One of the many weird research done by writers: how do you knock somebody out safely?
Surely the 70's tv show way of knocking somebody out with a slap behind the neck isn't a real thing. So if you were to knock somebody out realistically, wouldn't you have to really hurt them?

I’ve been hitting the Witcher hard lately and (finally) loving it! I’m in Skellige in the Witcher 3, on season 2 of the show and on Time of Contempt in the books. Total immersion!

I should be writing but instead I am drinking hungarian wine, watching Once Upon A Time In The West for the 17th time. Surely that counts as work, doesn’t it?

Thanks for the rec! I’m so glad of the love A Wolf in Space is getting lately! Check it out if you haven’t done so already!
Day 22 of #Indieadvent in which we drop an indie book we love every day in December.
Today’s turn is a western sci-fi mash up with a unique French flavour that runs through out the story and gives it a heartfelt depth.

I swear that at least 25% of my brain power is used to try to keep my TBR under control… all this planning and book picking, then the regrets and the few moments of satisfaction. Maybe I have a problem there.
After finished Tales of Ordinary Madness by Bukowsky, I’m free. I swear.

A month ago I started experiencing with ads for my debut novel A Wolf in Space which came out in January. I started with Amazon ads then moved on to Facebook. The results are staggering. I got nothing for $40 spent on Amazon while I am not averaging 4 books a day for the same money on Facebook.
