Spam of the week -- Oprah's Book Club
This is actually one of the better spam messages I've received.
However, I'm pretty Oprah could afford her own email domain, and wouldn't have to resort to Gmail. Not only that, the spammer used something like oprahsbookclub4. 😅

Dear Spammers,
Could you please try harder? I mean this one didn't even seem remotely legitimate. Please fix the following issues:
1. My name's not Michael
2. I never wrote Michael's Story
3. You spelled your own name wrong
4. You used a Gmail address
Looking forward to better spam!

My historical fiction series should have a TW about medieval violence primarily. There is also some sexual assault and bullying.
My short story, For Her, on the other hand, has stalking and murder.

By the light of the fire, she threaded a large needle. “You think that cloth hurt? Just wait until you feel this.” She waved the needle in front of my face. “Now bite down on that stick so your screams don’t wake up the entire forest.”

The biggest problem with time travel was "how much could my characters affect"? So I decided that time would be self-healing, and it could fix minor issues like someone stepping on a butterly, but major issues would need to be set right again.

Since I have a 7-book series, I have a lot of moments that I like. But the one that still makes me smile is the ending of book 2, The Celtic Deception. And a lot of readers tell me that book 2 has the best ending of all the books (so far).

Just finished watching Bone Lake on Netflix. It's one of the few movies where I started rooting for the bad guys because the "heroes" just seemed so damn incompetent. After the 50th bad decision of theirs I thought "Nope, you deserve to die"

Just passed 80k words on book 7--the final book of my series.
They aren't necessarily good words, but even the worst text can be edited into something better.

Today, it hit a daytime temperature of -12 Celsius. And that's without wind.
Makes me glad I'm a cat person who doesn't have to go out and walk the dogs.
BTW -- My son still wears shorts outside in this weather. He's becoming known in the neighborhood for his winter fashion choices.

My character's goals shift as the series progresses. Book 1 is all about getting back home as my MC accidentally sends himself back in time. But as the story progresses, the goals become more about saving the world from the madman trying to rule it.

Aftermath of the great snowstorm of 2026. 9" / 23 cm of snow on the car.
We ended up shovelling 3 times yesterday, and it was even deeper in other spots because of the drifts.
I really need to buy a snowblower.

The emotional and physical cost of time travel is what hits my MCs the hardest. They find themselves in some of the toughest battles of history, and they don't leave unscathed. Both bear mental and physical wounds that need time to heal.

Unfortunately, I'm an early riser, so I had to do the first round of roughly 6"/15 cm by myself, while my tall strapping sons slept in.
They get rounds 2, 3, 4, and onwards, though! (We're expecting a lot of snow today.)

Other than the actual aspect of time travel, everything else in my series is highly realistic. I dump my characters into real historical events where they meet real historical people. And I try to give my characters realistic responses to their situations.

Dan Renfrew comes from a long line of time-jumpers--secret heroes who travel to the past to resolve glitches that could alter history. Unfortunately, no one told him about this--and he just accidentally sent himself to 1066 England.
