THE END IS HERE

"Fimbulvinter's Fires" was an exercise in inspiration and imagination, written to match the image used for the book's cover.

Read it to find out what the heck happens to lead to the MC standing in a snowy forest on fire flooded by rivers of blood.

“Fimbulvinter’s Fires” by a m weald is what you get when you try to write a story that answers “how do you combine battle-axes and sci-fi gear” and end up with The Road, Skyrim, Brokeback Mountain, The Martian, Thrum, Project Hail Mary, Hatchet, and The Left Hand of Darkness all mixed up in a blender.

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends.

Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation.

Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year.

I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

This is what they've done.

This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

CDC panel votes to limit who is eligible for this fall's Covid vaccine

Only people 65 and over or with underlying health conditions should get the shots, the advisory group recommended. There may be insurance roadblocks for others.

I don't understand people who write more than one novel every few years let alone publish one. Even that is witchcraft to me.

Also next week Monday is Indigenous People's Day in the US (formerly-but-once-again Columbus Day) which is another thing Otherness directly plays into.

As an anthropologist I love exploring the concept of Othering and just so happened to use it a bit in my survival horror. I don't know, as a person who is not intersex, if that community would want to have a spotlight on them re: otherness. So definitely open the umbrella!

The brain fog right now is terrible. I am still getting over a cold so I wonder if it's that. I know my beta blockers can contribute to that for sure but these last couple days? Woof. I feel like I can't put together 2 and 2.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Salmonweird: A Cornish Crime Comedy Caper

A sunset beach scene, a quirky cover, autumn vibes, and a twist you won't see coming (this last bit isn't true, it's a genre marketing requirement)

Sunset background over the sea. Book cover shows a carving knife stabbing through a scone while jam and cream spills onto a table

When the young monk first saw a
strange scaly creature with fins but
no legs, he asked one of the elder
monks what it was. The elder monk
told him it was a salmon.

We have no reason to doubt the
elder monk’s piscine identification
skills. But to this young man who
had never seen a fish, anything
vaguely fish shaped was
henceforth “salmon.”
