There are only a few days left to get in on the campaign! Don't miss out on the exclusive deluxe leatherbound edition!

Would you go back in time and do things differently? Would it really change anything, or has your fate already been written?

When Alexander Petersen made a deal with Lady Luck and her sister Destiny to reverse his fate, he didn't realize it would cause his soulmate to marry a monster. In order to set things right, he's allowed to relive parts of his life, but there's a catch.

For every second he relives in the past, he loses a second in the future.

Can he defy his fate and save them both before time runs out, or is he just making things worse?

It's a story about an orphan, Alexander, who makes a deal with Lady Luck and her sister Destiny to change his fate, but later discovers this deal dooms his soulmate, Amanda, to marry a philanderer. In order to make things right, he is allowed to go back and relive parts of his life, but for every second he spends reliving the past, he loses a second in the future. Will he be able to overcome his twisted fate before time runs out?

Using Audacity

I'm relatively new to audio editing, but I'm learning a few tricks. I thought I might reveal them in the hopes that it helps someone out.

I ran into some kinda freaky things while I was recording my audiobook.

Exciting News!

Hey all! Quick update:

Met with my publisher. We are formulating a plan and have a tentative date for the release of A Sinister Love—April 8.

Solar Eclipse.

Also, I just found out how to remove specific sounds from audio using Audacity.

Freaking.

Amazing.

This audiobook might just be decent after all.

People like to point out when tv shows predict things in the real world.

Well, I decided to watch Akira last night. It's a manga and movie from 1988, 34 years ago. In it, a cataclysmic event destroyed Tokyo and led to WWIII. Tokyo was reborn as NeoTokyo.

The movie takes place in the far off year of 2019. One of the plot points is that NeoTokyo is preparing to host the olypmics. In 2020. Which actually happened in Tokyo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Summer_Olympics

Humbug

Has anyone seen the Netflix show "Scrooge: A Christmas Carol"? I have things to say about it. Namely, it might be the best version of the story out there. https://yetanotherwritersblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/scrooge-christmas-carol-review.html

Why is it we do things "in" years and months, "on" days, "at" times, and " in" blank-o'clock hours?
