Ear pad on my favorite headset had seen better days, so I decided to spring for a replacement. Well worth the investment and I now have a spare for when the other one eventually dies. 🎧🙂👍

Finally got around to giving "Slay the Spire" a try. Thanks Steam Winter Sale! 🤣 Very cool, enjoyable, and well-made game. I'm sure I'll be pecking away at it for a while but I did manage to reach the end of the third dungeon on my first run. 💪🙂👍 #game #gaming

I really want to take some time and enjoy the holidays this year but it's hard to not be excited for the release of "The Nemesis Legacy" in January. I've written and published a lot of books at this point and truly, fans of any of them should be excited for this one, too. 🙂

Pleased to see "The Nod/Wells Timelines - Volume 1" tearing up the charts on the zon, despite being available in several other places. This release was all about providing options and making the book as widely and easily available as possible but success there is still important.
