Sad news I wake to this morning in Ireland, that long time friend @lapeligrosa.bsky.social has passed away after a long stint in the hospital in Seattle. I will never forget you, Tara, your font of ideas, and ability to rally the troops to get things done.

After working on bookbinding stuffs (more on that later), I've been revisiting the sequel to Ancient History... This is me at work with the Story Engine Deck from @storyenginedeck.bsky.social 😁

On Sale! After a night of passion turns into a brutal vampire attack, Conner sinks into the deadly underworld of the creatures of the night. Driven by vengeance, he sacrifices his fading morals in a relentless hunt for the woman who stole everything from him… www.amazon.com/Until-Death-...

And how.

Whose that in the mirror?

I am founding a not-for-profit website where independent comic creators and small publishers can easily sell their works to libraries, plus provide other services. Called (for now) the Comics Librarian Commons, this will be an online hub bringing independent creators and librarians together.

I just found out Merriam Webster's word of the year is Slop.

Did you know I post Purgatory on Mondays? Well, this week we have a lot less text and I return to a classic. www.patreon.com/posts/purgat...

Word of the Day #2 hornswoggle [ hawrn-swog-uhl ] verb to cheat or swindle To hornswoggle is to cheat or swindle, often in a humorous or exaggerated way. This lively Americanism from the 1800s is just as fun to say as it is to catch in action. Don't fall for it!

As promised at 1K followers, I have news! BadBlood is back from the dead! After a nearly 20-year hiatus, I've had the super crazy idea to resurrect my old vampire webcomic! A beautifully creepy, underground vampire story for mature readers. Updates Wednesdays & Sundays! Cheers! badbloodcomic.com

Word of the Day #2 griseous [ gris-ee-uhs ] adjective gray or pearl-gray Griseous is a fancy way of saying something is gray. This word comes from Latin and adds a poetic touch to any description of art, weather, or fashion.

Here is a hint 👀

Only two more to go - and then y’all get to see what I am bringing back from the dead 😎

If I get a thousand followers, I might just come back to life 🤣

As shitty as life can be sometimes and as wild as it is that we are all alive on earth completely by chance and life is just happenstance, there are some pretty amazing things to see and be a part of. And I think that's really neat.

It takes all my will power each day to not rage comment on so many stupid authors who think they are king of turd island telling other authors how to write and or not to write, 90% of which are utter nonsense takes that hurt more authors than "help" There are no rules, just write

Social media is PROBLEMATICAL Tryin' to sell books so can't take a SABBATICAL I'm out here to tout my WARES But all the sites belong to BILLIONAIRES I work hard and that's no LIE But my work gets stolen to feed an AI Doin' my best despite the CROOKS So you know what to do BUY MY BOOKS

Fun fact: England's first lottery was run by Elizabeth I when she was trying to raise money to fight the Spanish Armada. The prize included a Get Out Of Jail Free Card (plus a bunch of riches)! There were limits as to what crimes the card could excuse you of.

Story of my life 🤣

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

The struggle is real.
