Song of the Week

Darling Violetta, “Sanctuary” (theme from Angel)

It’s Monday again.

There are things happening in blog-land this week! First, I’ll have the latest chapter of Journey to the Water available here on Wednesday. Patreon supporters could read it a week early, so if that’s something that interests you, it’s only $3 a month!

Special thanks to Brooke Miller, Stephen Crane, Lili Crane, Jane McCreedy, and Chelsea Cheveria for supporting me on Patreon and making my work possible. I can now afford my meds on Patreon alone, which is pretty cool.

Speaking of Patreon, I’ll be holding a special Patreon Livestream this weekend! I’ll be playing a game and chatting with viewers about fantasy tropes and whatever else you want to talk about. It’s also great background entertainment for your holiday baking. I’ll have more details later this week as I finalize my schedule.

I’ll also be on Twitch tonight and possibly Saturday night, pending holiday prep.

Line edits for Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea are continuing. I’ll update you all when they’re done and let you know my next steps toward publication!

As always, thank you for reading, and have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Jen Titus, “O Death” (traditional, from Supernatural)

Happy Monday! I hope you are safe and warm wherever you are. We’ve had our first snowfall here. It didn’t accumulate much, but more is coming.

This week, I’ll have the next chapter of Journey to the Water available on Patreon. I’m planning on a Patreon Livestream soon as well, so stay tuned for updates on that. It’s only $3 a month, and you get livestreams, early chapters, and some other bonus content that’s in the works.

The Tea and Sidequests Channel will be streaming Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice tonight at 6pm US Central time.

Also, an update: I am partway through rewriting the last chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea! I’m hoping to finish up today, and then do final edits this week. I should have a release date soon!

Thanks for being here. Have an excellent week.

The Paul Schwartz Project, “Addio”

Happy Monday.

So, I looked it up, and I am writing to you from (stolen) Potawatomi land. It’s a good thing to know.

The latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on Wednesday, so check back here soon!

There are two days left for my NaNo challenge. Whether I finish on time or not is going to depend on whether or not the booster shot I’m getting this afternoon knocks me flat. On a similar theme, I may or may not be on Twitch this evening, but my streaming partner/husband will be there.

I’ve noticed some new traffic to the blog, so welcome everyone! I’ve set up the layout and color scheme according to what makes sense to me, but if I can make any changes to make reading easier and more accessible, please let me know! Comments are open.

Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Freya Ridings, “Ultraviolet”

It’s Monday again. The wind has turned cold, but injustice pierces deeper than frost.

The Bible says perfect love drives out fear. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that only love can drive out hate. I love my community–my city, my loved ones, my people–more than others hate and fear us, and that is what gives me strength. I hope you can also find strength in the long winter.

I’ll have the latest chapter of Journey to the Water up on Patreon this week, and I’ll be on Twitch this evening and Saturday evening playing some games.

I wish you the best this week.

Song of the Week

Poets of the Fall, “Carnival of Rust”

Welcome back!

This week, I’ll have Chapter IV of Journey to the Water up here on the blog on Wednesday, and another update on NaNo progress and how close Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea is to being a Real Book later in the week.

I had a great time talking about vampires with my friend Logan on the Patreon livestream this weekend. I’ll be doing one a month, with different topics and guests.

May your burdens be light this week.

Song of the Week

The Decemberists, “The Crane Wife 3”

Welcome back! It’s Monday again.

This week, I’ll have the next chapter of Journey to the Water up on Patreon. I’m also doing my first Patreon livestream on Saturday, November 13! I’ll be talking about vampire lore from around the real world and the World of Darkness RPG system with a good friend who is a World of Darkness expert. If you want to get in on either of those things, my Patreon is only $3 a month.

I am still committed to keeping blog content free, so Journey to the Water chapter IV will be up here on the website next week.

I’m also participating in National Novel Writing Month this year, and it’s…going. I’m working on a new, improved draft of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea so that it can become a Real Book that you can hold in your hands or on your e-reader, hopefully before Christmas. I’ll post an update later this week!

As always, thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Máire (Moya) Brennan, “Cé Leis”

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween and a good weekend. We had our first trick-or-treaters at the new house, and I feel like I’ve finally achieved Real Adulthood.

You may have noticed the new Directory Post that is pinned to the top of the home page. I hope it helps you navigate around! And if you ever get lost, the tabs at the top will help you find your way.

On Wednesday, the third chapter of Journey to the Water will be available here on the blog! Patreon subscribers were able to read it last week, so if you’re interested in reading chapters early, you can subscribe for just $3 a month. There will also be a Bonus Patreon Livestream, where I’ll be playing Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines and talking about vampire lore, sometime in the next week or two. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.

I’ll also be streaming on Twitch tonight and Saturday night with the Tea and Sidequests Channel.

See you soon, and have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Queens of the Stone Age, “Someone’s In the Wolf”

Last October song, so it’s another spooky one.

Continuing the spooky theme, tonight I’ll be streaming Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines with the Tea and Sidequests channel on Twitch. You can come hang out and chat and talk about World of Darkness lore with me!

In case you missed it, I now have a Patreon. There is currently only one subscription tier, for $3 a month. If you subscribe, you’ll get the next chapter of Journey to the Water on Wednesday, a whole week early. Otherwise, you’ll see it here next week. There are other reasons to subscribe, like supporting an independent creator, bonus content other than new chapters, and Patreon livestreams and a community board. As I create more benefits, I’ll be sure to let you know about them, and maybe I can persuade you to subscribe 🙂

Have an excellent week!

Song of the Week

Rafferty, “Mausoleum”

Maybe I should do a bunch of spooky songs for the remainder of October?

Hello, happy Monday, I’m glad you’re here.

There will be a new chapter of Journey to the Water this week! It will be here Wednesday if I can manage it, or Thursday if I can’t.

I’ll also be streaming on Twitch this evening, playing Moon Hunters.

See you soon! Have an excellent week.

Song of the Week

Fiachra, “Óró Mo Bháidín” (traditional)

Happy Monday! Please enjoy this song, which is an Irish lullaby about a boat.

In case you missed it, the new book is called Journey to the Water, and the prologue and first chapter are available under the Stories tab above. You can also follow this link to go directly to the table of contents.

I’ll be on Twitch tonight playing Valheim, starting at 6pm US Central Time. I’d love to hang out with you in chat, so if you’re on Twitch, feel free to stop by.

Also, this is your semi-regular reminder that comments on all my posts are open. You can tell me what you think of my chapters, or just talk about whatever. I’ll be sure to respond!

Thank you and have an excellent week.
