Song of the Week

The Cure, “Burn”

Hello friends! It’s May! Still pretty chilly where I am, but spring is here and soon everything will be green again.

There will be a new chapter of Journey to the Water on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up here on the blog on Wednesday.

In case you missed it, the second episode of The Well Below the Valley is available on Patreon! You can see a free preview here.

I think after this week, my life will calm down enough to start streaming on Twitch again and/or doing something else gaming-related; I should have an update on that later this week or early next week.

As always, thanks for being here. If you like what you read, tell your friends about me! And have an excellent week.

Donovan, “Hurdy Gurdy Man”

Good morning! It’s Monday again.

This week, I’ll have the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be posted here on the blog on Wednesday.

I’ll also have the next episode of The Well Below the Valley up on Patreon by the end of this week! This is a Patreon-exclusive project consisting of scripts for 20-minute episodes of an audio drama based on my Call of Cthulhu module. You can see a free preview of the first episode here. If you sign up for Patreon before the end of the month, you can download both episodes for free before I charge everyone on May 1st (Episode 3 will release in late May). It’s only $3 a month, and you get to read all chapters a week early in addition to Patreon exclusives like this one.

In other news, Twitch streaming will probably start again next month. I will keep you posted.

Thanks for being here! Have an excellent week.

VAST, “Take Me With You”

It’s Monday. It snowed last night where I am, and I don’t think I’ll ever recover emotionally.

It may be hard to believe, but I am finally caught up on writing chapters! That means that the next chapter of Journey to the Water will go up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will make its appearance here on Wednesday.

I’ve gotten a couple of reviews for Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea! If you’ve read it, would you mind leaving a review wherever you bought it? You can read more about my stance on reviews here, but the short version is: you’re not obligated, though I would appreciate it, and I won’t come after you for being honest. You can also just tell your friends about it! Even in this digital age, I read more books based on word-of-mouth than anything else.

I think that’s it for this week. Stop by again soon!

Fever Ray, “Mercy Street” (Peter Gabriel cover)

Hello again! It’s Monday. I’m happy you’re here.

I’ll have a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow. I’m working on the next chapter of Journey to the Water, and I should be back on the alternating posting schedule next week! Thank you for being patient with me.

I’m doing a challenge on Instagram that focuses on a WIP (work in progress), and of my several WIPs I chose New Moon Door. I made these portraits on Artbreeder and I’m very proud of them:

Two sepia-toned portraits showing half a face each: a white man with dark hair, a beard, and a strong jawline and a white woman with dark hair and a thin face. A red splatter covers the portraits.
Berend and Isabel

I couldn’t put an eyepatch on Berend, so the half-and-half was a compromise. I might make some Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea / Journey to the Water portraits later.

I think that’s it for today. Have an excellent week, and stop by again soon!

Matthew and the Atlas, “Out of the Darkness”

Happy Monday! I hope it looks like spring where you are, because it sure doesn’t here.

This week, I’ll have the latest chapter of Journey to the Water up on Wednesday. I’m working on the next chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, and that will be up on Patreon when it’s finished.

In case you missed it, the first episode of The Well Below the Valley is available for download on Patreon only! Click here for a preview and more information.

I’m doing a writing challenge for the month of April over on Instagram, if that’s a thing that interests you. It will feature snippets of The Book of the New Moon Door and some fun images.

I think that’s it for this week. Thanks for stopping by!

Joe Hisaishi, “The Legend of Ashitaka”

It’s Monday again. Hi.

If you missed the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, it’s available at this link (or just scroll down from here on the home page). All the chapters are available under the Stories tab above.

Things are happening this week, mostly on Patreon. Tomorrow, the next chapter of Journey to the Water goes up. That one will make its appearance here on the blog next week (Wednesday, April 6). On Wednesday of this week (March 30), the script for the first episode of The Well Below the Valley will be available for download on Patreon. This one won’t be available on the blog, so if it’s something that interests you, sign up for Patreon! I’ll talk more about it here on Wednesday.

Streaming on Twitch will resume soon, but probably not this week. I’ll let you know when I have news about that.

Thank you to everyone who sent good thoughts about Odin. He was the most loved.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Vienna Teng, “Green Island Serenade”

This was Odin the cat’s favorite song. I worked second shift for a number of years, while my husband worked 8-4, so Odin and I would spend mornings together listening to music. This song always got him to relax and come sit on my lap before I left for work. I played it a lot for him these last couple of weeks, as his health declined and he was anxious and uncomfortable.

I am slowly adjusting to his absence. Solaire, my younger cat, is helping, but he’s an independent boy and isn’t as snuggly. As I write this, he’s on top of the cat tree in the next room, looking out the window for rival neighborhood cats.

The latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will be up on the blog on Wednesday. I am working on the next chapter of Journey to the Water and the first episode of The Well Below the Valley for Patreon, but I missed a lot of working days last week while Odin needed attention. They’ll be ready soon. Thank you for being patient with me.

I wish you many hugs this week in honor of Odin.

Takénobu, “Shady Grove” (Appalachian folk song)

Hello again. It’s Monday.

Not too much happening this week: there will be a new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow. I’m also working on the audio drama script I wrote about last week. If you’ve got an extra three dollars a month and want to support what I do, now is an excellent time to sign up for Patreon. If you sign up before the end of the month, you’ll get the first episode of The Well Below the Valley for free, as you won’t be charged until April 1.

I should be back to something resembling a regular posting schedule next week.

Afro-Celt Sound System, “Release”

It’s Monday again. I hope you are safe and warm, wherever you are.

I don’t have a new chapter for you this week, but the latest chapter of Journey to the Water (which was released on Patreon last week) will be up here on Wednesday. If you haven’t read the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door, you can find it here.

I’ll be giving New Moon Door chapters names to make them a little easier to navigate, so keep an eye out for that. I should also be able to announce a new, Patreon-exclusive project later this week! Regular chapters should resume next week.
