Soundtrack for book 6 in my Resident Witch series - Polka Never Dies

Song #1

We clearly don't belong here. We're an off-key four-note chord in this nice suburban harmony.

The comic is a black-and-white three-panel strip featuring simple stick-figure characters. Panel 1 Two stick figures stand facing each other. The one on the right speaks to the one on the left. The speaker looks concerned or contemplative. Text: "I just can't get my life under control. So from today, I've decided..." Panel 2 The speaker on the right suddenly throws their arms up in joy, smiling widely with their mouth open. The listener on the left continues to watch. Text: "...that from now on it doesn't matter a damn!!" Panel 3 The first listener on the left now raises their arms in excitement, joining in the sentiment. A third, smaller character runs frantically into the frame from the right side, looking wild-eyed and happy. Listener: "My life's out of control too!" Original Speaker: "Woohoo!! We can start a club." Third Character: "My life's NEVER been under control!!!"

From a reddit post discussing ICE moving into Charlotte
I live in Chicago, here are some tips for dealing with the Black and Tans: Keep whistles on you to alert the neighborhood of ICE activities. Distribute whistles if you can. Post signage where people are taken, "ICE kidnapped someone here" is a powerful message. Stand firm in crosswalks or use your vehicle to obstruct ICE movement. Invite friends and family from rural areas to enjoy your cities, show them the only violence there is caused by the federal government. Post signage to alert your neighbor of the ICE activity. Record everything they do. Ask for warrants. They won't have one, but making them admit it is important. If they are on your private property, firmly tell them to leave. Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms. Protests. Protest. Protest. Every delay is a life saved. Remember, people aren't being deported, they are going missing.

The comic shows two stick figure characters. The one on the left has long hair and is smiling, with arms slightly open as if speaking. The one on the right has short hair and is looking at the other character with a neutral expression. Above them, text reads: “In case you ever need someone to eat your chocolate supply, I’m always here for you.” The artwork is signed “heyokyay” in the bottom right corner.

I've received three of those so far. They're pretty hilarious. I guess they chase your blurb and the Amazon preview pages through some AI to create those letters. One of them even got one of my book titles wrong 🙄

Like (so it seems) every other author on the planet, I too am now getting those fake "We Are A Book Club, Honest, Plz Pay Us To Read Your Novel Thnx" emails. These are scams, folks, don't fall for it. Don't engage. Delete & Block!

There’s something wild in Portland’s water! The rare Frogtifa species is multiplying faster than conspiracy theories on Fox News. 🐸 The amphibian revolution is here, and honestly, I’m cheering them on.

The comic consists of four black-and-white panels featuring four round characters with big eyes sitting in a small sailboat on the water. Panel 1: The boat floats calmly. One character asks, “Are we heading for the abyss?” Another replies, “Aye, sure looks like it.” Panel 2: The same characters remain in the boat. One says, “NOW would be the time to act.” Another responds, “Absolutely. Time is short. The abyss is straight ahead!” Panel 3: The boat is very close to the edge of the water. One character says, “We talk too much about the problem instead of actually doing something about it.” Another replies, “I couldn’t agree more.” Panel 4: The boat is tipping over the edge into a dark drop. The characters are falling with it. One says, “Shit.” The bottom corner has the word “heyokyay,” the artist’s signature.

This comic consists of four panels featuring simple stick figure characters. Panel 1: A person wearing a mask steps out of a purple and gray time machine, saying, “Helloooo! I couldn’t stand the year 2020 any longer, so here I am!” Two other people without masks look at them, and one asks, “You’ve come here from the past?” Panel 2: The masked person replies, “Yeah. I made a time machine during lockdown and escaped five years into the future!” One of the unmasked people responds, “That was a mistake.” Panel 3: The masked person says, “I see you’re not wearing masks. Have you conquered COVID?” One of the others sneezes loudly, “ATISHOO!!!” while the second says, “No, but we don’t give a shit about it!” Panel 4: The masked person says, “At least Trump can’t still be in office.” The two unmasked people exchange an awkward look. The comic is signed “heyokyay” along the right edge.

Do your best on Saturday.

Above ALL else stay calm.

It’s going to be so hard.

You’re going to get pissed.

You’re going to want to lash out.

Don’t do it.

Stay together.

Be safe.

If all else fails just walk away.

I don’t want to hear about any of you getting hurt.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

And this isn’t to say we can’t have rich people, because I think it’s okay for people to want to strive for something, but after a certain point it has to be enough. You have to bring everyone else along with you.
