully acclimated to it by now. You … Continue reading You’d Think They’d Be Used to This By Now
Writing Update… Again
Just a heads up to everyone following this giddy little exercise in literary rambling; we are currently working on finishing up the last of the four books that feature our favorite angry, elderly orc, Grundoon. Last night there was some extensive editing of what are likely the two most crucial chapters in the series, and the … Continue reading Writing Update… Again
That Should Have Read “Chapter 2”
Okay, went back and did a little tweaking on Chapter 2 of "An Orc for All Seasons." And I apologize for now shouting SPOILER ALERT before telling you that Major Hossler is murdered in Chapter 1. Is that really a thing? Do you need a warning about what happens in the first chapter of a book? … Continue reading That Should Have Read “Chapter 2”
Oh sure, NOW you tell me…
First of all, no, I did not catch the typo in yesterday's post until this morning. It is now corrected. Crisis averted. Second, after literally months of asking for feedback, somebody finally piped up last night, suggesting that it wasn't evident from the first moment that Grundoon tossing an officer off of the watch tower … Continue reading Oh sure, NOW you tell me…
Three More Chapters to Go
There are only three more chapters to go in "An Orc for All Seasons", and with the conclusion of the first book in this series, we are eagerly looking forward to the feedback of our loyal readers. Yes, all three of you noble and delightful folks that are immune to the snooze-inducing commentary that is … Continue reading Three More Chapters to Go
Eavesdroppings
There was nothing particularly notable about the Lieutenant Colonel, he seemed in most every way to be an utterly average orc. The army had been his career for his entire life, and while he was not a warrior by any means, there was nothing on his uniform to give away the fact that he was … Continue reading Eavesdroppings
Writing Update
Just a quick note to let folks know that this blog has not yet been fully abandoned. There is of course a rousing chapter tomorrow in the "An Orc for All Seasons" book, but right now the focus is on the development of book four in this series. It is all falling apart into place quite … Continue reading Writing Update
Rogues Gallery
As we have already discussed, Slothjemia has three Paladin Houses. Certainly this represents a small, yet thriving influence for virtue and nobility. One should note, however, that these Houses are relatively new. Much older are the dozens of institutions dedicated to criminal activities. The oldest of such organizations are the families that have an ancient … Continue reading Rogues Gallery
