I really need to update my Carrd with the new books and refurbs, so it's time for a book listing thread for the new pin!
Note that most of my stuff is on Amazon (because no fees in the self-pub), most of them should have ebook and print copies, AND I'll include some relevant warnings for each. :3

You know, as complex as I've tried to make the villains for "Adventures of Dusty Yote", it is satisfying making one that's just been an absolute asshole in all of his appearances so far. Slimy, smug, conniving, only barely concealing his hunger for influence over the protag... kind of refreshing.

Why am I concerned about my chapters? "Doctor Zhivago" has the EXACT same formatting style of massive chapters with numbered scenes; it's just intimidating for ME.

Worth reminding everyone that the current highest ranking Democrat in America openly admits he bases his decisions on what he thinks an imaginary person would want and today he and most of his allies are struggling to understand how somebody like Mamdani won by talking to voters who actually exist

Beakman has a very noticeable episode.
There are "viewer letters" segments. One of which is a letter that said "You seem to know everything. How do you know everything?"
The answer? "I don't." Which was 1) an intro how to do *personal research*, and 2) very candid for a kid's program.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all four seasons of Beakman's World are on Tubi.
One of the best science shows for kids ever produced and one that definitely should be mentioned alongside Mr. Wizard, 3-2-1 Contact, and Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Went through every chapter, named every character that appears, listed every scene they physically appear / speak in, marked first appearances and death scenes.
Because, while my brain is still obsessed with the work, it doesn't actually want to add anything to it right now.

"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

If you want awesome fantasy set in a vast world with a massive cast and tons of books to sift through, there are DOZENS, probably HUNDREDS of alternatives. For example, these great authors:

Huge round of applause. Let's see if Booksmith is on Bookshop or ships books and give them some love.

Good news, everyone! I was able to work on chapter 8 and cut down the existing 19 scenes to below 40 pages!
Bad news? STILL have 5-6 scenes left to go, which may translate to 8-12 pages. Sooo... we're probably gonna hit 50 for one chapter.
