Time alone. Quiet the chaos. Feet on ground. Focus on what you can. Need to feel connected. Head in the clouds.

A god-king, angry with the greater gods seeks to destroy the universe. Isha is trying to get his people home and makes a bargain with the tyrant not knowing that the greater gods have set a plan in motion to end his reign. A Lion's Head by D.M. De Alwis. #booksky

Faith in the universe, God, or gods and spirituality grows when situations become desperate. We look for divine intervention when human constructs fail. But what is faith when people have lost their ability to believe?

Focus on one thing you can control and do today. Feet on ground, focus forward and see what is in front of you. If you can't practice compassion for your enemies then practice compassion with everyone else. We live in troubling times. Be kind. Fight the darkness. Guard your light.

Canadians who are members of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association will have access to the epubs of the nominees and some time to review and cast a final vote on the winner of each category. Not a bad deal for $10 if you ask me... the lineup of contenders is fierce.

Thank you to everyone who's reached out to find out how to nominate A Lion's Head for the CSFFA Auroras. Being nominated is hard enough. For the $10 membership,

The outpouring of support and love from friends, family, and people I barely know is incredible. This is community. I spent a lot of time thinking I was outside it, only to find that I'm actually in the centre of it. We all are. We just don't know how to ask for help. We don't know that we can.

A fatigue so strong that she was stuck in to her couch. Stuck watching the stream. It wasn't even a real stream ... Just an unending collection of people in the real world... In the real world? What is that? Somewhere the sun shines and the body moves, that's for sure.

New stat: 9 out of 15 UK based young adults enjoyed A Lion's Head and would be happy to read the sequel.

I would say that makes me a mid-range author. I may not be 5 stars for everyone... But I am for the readers that count.

You can't make everyone happy 😁.

I need to find something to tether me to the real world. There is always good in bad and bad in good. That's what leaves us conflicted. Nothing is ever black or white.

How does it feel to be addicted to my phone? Terrible. I want the freedom of thirty years ago while recognizing the privilege this damn thing gives me to market my books. I wouldn't have had a chance thirty years ago so I have to be grateful. But the addiction? It's a slippery slope.
