We had a busy weekend. I didn’t do any writing. I’m kind of at a crossroads with The Doomed Prophet. I had some ideas that will make the book even darker and more satirical, but I feel like writing something dark. It will also make the project bigger, which may…
I was working on The Doomed Prophet WIP and had thoughts a long the lines of… This is too over-the-top stupid. No one would actually run a society like this. And then I went to a news site to figure that yes, some societies do actually run like that and…
Another Ebookaroo was sent out today! In light of *waves hand at political world climate* it might be a good idea to point out that not only am I not in the US (in case you’d missed that fact), but the Ebookaroo has an international focus. Ever since publishing was…
Let’s talk about books again. Everyone else is already talking about politics. It’s about finishing things. A few days ago, a writer in my social media feed lamented a lack of sales, that they were doing everything they could, but couldn’t see themselves ever climbing out of the hole. There…
Boycott. So we’re not supposed to buy anything today, especially not from Amazon. (I don’t actually have a valid Amazon account. I “boycott” Amazon 365 days of the year) I doubt boycotts of this nature achieve a lot. If anything, this one achieves a buttload of complaining from authors that…
Today I am speechless. Besides plugging a long with the audio (needs to be done by November so I have a lot of time), I’m finding it hard to concentrate. Day after day of deeply disturbing news aimed at wearing everyone down. Making people tune out, whether that be individuals…
The Ebookaroo went out today. I’ve heard many writers complaining about their sales. Those complaints usually centre around Amazon, and since apparently there are all kinds of actions and boycotts going on, it’s easy to conclude that those are responsible for the dip. The narrative then becomes: don’t cancel your…
OMG, this video. The level of subtle resistance. Look at how stunned the people in the audience are. They get it. Life imitates fiction. Years ago, I wrote a whole novel based on something similar. Heir’s Revenge, the fourth book in the Return of the Aghyrians series is based on…
I finished narrating Fairy Bread*. It’s a ridiculous romp with a good number of hilarious characters. Apart from the main character, the hapless, middle-aged gay widower Perrin and Dorella, who owns the shop underneath where he lives and whose dainty tea shop belies her intimate knowledge of the town’s gossip,…
I’m getting to the end of the audiobook of Fairy Bread and have also put up Iron & Rock for preorder or sale on my website. You will only get the special illustrated edition on my website. On an entirely different subject, I cannot even *believe* the level of betrayal…
