Getting stock ready for the Mount Pleasant holiday market! While I know some of these #books won't be out until after the holiday season, they can still use all the help they can get. Backing acts like a pre-order!

AZRO, why Jax's crimes against coffee?
2 reasons: the first job I had was in a cafe w/ a shady owner who paid us in tips, gave us one meal per shift with unlimited access to all the coffee supplies. full cup of just espresso? yep. mix espresso and dehydrated? sure. I may have broken myself there

Too bad this is after the current campaign ends, but in case you wanted to swing by and pick up a copy of Space Station X before the sequel comes out, I'll be part of the Author's Alley... and I'm making T-shirts!

Sharing some early concept sketches from when I was locked in with my characters for far too long.

So the lore is that I wrote Space Station X first in grade 5 and just...gave it a glow up... But I also wrote a sequel to it in grade 8 called "submarine down" and I will not elaborate on whether that is a spoiler for the new sequel.

Space Station X
Why yes, I am comparing my book to…my book. The version I wrote in 5th grade when I was ten, and realizing I was obsessed with being a rocket scientist. I want to set some context up for you all. I…

Guess this is what happens when you're a satellite propulsion subsystem lead design engineer (or whatever my title is these days)

fun facts with Azro: why Jax carries a spud wrench
At my first job in aerospace engineering the SME Engineer I assisted unpacked a pair of spud wrenches for the project we were building for NASA. Something about this expert gleefully brandishing spikey wrenches really stayed with me

"but Azro, why do you only have 3 revisions of your sequel? that isn't enough!" ah but in fact the original sequel consisted of an additional three revisions before I pulled my head out of my ass and wrote something worth publishing. That version shall never see the light of day.

Jax had been alone on her Station for ten years, and that was the way she liked it. But then came Saunders, and her cheery, cute demeanor was just what was needed to bring Jax back to humanity. Shame the Station underwent a horrifying transformation at the same time!

There are mysteries in this universe. Questions that will endlessly go unanswered. Like: I have bought 100s of scissors over the last decade, all lost to the ether, how is it the only ones still remaining are the ones my dog chewed on 14 years ago? #mystery

me: having a hard time with the layers of my #sequel I've read through so many times its all running together
wife: have you tried reading it backwards?
me: like every chapter? every paragraph?
wife: sure or every word:)
me, having a visceral reaction that anyone might choose such violence
