Tales of the Defender: Volume 4

The fourth print volume of Defender stories is now out. Here's what's inside:

Allan began life poor, and knowing that magic was the stuff of ancient legends. One day he discovers that the magic never went away, and that he has the gift of using magic.

He decides to fight injustice as The Defender, and fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. His wife Nancy joins him as The Moon Spirit. Although she can’t cast spells, she can fight and use the enchanted equipment Allan crafts.

This volume contains the fourth group of five Defender stories. The students of the Defender and the Moon Spirit are becoming Defenders in their own right. They’re using magic to protect the innocent and bring down the guilty, however powerful the guilty might be.

Also out is The Defender Chronicles, Volume 2. This is the ebook edition of Tales Volumes 3 and 4. As I said a while back, Volume 1 will be out later in the summer.

You can find store links to all the Defender works on the Defender series page.

Writing Stats for March 2016

Here's the monthly post about how much I'm writing.

March was a pretty good month for me, except for the part about my allergies acting up as soon as I finished a story and keeping me away from my desk for almost a week. I concluded one story in the Defender universe and plotted and started writing a story in my steampunk universe.

All that means I wrote 171 pages in March. That's about 30 pages less than I could have done. Considering that I was sick for a week, the numbers still come pretty close to where I'd like them to have been.

In April I have my one out-of-town convention for the year. I also don't have a project waiting for me once the one I'm working on is done. I may not get much writing done this month, though I am hoping to work on a plot for the next story. I guess I'll see how the month goes...
