Spookiest Welsh Canadian (Glynn Stewart)

Happy book day to me! Keepers in the Flesh, the sequel to Seekers in the Void, is now available on Amazon. To protect his ship and his crew, Captain Cirilo Webster must pay the Company's most dangerous game: politics! Buy it now: Ebook: mybook.to/SV2Keepers Paperback: mybook.to/SV2KeepersPB

Today is my birthday, and I would like you to support trans authors about it!

Yikes. Trying to get quotes for shipping as I put together the final parts of this project and it seriously looks like shipping anything from Canada to Europe is an arm and a leg. If I'm sending a $30 item, I don't want to be charging / paying $80 in shipping O_O

I am pushing to finish a bunch of mid sized stuff today because I expect my covid shot on Tuesday to knock me on my ass. I've also scheduled a Necromunda game for 4 hours after it. Based off my track record, it certainly can't make me *less* likely to win lol

Damn, you see how easy that is?

First five RPGs: 1. D&D 3.5 2. Vampire the Requiem 3. Mage the Awakening 4. Shadowrun (4th edition) 5. Star Wars: Saga Edition Somewhere around SR4 and SWSE, it becomes a swirl of chaos of one shots of games I thought were cool...

Deserves a read. I've been clueless and probably accidentally creepy in the past - but I would never have even dreamed of pulling this kind of crap. Plus, I grew out of most of the above by 25 and it doesn't sound like this dude was that young...

Oops. I unplugged the inflatable dragon to save power overnight. Then it snowed. The fan is not up to inflating the dragon with snow on it. Thankfully, it'll probably melt by this afternoon when I'll set up the other two.

Am I stressing because migraine or migraining because stress? Who knows!

Every so often my body decides to send a very pointed memo that it's 2:30PM and I should have put something in my system that isn't coffee.

Aargh

I hate that one of my favorite games of the last few years - a game I literally bought twice so my wife and I could play it at the same time - is getting shit on today by people blaming it for BioWare's closure.

Dammit Trick, you can't make me cry twice on Bluesky in one day, that's just not fair.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

Wibble :(

Well fudge. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ea-is-c... I wish this was a surprise, but EA has been the grim reaper of studios I loved for decades - and BioWare's vibe was never going to fit with the Saudis :/

Well, Alberta didn't vote to cut off our own feet (or, at least, to hold another vote on it) but it looks like enough have voted for shooting ourselves in the feet to provide ammunition. The other questions on the referendum are looking split and leaning toward racist :/

Reminder: I have books! I just released Keepers of the Flesh, which is, among other things, a discussion of... parenting? XD

"On Canada’s coat of arms you’ll see the Latin motto Desiderantes meliorem patriam. In English: “They desire a better country.”"

Albertans: go vote if you haven't. knowthenine.ca has all of the questions, it's good to know what's on the ballot ahead of time They do have a bias, one I agree with (I donate to them) but even just having the text in advance is a good thing!

I want to thank Canadians across the country for their moving words about the horrific tragedy at CFB Wainwright, and more specifically, medical first responders from Saskatchewan who rushed to help their overwhelmed Alberta colleagues. It is powerful to see Canadians stand and mourn together.

In the Name of the Moon, support trans authors!

The upside of discovering nitrogen-packed gluten free tapioca free oat free bread on Amazon: we actually have a source of surprisingly fresh bread we didn't make ourselves. The downside: forgetting my baguette in the microwave is a five dollar mistake.

Heads up! This is a thread - more like a library/compendium - of my columns, speeches & podcasts about Alberta's referendum questions. I thought it might be useful if I gathered it all in one place, organized by time and topic. #Alberta #notothenine #abpoli #cdnpoli

No, Glynn, do NOT rejig your word count spreadsheet to see what your "most words in a week ever" was.

Catie's covers are awesome 👍 There's a lot of thought and back and forth with the artist that goes into a good cover. It's not easy from either side! (I'm pretty sure I've driven at least one artist nuts over the years)

Wait, what do you mean my masala spice mix is BB December of this year? At 1/2 teaspoon per pot, how does one use 85g of this stuff in less than a decade?

Read this. It's scary. We spent $80K on trying to promote one of my books to traditional book stores. At the time, I think it was my worst first in series launch. I got a very cool spaceship model that lives in my office out of it. Uh... Also an influenza-induced heart attack from Book Expo...

The problem is that "top 20 on Amazon" can be a fleeting thing. Like a day. Or an hour. Even now, though, I don't think I count as midlist and while I've hit the top 50, I don't think I've broken the top 200 in years. Being visible on Amazon has grown a lot harder. (Also, check out Zack's book)

I have finished my High Elf Battle March army for Warhammer Old World. Hopefully it will not join my Age of Sigmar Spearhead in being purely decorative 😹

4,200 words today. This book proceeds apace and poor Aaron is dealing with, well, the type of emails you get when your website needs to be relatively clear that you provide *supernatural* security services.

Albertans, if you haven't done the mail in, GO VOTE

Well, over half of the fam had to bail due to illness so we have a LOT of turkey and pumpkin pie leftover, but our first hosted family Thanksgiving was a win.

This feels very familiar

I cut up all the vegetables for dinner. (The potatoes carrots and parsnips) What do you mean there's more vegetables? (The fresh herbs for the turkey)

Have you checked out my Kickstarter for Forest of Stone yet? In this dark epic fantasy adventure, a group of thieves and rogues are reluctantly tasked with saving their city from a rampaging cursed forest that devours everything it touches. www.kickstarter.com/projects/emm...

Happy Thanksgiving!

But they look great!
