    I just read perilous Waif. It was great. Saw many of the same sort of thoughts as ignition. Do you and Alivaril know each other or are fans of each other's work?

    No, I think we've just read a lot of the same futurists and SF writers. I've seen Ignition, but I wouldn't say it had any particular influence on my own work.

    I read your books over the Christmas holidays. I enjoyed them and can't wait for the next ones.

    That said, the plot twist in Perilous Waif was visible a mile off once the Kami War was discussed.

    I looked at Perilous Waif but it seems like it's the first book in it's series but not the first in the verse or time line. Can you lay out how you books go so I know which is the first to read? I hate trying to read a book only to fine out it's book two and I ruined myself for book one.

    Perilous Waif is the only book I've written in that setting, so read away. Anything else I write in that universe will either be a sequel, or a completely different storyline intended to be read after this one.

    I'm trying to buy it but it seem to want me to get a kindle unlimited subscription before I can get it. Is it sold any else were I can get just the book and nothing else? Or would I need the paperback?

    It sounds like you're clicking the wrong button. Amazon tries to get people to buy Kindle Unlimited, but it isn't necessary - there should be an option to just buy the book and nothing else.

    Do you have any recommendations for stories which blend fantasy with more realistically handled feudalism like yours tend to? I've been craving more seriously handled feudalism of late and been disappointed by a lot of stories making it practically Disney style.
    i just finished all four of your books, cant wait for the next one.
    Are you already working on a new book or are you taking a pause after Perilous Waif?

    ....Shaper has a Book! Books even!
    *goes and checks google for said books*
    ....wait a second! i recognize that one! Awesome!
    *goes and buys rest of them*

    Seriously though, loved the book when i first found it... but lost the account i bought it under when my ipad died and couldn't remember the name of who wrote it.
    So finding the book again AND discovering more just made my night. :D

    I just finished your 3 Daniel Black books. They were everything I could want for a harem story and more beside.

    Like almost every other post on your wall, I just binge read your fimbulwinter books. Good stuff man, you are literally the only author I've bothered to Follow on Amazon.

    Bought Fimbulwinter. I read the first six chapters on fictionpress first, not sure if you realized you had those up there. It's quite good. A little wish fulfillment, but still quite interesting.

    I've considered creating a discussion thread before, but I've never been sure if there's enough interest in this community to make it worthwhile. Not to mention that if we started talking about the harem stuff on SB or SV I'm sure the mods would come down on it.

    Heh well selfishly I want to talk about it but a series of profile posts is kind of awkward. The whole series was really good though. I ended up spending a day just looking for anything similar unsuccessfully.

    Half my immediate thoughts is on how to build a bigger self sustaining city with the same footprint though.

    I could start the thread here, you're right that it probably wouldn't get a huge amount of interest, but it's not like there's a limit to number of threads on the forum.

    Might be more appropriate if you started it though.

    I am adding one or more of your stories to the Story Only NSFW Worm Idea Thread.

    Currently, your story post exists as a quote leading back to the original post. If you would like to post it yourself you're welcome to. Or if you'd rather your work not be included, let me know and I will remove it.

    Thanks for letting me know. I don't plan on touching any of those stories again, but i certainly don't mind having them archived along with the others from that thread.
    Just finished Fimbulwinter, really liked it. Is there a sequel coming?
