| Hey there! Things just might be turning a few corners. The weather’s getting warmer. I got my second jab. And I got a new book coming out next month. It’s called “The New Players”. They live in a brighter world. But their future is dark. Here’s a preview of its cover with Ed Burnhelt and his ally Tamona facing off against the cyborg goddess, Hekati. It’s part of the promo below and you can also purchase it on Amazon in June. |

| The Unmade Podcast I got into this podcast a few months ago and it is fantastic. Brady Haran, an educational Youtuber, and Tim Hein, his old buddy from grade school, each talk about ideas for new podcasts. But that’s just the frame work. It’s mostly about two old friends joking around with made up sports, spoons of the week, and a glorious number of renditions of the Sofa Shop jingle. Their jolly banter is very much something the world needs right now. Give it a listen. Later by Stephen King Say what you will, but King is a first-rate storyteller. The story involves a boy who can see dead people. King steers into the skid by getting the Sixth Sense comparison out of the way early. Jamie is a great character, and his interactions with both living and dead characters are believable and gripping, especially with a particular mad bomber. The audio book narrator, Seth Numrich, gives a great performance as well, both nuanced and punchy. Check it out. |
