Song of the Week

Queens of the Stone Age, “No One Knows”

I apologize for the video thumbnail staring into your soul.

I’ll have some Bonus Art for you tomorrow on Patreon, and a new page of Last Watch Before Dawn by the end of the week. I’ve just finished the first “chapter,” and we’re moving on to meeting some new characters next.

This weekend, I will be out and about! Story Keepers Books is having their first anniversary sale this weekend, and they’ve invited some local authors to help celebrate. I’ll be there on Saturday from 10 until noon: 7035 W. Greenfield Ave., West Allis, WI.

On Sunday, I’ll be at the final What the Hex for the year, noon until 5 at Dresden Castle on Underwood, Cudahy, WI. Entry is $3, and gets you access to a whole market of artists, craftspeople, and readers, as well as free workshops and performances!

I’ll be back to remind you about these events later this week.

Also, a reminder: paperbacks are still on sale through the end of the year!

A few petitions for today:

Via More Perfect Union: Protect affordable healthcare

Via Avaaz: Free Dr. Abu Safiya

Via Civic Shout: Stop Trump from bombing Venezuela

Via CHN Action: Reverse SNAP cuts

I think that’s all for today. Stay warm, and stop by again soon!

Queens of the Stone Age, “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret”

Good morning!

I spent the weekend at Anime 414, and I’m exhausted, but it was a great time! Hello to everyone I met there!

We now have an official launch date for the Figuratively Speaking Mermaid Tarot Kickstarter: August 30. I’ll be working on the guidebook this week.

Also, tomorrow is the primary election for us Wisconsin folks, so be sure to get out and vote! We’re trapped in a two-party system, but primaries are among the best ways to put a hand on the wheel of power. There are also a couple of referendum questions on our ballot. Here’s a fairly nonpartisan explainer.

Rewrites of Journey to the Water continue. While I’m working on that, I’ll have a fun preview of one of my new projects up later this week, probably Friday.

Petitions for this week:

Via Mercy Corps: Take urgent action to end the hunger crisis in Gaza

Via Win Without War: De-escalate crises in the Middle East now

Via Not Another Bomb, et al.: Kamala Harris, Pledge to Enact an Arms Embargo

That’s all I’ve got for today. As always, I appreciate you. Have an excellent week.

Happy New Year!

I’ll have a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow, and last week’s chapter will be up here on Wednesday. This will be the posting schedule until further notice. Right now, I’m writing them only slightly ahead of when I’m making them available, but I hope to build up a backlog over the next couple of months.

I’ll also be working on The Well Below the Valley a bit this week. In case you’ve missed it, this is a historical, Lovecraftian horror audio drama based on my module for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game system (you can find the tabletop version under the Modules tab above/under the Menu). Let me know in the comments if you are interested in reading the script or would prefer to listen to the eventual audio version without spoilers.

Over on Instagram, I’m doing at-least-weekly, casual one-card readings with a gigantic, mixed-up monster Tarot deck, if that’s something that interests you.

If you have a minute, I’d appreciate you signing this petition: no US weapons for war crimes

Queens of the Stone Age, “I Never Came”

Happy Monday!

I’ll have a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up here on the blog on Wednesday. Later this week, I’m going to be having a new Reader Poll, so be sure to check back!

Not much else to share this week, though this weekend I am going to a talk by Neil Gaiman, who is one of my favorite authors. The event was originally in 2020 and was rescheduled at least twice. I’m very excited.

Have an excellent week!
