Well, that's it. I think I'm done? Hidden Dishes 5 is finished. I'm not happy with the ending, needs a little more finessing but that's what edits are for. First draft finished!

Trying to set-up a new PC and realising it might not be able to do what I need, because I'm missing the power cable and it isn't charging like it's supposed to off just a USB-C. *grumbles*

Just got my Overdrive report, and I have to say - please do remember to keep requesting our books in libraries. Especially the new trad editions of the First Step and the First Stop (and preorder the First War)! We have exclusive short (really, around 10k each!) stories in the paperback editions.

The first arc of A Thousand Li is right around the corner from a complete release. Books 1 and 2 are out in the world, with Book 3 coming in November! You can get books 1 and 2 at any major book retailer, and preorder book 3 on Starlit Publishing's website!

Finally! After we cancelled the release for Aeres Academy last year and then reinstated it, the preorders stalled out at a much, much lower level than when we cancelled it. Now they're (finally!) beginning to move, with less than a month away. My latest LitRPG series is nigh! amzn.to/3RQSP19

You can now preorder The First War, the final book in the first arc of the A Thousand Li series. If you're excited for it, preordering is one of the best ways to support the series. Every preorder helps build momentum, boosts visibility, and makes it easier for new readers to discover A Thousand Li

Reading a work about a cultivator prodigy, and every time there's a fight scene, they throw me out. Mostly because it's clear the author has never been in a real fight in his life and doesn't understand them. Especially how fast it can end if you are going for lethal shots.

Don't forget that the First Stop, the second book in the A Thousand Li series, re-released by Ace Books, is out now! You can grab it at your favourite major retailer that sells books.

TBR Con starts today! A reminder that this FREE, all-virtual sci-fi, fantasy, and horror convention is streaming LIVE through August 1, 2026. I'll be on a panel on July 31, and there are tons of great sessions happening throughout the week. Hope to see you there! #tbrcon

The original System Apocalypse covers are being retired soon! New ones are on the way. If you've been collecting the originals, now's the time to finish your shelf!

Spent 2 hours already in the car, driving back and forth. Have had less than 4 hours sleep, and have to do editing and writing. This is either going to go really well or terribly. I'm leaning towards terribly and taking the rest of the day off.

Still recovering from the convention, ending up doing naps in the middle of the day just to keep functional. Ugh. I hate cons sometimes

Well this is a rather nice review of the First Stop. Much money than I expected and love the way that review the exclusive short story. www.gamevortex.com/gamevortex/s...

We bought a hand grinder for our coffee beans because finding a coffee grinder that had a separate chamber for the grinds that was electric and did not cost hundreds was impossible it seems. You would think it would be easy.
