Week 51 of 2022
Greetings all
2023 is going to be a great year for me, not least because I keep improving what I do and the way I do it.
The biggest change, of course, is the Firehall Sagas. Here’s the new logo, created by Kevin Fritz Fotovich, an immensely talented artist and author.
A horizontal version of this will appear on all the books, and elements will appear on all the websites, once I get it all updated, of course.
This email will change a bit. Obviously, the Eldros Legacy section will go away. However, I hope all of you go to eldroslegacy.com/ as they are going to do great things there.
As you heard, the Dudes in Hyperspace is taking a hiatus. I have a fun plan to fill that time. I’ll announce it next week when I have all the details. In any case, I’ll remove the section but keep a link at the bottom.
I may have some other changes as well. I’m hoping to provide you guys with an update that’s more than simply “buy my books,” thought of course I hope you do that too.
Speaking of books, we’re less than a week away from the release of Pandora’s Box by Christopher G. Nuttall! You can get it on pre-order here: amazon.com/dp/B0BNPQ61DX, with the actual release on the 20th.
This is the sequel to The Chimera Coup in the Heirs of Cataclysm series. Expect book 3, A Hope in Hell, soon.
This week was aimed at two things, doing well at Kris Kinder, which I did, and making my choices for Bonds of Valor. I got, as usual, way more than 4 excellent stories, but I had to pare it down. The list of winners is down below.
I also spent a goodly amount of time editing A Lake Most Deep. It’s not out of the question to have it completed next week, though we’ll see. I’m cutting a ton of wasted words and strengthening the book so much, it’s really hard to describe.
I didn’t get much writing done. I wrote on another project, and there was some scribbles, but nothing to speak of.
Maybe I should get doing that now .
What I’m Listening To
San Francisco in Seattle to play the Seahawks. I don’t expect this to be a great game. The 49ers are just too powerful.
Quote of the Week
I was having a heck of a time finding a quote for today, then I asked the boss. My sweetie said I should use this one, and it’s never a bad time to quote Oscar Wilde.
“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
– Oscar Wilde

We give our swan song in a truly dude-tastic show. We’re taking a break, though don’t be surprised we have episodes coming occasionally down the road. Also, I’ve developed a taste for podcasting, so who knows what will happen.
