Glad you enjoyed the story.  Maybe someday I'll write Artifacts II.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Eventually, someday, RSN*, I'll get around to writing Artifacts II - IV.

Just finished reading it a few hours ago. And I have to say I looked for Artifacts II lol. But that's cool that you have other projects that need finishing first. I love the stories you do they are always very well written and with idea's that often are completely unique in there own right. Keep writing Eric. Your stuff rocks.

Got around to reading this one as well very cool story. I know you've said it on here that this one isn't on deck to be written but just curious do you think you'll follow Andrew as the main character or follow along with the new girl Reba? My hope is Andrew or both character lines diverging to a point as the ring's will becomes more clear about why it's chosen certain people maybe gathering the right kind to fight something who knows, not I. Anyway thanks for the interesting read.

Actually, Artifacts 2 is likely to be written rather soon.

As to the plotlines, the name of the story series is "Artifacts", not "Andrew".  That should be all you need to know about that.

Me too.  Although I'll have to go back and reread the first one, because I haven't read it in years.  But I remember it being good and that I was disappointed that there wasn't the next one forthcoming in short order.  Still...eventually is better than never.

Mr. Storm has already begun posting Artifacts II, however it follows the ring, not the main character.

excellent read!  Liked how you had the main character debate to what he was doing with the magic.  Would recommend to other readers

Would very much like to see more of this storyline. Magic has always been intriguing to me.

... by "short story", I assume you mean a "short novel", since this isn't a "short story" as the term is used in literature...

In any case, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  Artifacts II will be made public at some point in the near(ish) future.

Monthly Donations Target: $700
Received So Far This Month: $58
Received Last Month: $822

Please Note: A $6 minimum donation is required before special access is given as a thank-you gift.
(For more information, please click here.)


If you cannot, or do not wish to, use PayPal, but you still want to make a donation, you can use one of the methods below:

Why Donate?

You may be wondering why you should bother donating to some guy on the internet that you don't know.

I'm not going to lie: I don't really need donations to keep the site running. The site costs me less than $20 a month. Though donation money does go to pay those bills, the primary need is elsewhere.

I am disabled, and live on a fixed income. I also own an old house that is beginning to have "issues". The appliances inside the home also seem to want to break frequently.

On top of that, I live in a place prone to hurricanes, which not only means worrying about the house falling down every summer, I have to worry about being able to handle evacuations and things like that.

The point is, the donations aren't for the site. They're to keep me fed, clothed, and housed, and also allow me a little bit of discretionary spending, instead of having to watch every dime to make sure I don't go over budget that month.


So What Do I Get for Donating?

Not a goddamned thing. Let me be crystal clear: Making a donation does not entitle you to anything at all. Donations are a gift, not a payment for a service or product.

That being said, I do like to say thank you to those who support me. I usually do that by granting special access to the website. What does "special access" mean? Well, not a whole lot, but it means you have extra file formats to download stories in, and it also gives you access to "PRM" content.

What is PRM content? PRM stands for "Pre-Release Material". It is stuff that you are allowed to read before it goes public. How long before it goes public is up to each author that chooses to participate in the PRM system.


In conclusion, if you want to help keep me funded and happy, please make a donation by your preferred method of those listed above.

And thank you in advance.
