Sure, it's been a hot minute.
Convincing you to read my novel by the first sentence. Share yours if you want.

First wee bit of The Lion, first in my Speaker Origins fantasy series.

Pic I meant to post last month to note #WizardWednesday, the good chill in the air at the start of sweater weather, of course my own wizardly #fantasy book series, & some shilling for @ourfakehistory.bsky.social in the meantime -- don't have the episode yet but bought the shirt immediately.

Came across this existentially anxious note that read, "True Change, noo," on my parents' fridge.

I mean, on page one and this is already amazing.

And if the book you want isn't in your local library, and isn't even in a library in your province, all libraries in Canada are technically part of the same system and you can get the book through interprovincial loan.

Staying with fam and I tried to sneak this creature upstairs while no one was home, but she just yelled at me in the basement doorway until I came downstairs to play.

Today is my missus', @jcparsons.bsky.social, birthday, so I'll wait till tomorrow to regale her with this old joke book of mine I found at my parents' house.

Q: "What is yellow and goes, 'putt, putt putt'?"
A: "An outboard lemon."

:D

A small creature with a sleepy smush-face has been beamed to my location.

I did it, chat -- made it to the new local bookstore that's only open 12-4. Though I did cock one thing up. See if you can spot it. 🧡📚

Think it's finally time to get this bad boy out there. And by "bad boy" I mean wistfully sincere and hopefully thought-to-be imaginative and feel-good #fantasy novel in my #SpeakerTimeline series.

Heck no. I suspect I got that one and The Karate Kid at an earlier Scholastic fair at school.

You, too, can be the proud owner of Alex Gets the Business.

I think I found the two pages that best summarize the entire plot.

Visiting fam now and digging through my closet, I have an assortment of the novelization of a good few movies.

A very specific era. To be honest, I dunno if all of these were kid appropriate.🧡🚀📚 #books 🎬

The piece de resistance. How wacky do you think this book is?

I remember being disappointed by the character development in the movie of Red Heat :D

The books expanded on characters & sometimes I remember stuff that just wasn't in the movies.

Air America wasn't the movie, which I found annoying. Robocop II, so much gore and drugs.

I guarantee some of the details in Total Recall and Rambo III weren't for kids.

Watching 80s-90s movies with me missus, @jcparsons.bsky.social, and every so often I'd be like, "I have the novelization of that." Visiting fam now and digging through my closet, I have proof.

Date and time is probably related to the last time I fired it up.

The controls are surprisingly responsive, with great haptic feedback and satisfying clicky noises, if a little Windows 98.

My Creative Zen from nearly 20 years ago is alive! All my music from that time was entombed in there when a friend jammed her ipod charger into it.

I spent most of that summer living in a trailer in the woods working a 2-man brushing crew. Man, those #movies got us through the evenings. 🎵 🎶

I was gonna take a jaunt and buy the follow-up to Tchaikovsky's Children of Ruin -- though it unnerves me to no end -- but the new small local book store is closed Mon-Tue. 'Spose I'll wait rather than go to Coles.

Visiting fam and now that I have a rare day off I sorta wish I had brought a game controller with me. 🎮

I wonder if I could configure these bad boys for Elden Ring...

Turned the page and spied a "typographical river."
