Song of the Week

Peter Gundry, “The Last Dance”

Hello!

I had a lovely time at both Milwaukee ParaCon and What the Hex, but now I am exhausted. Hello to everyone I met this past weekend! I’m happy you’re here. If you signed up for the newsletter, I’ll be adding your email to my mailing list as soon as I can move the cat off my box of convention things, and the newsletter will go out on the 31st.

I’ll be heading out to Fon du Lac, WI on Saturday for the Fall Spirit Fair! (Link takes you to the Facebook event). In the meantime, I’m working on Journey to the Water. I’m hoping for a November release (probably end of November), and I’ll have a release date for you soonish. Stop back later this week for more updates.

A couple of petitions for today:

Via Rep. Rashida Tlaib: End the occupation, begin the path to peace

Via USCPR: Block $20 billion in weapons to Israel

Via Our Revolution: Tell Biden to stop fueling Israel’s wars

May you have peace and comfort this week.

Song of the Week

Anonymouz, “River” (from Vinland Saga)

Good morning! Happy Indigenous People’s Day!

This week, I’ll be working on the Ring-Fort arc of Journey to the Water, which will put me in the home stretch. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating that I really appreciate your patience.

I’ll be at two different events this weekend: Milwaukee ParaCon on Saturday the 19th, and What the Hex: Season of the Witch on Sunday the 20th. I hope I have enough books! ParaCon is free to enter, but you’ll need to register on their website. There will be speakers (on all sorts of paranormal and spooky happenings around Wisconsin) and a bingo game with lots of cool prizes. What the Hex has a nominal entrance fee (last time it was $3) that includes workshops and a drag show. There will also be henna, tattooing, nail charms, food, and drinks. I hope I can see you at one or both events!

Petitions for this week:

Via Eko: Tell bankers not to do business with companies supplying arms to Israel

Via Democracy for America: Tell Congress to return to DC and pass additional hurricane disaster funding NOW

Via Justice Democrats: Arms embargo now

Via Win Without War: Block billions worth of weapons bound for the Israeli government

As always, I appreciate you. Have an excellent week.

Milwaukee ParaCon (+quick Journey update)

I completely forgot about an event! Brooke and I will be heading to the Milwaukee Paranormal Conference on Saturday, October 19. This will take place at the Irish Cultural and Heritage Center in downtown Milwaukee, and opens at 10AM. Thanks to American Ghost Walks, tickets are free, but you do have to register. You can do that and find more information on their website here.

In other news, I’m plugging along on Journey to the Water. I’m about the start the arc that begins with Chapter LIV: The Ring-Fort (though it will be chapter XXIV in the new draft). I like this arc, but I wasn’t happy with how it turned out in the serial version, so I’m looking forward to making it better. I think right now we’re looking at a mid- to late-November release. I should be able to finish this draft by the end of the month, and after that comes formatting, designing the cover, and a few minor revisions (there’s still one arc I’m not pleased with). I appreciate your patience!
