Looking for something to read on your phone or tablet? I’ve got 4 chapters up of my current novel, "Red Apprentice," on Royal Road. If you check it out, I’d love to hear what you think — good, bad, or “gimme more!” www.royalroad.com/fiction/1450...

Today's upload is the end of my 1st book, "Red Apprentice." THIS story ends in a chapter titled "The Beginning" because her struggle to be the youngest Mage is the beginning of The Dreamer Book Series! Sign up @ bcwatts.com to be the first to know when Book One drops!

LaTao's Mage Test begins with the worst possible thing an overthinker can imagine... the bane of anyone on 'the spectrum'... Her biggest fear ... an open-ended question. Catch up and prepare for an emotional rollercoaster, because Red Apprentice Chapter 32 is live! (Links in bio)

In the age of "I don't have time to read, if only this were an audiobook," is it a good idea to read my own book and post it in all the places to be listened to for free as an audiobook? Would any of you want to 'read' "Red Apprentice" in audio form?

It's Wednesday! That means Chapter 30: "Mark of the Dreamers" is ready to read! The last chapter was crazy, but those girls are not 'out of the woods' yet... and LaTao's all out of spoons.

Sometimes, the worst time to relax is when you think the battle is over. If you think the shit hit the fan with the LAST chapter, then you & LaTao are BOTH in for a surprise. “Divided by 300” is rough... and it’s ready to read right now! 📖you can find it @ bcwatts.com #RedApprentice #YAFantasy

New Red Apprentice Chapter today! Chapter 21 is called "No Good Deed..." After weeks of trying to hold back, the last chapter put LaTao in a situation where the audience finally gets a taste of the monster within. Can she save her friend, the West Wing, AND keep her secret safe?

Enter a world where status comes from money, might, and magic. In RED APPRENTICE, LaTao pauses her life of adventure to study in a school filled with children of the elite. She can take on magical beasts, no sweating... but can she keep her mouth shut when she knows the answer in class? Link in bio.

New chapter today! I see the numbers. I love that I got some views before I even posted that the new chapter is up. I appreciate the reads, I do... but yall gotta stop making me make the Pam face...

To the 16 AWESOME people who already read Chapter 14: From Coffin to Cauldron... I see you. Thank you for keeping me motivated! But please, do not leave me hanging like Pam here. If you want to see what is behind that door, head back to Royal Road and leave a review!

"Social Chess" Update! In Chapter 13, LaTao can't protect her friends from the High Mage Grand. They each struggle alone as the 'Hall of Ordeals' weeds out the riffraff. Check it out for free! (links in bio) #FantasyBooks #WebFiction #RedApprentice #WeedingOutTheRiffRaff

"Disagree and be friends" works for salad dressing. Ford or Chevy. Philosophy and theology. Yet interestingly, it's usually invoked by those who aren't being targeted or harmed. The statement itself is a revelation of privilege.

Weird how Kanye charges his hip-hop audience $120 for a plain white T-shirt... but charges his racist audience $20 for swastika shirts. Notice how I'm not surprised I'm NOT that a far-right POS is doing racist stuff.

For future reference: Anarchy isn't bad. Anarchy is the best result of a series of selfish, hateful, and often monetary/religious decisions. It's the sound heard after ignoring wounds for centuries... the death of a beast that deserves to die. It's the worry of leaders who don't deserve authority.

I tell you one thing... the toughest part of the publishing process... is the waiting. When you put your all into your book, you can edit over n' over, get beta readers, etc but once an agent says "let me have a look" and the manuscript is sent, you have nothing left to do but wait...

You are up to date.
