Daughters of Tengeriin Khatan is finished and looking for beta readers!

100k words exploring sisterhood and leadership in an all-female Mongol themed mercenary company that does whatever it takes to get the job done. Even if it means letting go of the past.

Contains violence, language, and sexual situations. As well as humor, character growth, and a giant lesbian with an axe!

#Reading has been around for centuries. It will survive tiktok. Shut up.

Shit. Another one down.

That moment when you google search a band you forgot about and the first result includes "controversy".

It's official. The #Army is going to teach me to fix helicopters.

I know I have some erotic models among my mutuals, so: would any of you be interested in posing as the Norse goddess Freyja in a photo for a semi-public post (pay-walled but anyone can sign up) to illustrate one of my stories?
Ideally, you have some feathery accessory to invoke her falcon cloak, i.e. a feather mask.
It is a sapphic story, so a second femme person would be cool if I can afford it.

An interesting experience I was glad to have. An impressive feat of design. A lot of cool ideas.

But the hyperbole is just that. My life is unchanged. I am not now afraid of the dark. I have not been driven insane. And it was a surprisingly easy, if not straightforward, read.

But I failed at the most key aspect of the experience - being seen reading the book. Because the cult around HoL is more about in-group performance than the book itself.

But the horrors of artillery only begins there.

Grape shot and canister shot - lots of tiny cannon balls fired at once. Like a big shotgun!

Chainshot - two pieces of shot linked by a chain. Good for ripping apart ships...and people!

Red Hot Shot - super heated cannon balls! Ouch!

And sometimes...you just shove a bunch of random shit in there. Glass. Nails. Bits of metal. Whatever you've got on hand.

Exploding shells did exist, but their shorter range and somewhat unpredictable nature made them less useful than standard solid shot.

Typical cannon balls did not explode. They skipped across the ground, destroying everything in their path. And that's much worse.
