I wish I could draw even bad art... making these silly A Foul Light Shines magic cards is fun. Maybe I'll make a whole set (and maybe try to make it somewhat balanced?, because the game designer in me wants it to be balanced.

Ok. End of the year going into next year writing thoughts.
1. Its about time to get the final act of AFLS over for editing.
2. I need to finish the rewrite, and edits of Dog Walker.
3. Need to finish the rewrites and edits of Praise the Moon. I've been away from my urban fantasy for too long.

I started with pizza but, because of its nights and weekend shifts. When they didn't give a raise I switched to a grocery store. After college the job market sucked, so I stayed in retail moving up the ladder. Till they closed down the branch I managed. Got a job at a credit union after that.

Glad to be considered a friend! If you can support any of these fine folks, please do. They've all got some great stories to tell.
Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that.
Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Reason #1 why "no cell phone policies" are bad at work. Member passes out and hits her head as she lands... no need to fuss about, just out with the phone, and 911 here we go.

Ya'll... fuck google's A.I. Overview. It convinced one of my members today that she could legally close her savings account. Which isn't possible, because its the share that holds the entire membership open.
Don't take legal advice from A.I. Just don't. Talk to a real human.

Wife... sincerely what the fuck was up with the lightning in this second photo? Nyx looking like "Halp, my owner's part devil" with her dead pan look directly into the camera.

Still thinking about VtMB2... and the absolute disrespect that parent company Paradox published.
It was a shell of a game, that tossed around multiple terms never defined, with no characters or quests linked to its core concepts. Ultimately a letdown years in the making.

It's a little strange how much attention is given to how many players are still playing a game. Especially story driven games. No shit 90+ percent of players have stopped playing. They beat the story...

Hey #maine did you know that Angus King plans to vote to reopen the government and damn the aca premiums fight? Think this is bullshit? Give him a call and an email. We should fight for a better tomorrow, not the fascist bullshit.

I have zero spoons left. Lots of knives and forks though. Hyundai has been perhaps the worst auto company to work with in any capacity.
If you wish to do a small act of kindness for me, go read any of my free stories or buy a book. Dead Mage Walking is free on itch, and AFLS on Royal Road.

I did not enjoy "nobody sleeps in the woods tonight". Zero character focus. Lots of "artsy" shots. A pace that made frozen molasses seem fast. And the inexplicable choice to give an in depth explanation for the monsters origin that somehow still boiled down to magic space rock.
