Hi. I'm Kevin. I do a podcast called Supernatural Selection. It's about three friends discussing the paranormal and conspiracies. We're also pretty woke. We also call out "bookstore racism" like aliens built the pyramids. Give it a listen if that sounds cool.

I do not understand how online publishing works. I have no idea where a good fit for The Errant Apprentice would be. Any suggestions from the wide world?

I feel down when I'm not writing because it gives me time to look at the numbers. Never look at the numbers.

Meet Bandy! She's a #goblin and the sister of Mitzi, the main character from my upcoming book. She's kind of a girly punk and would probably do rude things behind the restaurant. She's kind of a girly-punk.

So right around the time I decided to spend more time on Bluesky, Mississippi passed that stupid age check law. Now I either have to use a VPN to come here and shitpost, or do it at Costco since they apparently don't count as being in Mississippi.
Can I declare my house independent of the state?

Always write your villain like he's the hero of his own story. That's all I'm saying about the chapter I just finished today for Errant Apprentice.
