Oh, hey. An update.

Here we are after ten months, bringing Mozu and Cordelia and Linebaugh and Olcán’s story to a close. 19 chapters, 504 pages, 157,259 words.

I’m not even entirely sure of what to say at this point,...

How strange to be posting the penultimate chapter, and how strange to see ten months of work coming to an end of sorts. I'd be feeling pretty maudlin right now if this wasn't really more of a...

Y'know, I had a big post all ready to go, but I'm really damned excited, and I think I'll just let this chapter speak for itself. Seventeen down, two (and an epilogue) to go.

As always, I am very...

Giving a shout out to the Tarnished Coast Times for their Thorn plug!

Also, I expect chapter 17 to be posted within the next couple of days, editor willing.

Things are moving quickly now in these final few chapters of Thorn, but even with the ending looming in sight, it’s still fun to point out the milestones along the way.

With the release of...

And back to business.

Chapter 15 feels a bit special--partly because of the reception that Thorn has received as of late, not to mention the ridiculous priase heaped upon it from my editor, as...

First, let me send out a huge word of thanks to everyone who voted for Thorn in GW2Guru’s ‘Biggest GW2 Fan’ contest–you guys really are the best, and the news was one hell of a nice way to start my...

I think there's very little I can say about chapter 14, aside from the fact that it was extraordinarily difficult to write, and I can only hope I've done it justice.

To be honest, I've been...

Unlucky number thirteen.

It would seem that even our intrepid anti-heroes aren't immune to the superstitious portent of doom. All is not lost, however, as with the release of chapter 13, we see...

Here we go--the beginning of the end; the start of the third and final act of Thorn. Chapter 12 is now live.

Not much I can say that reading it won't cover. It's long, as every chapter seems to be...

tl;dr The new prologue is already up now and will probably take most of you about a minute to read. Keep going if you like a good ramble, however.

Yeah, so, I'll be honest here.

I've never...

If someone had told me at this time last year that I'd be close to 300 pages into writing a novel at the beginning of 2013, I'd've laughed.

Yet...here we are. I'm thrilled to ring in the new year...

Chapter ten is now live (finally)!

It may only have been a couple of weeks or so since the release of chapter nine, but ten felt like a tough write, even though I'm very happy with how it's turned...

Chapter nine is up!

In the meantime, chapter ten is shaping up to be long--probably longer than chapter six, which should push this crazy project over 70,000 words, and we’re like…halfway done?...

Chapter eight of Thorn is now live!

With the great feedback from the revised chapter one, I think I'll go back and do a small amount of editing and fiddling with chapter two once I have ten--which...

The long-overdue revised version of chapter one is now live, with plenty of rewrites and edits, bringing it quite a bit closer to, and hopefully up to par with the quality of the later writing. I'm...

What? Chapter seven is live? It most certainly is, and here’s a little extra surprise for ya - chapter eight will be out next week.

Thanks, as always, for the continued support!

Chapter six is live!

Hi, all. Mozu of Tarnished Coast here, guild master of Ghost Company, and chief yahoo behind Bearzu Smash!, home of Thorn, A Sylvari's Tale, a full-length GW2 novel in progress.

Glad to be aboard!

The link below is to my GW2 blog where this is actually hosted in PDF, MOBI, and EPUB format, as it is far, far too long (well over 300 pages by now) for posting on a forum. Also, you can check out...
