Weekly Update - 3/29/23
🕑 Added 2023-03-30 00:11:00 +0000 UTCI've pretty much been typing nonstop for the last few days, whether that's been for professional work or for stuff here, but be assured that if I have something outstanding for you, it's on my list and I'm getting through them as fast as I can. I'm hoping to get the next chapter of CARP out tonight, but we'll see. Might be tomorrow.
There's still a number of things outstanding that I'm working on as fast as I can, but it's currently looking like my Thursday and Friday schedules are mostly clear, so I'll see how much of it I can get done. Some of it's likely going to spill over into next week, but I'll do what I can to keep turning stuff out, both publicly and to commissioners. So if I'm lucky and the muse is willing, the next four or five days will seem like an overwhelming amount of output from me. Expect to definitely see the finale to Quaranteam: McCallister's Madness and the second chapter of the month in Brewster's Brood. I'm hoping to also get a new QT: Phil's Tale in there as well, but I still owe three commissions for March, so I'm knocking stuff out as fast as I can.
If you've ordered a signed copy of Quaranteam Book One from me and haven't gotten it yet, the second batch will be going out tomorrow -- Amazon's being notoriously slow in shipping me author copies, mostly because of the size of the book, I suspect. So tomorrow I'll head over to the local post office and dispatch all the orders I have that are still pending. I appreciate everyone's patience in the matter -- I would've loved to ship them sooner, but the second batch I ordered from Amazon on March 10th just arrived on my doorstep less than an hour ago. I ordered another batch on 3/15 that'll arrive on Monday, so if you're still considering picking up a signed copy, they are still available.
A friend of mine (the person who's loosely the inspiration for the character of Phil from the QT universe, actually!) rented out a theater last night for a bunch of us to privately see John Wick: Chapter 4, and hoo boy was that a movie. Yes, it probably should've trimmed 10-20 minutes worth, but there are not one but three legendary big action set pieces in it that left us just going "daaaaaayum." You should go see it in the theaters if you like that sort of thing, but make sure you see the previous ones first. We had a couple of people in the large group who hadn't seen any of the Wick movies, and they were, needless to say, more than a little lost.
Anyway, time spent here is time is time that isn't me working on getting new content out for folks, so I'll see if I can finish CARP before my regularly Wednesday night poker game, and if not, I'll try and finish after I get back before I go to bed. I haven't even watched Mandalorian or Ted Lasso this week yet. In fact, I'm woefully behind on a bunch of television. But there'll be time eventually.
Oh, and I hope everyone enjoyed the most recent QT chapter that dropped. I told everyone the one before it wasn't that big of a cliffhanger, but everyone assumed the worst. Still, as the chapter showed, it's not an easy world out there. And we're going to have plenty more darkness to come.
Last thing - forgot to send stuff out last week to the public sites because when I realized I hadn't done it yet, it was almost 4 am Saturday morning. That means I'll just heap last week's release onto what's going out this week, making it an oversized release week for me on the public sites, considering it'll be 3 different chapters. It all comes out in the end anyway. 4/1 - Si Verax Sum 1, QT: Phil's Tale 12, Before The Storm 4, 4/8 - The Writing's On The Wall, 4/15 - C.A.R.P. 1, 4/22 - Devil's Details 5.
