My last Vella related post implied that anyone could crown a story once a week. Actually, it’s tied to purchasing more tokens: the Sunday after your last purchase of tokens, you will have the opportunity to crown one story. I apologize for the error.
Hunter Healer King in Vella
To claim her inheritance, Chloe Fortabat has to leave her ranch and come to the Old World, where she mingles with monster hunters. The most dangerous of these doesn’t look the part: a quiet, sharp-dressed medical man. Dr. Maxim os Storm’s mission is to destroy those monsters which feed on human pain. He is drawn to Chloe, but she is being slowly transformed into the exact type of monster he hunts. He does not know if he can cure her in time, or what she will do when she learns his secrets…
I’ve decided to serialize Hunter Healer King, the more advanced of my two WIPs, on Kindle’s Vella Store, to help motivate me to keep plugging away at it. If you would like to know more about Vella, read on…

Three characters largely drive the storylines of Rings of Power. From least to most screentime, they are: Adar, Sauron-alias-Halbrand, and Galadriel.

This series of posts is going to be my rather disjointed thoughts on Season 1. The Prologue is a series of disclaimers/as-stipulateds I want to get out of the way first.

Jetay must destroy the Spiderstar…with or without his new allies!
The psychic warrior Jetay has freed himself and his brother from slavery, and joined Lady Lanati and the Partisans in their interstellar war against the evil Red Knights. Unfortunately the Partisan military is an undisciplined, poorly led force, and the Red Knights grow ever closer to their goal of unleashing the ancient, deadly weapon known as the Spiderstar. Lanati has a plan to destroy the Spiderstar, but it would force Jetay to choose between love and duty. Even worse, he might have to use the same memory removal techniques which were once used against him….
Spider Star, the second and final book in my space opera series, is leaving Kindle Unlimited on June 3, 2023, at which point I plan to publish the novel to other ebook vendors besides Amazon. If you are a KU subscriber, I would advise you to download Spider Star before the deadline, and then hold onto it until you feel like reading it.
I will probably also raise the price on my first space opera, Shadow Captain, at some point after June 3, 2023, so you might want to purchase that one while it is only $0.99.
Happy Reading!
Birthday Tribute to Sir Christopher Lee and Vincent Price
For the 103rd birthday of the British gentleman and the 116th birthday of his American friend, I thought I’d link to some lighthearted musical performances from these highly cultured individuals. Disclaimer: I’m mostly doing this as a companion piece to yesterday’s post; there is no guarantee that I will be doing equivalent tributes to the three horror gents on May 26 and 27 in 2024 or subsequent years.

Weird Wednesday: Particularly Disturbing Angle on Roswell
T;DR version: author proposes that the Roswell crash in 1947 involved experimental US craft of some kind, with Japanese POWs and disabled people being used as test pilots/guinea pigs. The rumored bodies recovered would, in this account, have been humans, not aliens, and the potential for public outcry was deemed serious enough to let people run with the alien version of the story instead. Not sure I believe it, but it’s more plausible than some things.
