Vorcalix
Word Count (14 December 2025): 31,131
They set out to kidnap a rich kid. They grabbed a princess instead.
Korvira, Crown Princess of Vorcalix, was enjoying a rare day among her people—until a moment of chaos ended in her disappearance. The crew meant to snatch a textile heir. But when one of them recognized Korvira, everything changed… and now they’re in way over their heads.
Because someone will come for her. And they should pray it isn’t him.
When word of the abduction arrives, there’s only one team the King trusts with his daughter’s life: Shepherd Security Services. Led by Alex Hawke, the crew must unravel the truth, outpace planetary politics, and find Korvira before the galaxy’s most dangerous rescue mission becomes a funeral.
Meanwhile, the long-awaited launch of the Magellan begins a search for something lost to a coffin ship’s fried datanet: Earth.
A kidnapped princess. A desperate mission. And a galaxy about to remember why you never cross the Shepherd.
Vorcalix delivers high-stakes action, layered intrigue, and the search for a former home.

4:03am I recently updated the word count of Vorcalix on the home page. I'm making steady progress... not as much progress as I'd like but it's steady. I'd say I'm still good to have most of it written by the end of the year, finishing completely somewhen around...

2:01pm It has been an interesting couple of days. I started December kind of strong on the writing front, but a couple things conspired to de-rail my progress. I can't remember if I've posted about discovering the proximity of the Generac to the HVAC was a serious...

3:30am It's been a little bit since I posted here, and I should probably schedule this post to go live after the newsletter I'm going to schedule for today goes out... but I'm not. I have two pieces of news, and I'm not sure which is more deserving of being "the...
30 October 2025
7:32pm I finally remembered to update the Current Project section of site's homepage. Are they still called homepages? Or am I showing my age? Anywho... As I might have said in my previous post, I'm taking the rest of October off in the hopes that dedicated relaxation...

7:09pm I sent out a newsletter last night. I'll get to why a few lines down. I just finished spending about an hour deleting all the recipients whose email address failed. By far, the vast majority of those were some flavor of "the mailbox is full and cannot accept...

1:35am Yeah... we're far enough past midnight that I'm not even considering trying to fudge the post date/time on this one. 🤣 It's been a little over a month since I last posted. In that time, I've made nice progress on Torvalin, which you can see on the Home page....

11:29pm A while back, I mentioned that I was giving LibreOffice a try to replace Microsoft Office. I now consider that experiment to be a success. Aside from Microsoft Teams, I no longer have any Microsoft software installed on either my MacBook or my gaming box......

11:58pm This week has been interesting. I completed a project that has been eating at me for a while. Our Generac generator came with a wifi module, and when we bought it, my Wifi network wasn't what I wanted, so I never connected the generator to it. Two years later,...
6 September 2025 – Site Construction
5:56pm I didn't sit here and watch the clock spin, just so I could begin this post at this time. I swear I didn't. That doesn't mean it doesn't make me chuckle, though. Right, then! So, I've hinted around at this in previous posts (I think), but I'm consolidating...

11:59pm Yes... once again, I'm using Webmaster Fakery to say that I'm writing this on September 1st, when in fact it's fifteen minutes past midnight. I'm sure you're shocked and aghast. I will wait for the feeling to pass.Right, then... I've made some great strides on...
