About Blackspire
Welcome to Blackspire, home to genuine human-written fantasy fiction and horror by Walt Shuler and E.W. Joyce.
What’s It About?
Blackspire is where you’ll find original short stories, book chapters, and serialized novels from Walt Shuler and E.W. Joyce (Walt + Brad Joyce).
It’s mostly about sharing creative works, but I might slip in some Buddhist thought or gardening-related stuff here and there.
You can learn more about all of that in my Start Here page or check out the Table of Contents.
It’s weird that I need to note this, but everything you’ll find here is 100% human-written with no help from AI.
Who’s Walt?
I’m Walt, a 17-year veteran freelance writer and author.
My time is currently split between writing The Empire of the Waves Cycle (book 1 is being published as a serial here) and The Phoenix Meridian (book 3 is currently in progress).
When not writing, I’m reading, gardening, playing D&D, or running.
What Can I Expect from Blackspire?
You can expect creative fiction mostly. A Dread Tide Rising publishes every Monday. Other stuff is more sporadic.
What about fees? There’s no subscription fee or paid tier here.
Blackspire is and will remain free to read, at least for the foreseeable future. If you want to contribute to the care and feeding of the author, you can buy me a beer.
Note that my books will not be free (details on pricing and availability to come).
