Well, I've got the final new Inspector Flaatphut covers installed and uploaded, so Amazon should be updating over the next 48 hours. Project Looking Glass is just a short story but the first one that begat the series, while The U.M.I. Corp Connection is a novella second in the series (I've written a total of 7 Inspector Flaatphut stories, longest being 110,000 words). As such I've also updated my little add banner I came up with a few odd years ago. Currently I'm working on a book trailer for these guys, to go with the Maldene trailer and the nearly complete Cyberdawn: Beginnings trailer. Anyway, if anyone wants some Flaatphut goodness, then just go to http://www.maldene.com/inspector-flaatphut

Most memoirs are written quietly in private. Polished. Edited. Published. Then shared with the world. I'm doing it differently. My name is Cristal VanCarson. SAG actor since 1987. International model — Hollywood, Japan, London. CBS. MTV. Al Pacino. Bruce Willis. Tom Petty. For 3 decades, I lived a story most people only see in movies. And now I'm writing it. In real time. With you watching. 📖 Inside Memoir Skool: ✦ Raw unfiltered chapters from my life in Hollywood and Japan during the 1980s ✦ The stories behind the photographs — what the camera never captured ✦ Visual anime scenes inspired by real moments from the memoir ✦ Members request the key to unlock each new chapter as it's written ✦ No polish. No PR. Just life — exactly as it happened. Writing a memoir isn't just about remembering. It's about discovering what the story really means. So instead of waiting until it's finished, I decided to invite readers into the creative process as it unfolds. Chapter by chapter. Memory by memory. Movement by movement. This isn't a book club. This isn't a writing course. This is a memoir being written live. And the people inside get to witness it first. 🔑 How it works: Join for free. Request the key to each chapter. Read the story as it's written. Be part of the movement. "Not a memory — a movement." 👇 Join Memoir Skool free Drop a 📖 in the comments if you've ever thought about writing your own story. I read every single one. — Cristal Hollywood photographer · International model · SAG actor · Memoir writer

It's a step-by-step playbook where you will learn how to: - Build an ARC team from scratch — even with zero email subscribers — and walk into launch day with 10–20 honest reviews already locked in - Land free editorial reviews (and know exactly when to submit to each) - Save hundreds of dollars by getting a discount with paid review companies that most authors don't know exist - Recruit pre-launch readers using ready-to-paste scripts for email, social posts, and DMs — no awkward asks, no winging it - Turn every "I loved your book!" comment into an actual posted review with one short reply - Find out what the highest-converting review move is in indie publishing, and almost no one uses it - Know exactly which paid review services are Amazon-safe — and which ones get books delisted and accounts banned - Pitch Bookstagrammers, BookTokkers, and book bloggers in your genre with messages they'll actually respond to - Get your book in front of library acquisitions buyers through the four services they actually trust to decide what to stock - Follow a unified launch calendar that maps every action from six months pre-launch through six weeks post — no guesswork, no missed windows - Pick the right path for your book with two complete worked-example strategies — one for fiction, one for non-fiction — instead of cobbling together generic advice Everything you need to stop launching in silence and start launching with momentum is in this playbook. Honestly, it's INVALUABLE for every author releasing a book—with the most up-to-date information at your fingertips! Before this goes live, I'm offering it FREE to the first 10 people to reply to me while we're still in the formatting stage before release. If you would like to read the playbook, it's yours FREE in exchange for one honest review on Amazon when it's released in the next few days.

Since I'd previously AI generated a few characters and places from Maldene, I thought maybe I might show a few and briefly describe their place in the world of Maldene. This is a picture of Grong standing next to a normal 5'10" human man. Grong works as the head General for the villainous Miro (My-roh) and is even more of a brute and a bully than he looks. He first appears in Maldene II: Mysteries Of Olde and spells trouble anytime he shows up, and ends up becoming a challenge for Bronto, the strong man on the good-guy's side. Bronto is the guy in the other pic shown alone by himself (the one that knows how to smile). So, who do think will win once these two face off?

There’s a certain kind of hope that doesn’t come from imagining things will be okay… It comes from seeing that someone else made it through something real. Not perfectly.Not easily.But honestly. And something in you says: If she survived that… maybe I can survive this. That’s the kind of story I’m writing. Not polished.Not distant. But lived—and still unfolding. What kind of stories give you that feeling? Memoir Skool proff you don't have to know everything before you start. I knew nothing about writing a book until I joined Skool and The Skool Bookshop
