Okay, folks. For reasons beyond my control, the series had to be retitled, so allow me to officially make a re-introduction to
REMNANTS, BOOK ONE: DUST.
(ASHES, book two of the REMNANTS duology, is also available. New audio versions aren't up yet, but will be soon.)

I finally cracked a major impasse on a D&D setting idea I've been noodling for *two decades*, and it's timely without being too on-the-nose or an obvious metaphor.
So of course, this happens during a time in the RPG industry when there's not a company out there looking to publish a new setting. 😝

I wish my "werewolf vs. human traffickers" script--which includes a small team of ICE agents among the villains, though they aren't the *main* villains--would stop getting consistently more topical than it was when I wrote it.

The demotion of Bovino changes nothing. Body cams and training will change nothing. Don't fall for it, and don't think your constituents will let you off the hook.
NO FUNDING FOR ICE. Period.

Bovino's demotion is a good gesture. But that's all it is, and it worries me.
I worry that some of the less informed citizenry will take this as reason to relax their efforts.
I worry that some less committed Blue politicians will take this as sufficient change that they can vote to fund ICE.

If the nurses' union really wants to make the largest possible impact in protest of the current fuckery, instead of striking they should go into the computer systems in all the hospitals and erase all the billing info and balances owed.

I want to state for the record that I don’t give a SHIT if someone is undocumented and have no interest in deporting ANYONE!
I would rather deal with the criminals under our laws, than to spend millions trying to deport people.
Deportation is expensive and cruel. And quite frankly, stupid.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too.

I know I have several literary agents (in this case, I'm speaking of novels, not scripts) among my contacts.
If any of you would be willing to talk to me about a particular endeavor that, for reasons, I can't pursue through my usual agent, I would deeply appreciate you shooting me a direct message.

I have no idea if or when there will ever be a live-action Dragonlance adaptation, but it really needs to happen before Jamie Campbell Bower gets too old to believably play Raistlin.

Hilton is removing the location that refused to host ICE agents. They're losing their franchise.
Here are some options to make your displeasure known:
1 (888) 446-6677
[email protected] (That's their contact for media and PR-related requests. I couldn't find a more appropriate e-mail.)

So, that credit you're giving to Hilton? Don't.
The decision not to accept ICE agents' reservations was a local one, not a company one. And corporate has already forced the location to walk it back.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art
