Freelance editing

Due to ongoing issues at my "real" job, I will soon be leaving. I'm working on lining up full time at home work, but in the meantime, and possibly even once I start working full time again, I'm looking for some freelance editing work. So if there are any publishers or authors out there that are looking to hire a freelancer, I'm available.

I can do editing, proofreading, formatting...I think most of you know my skills. Drop me a line if you're looking for help with anything.

The Highway to Hell

Since I started blogging, I've talked about the fact that the two-party system currently in power in the United States is the biggest enemy to the American people. The sad truth is that since I first started talking about this, the situation has only gotten worse.

Let's face it folks, if you really believe that the Democrats or the Republicans have the best interest of the American people on their minds, you're deluding yourself. The simple fact is that both parties are only interested in maintaining whatever power they have, and hopefully expanding upon that power. This is basically just a different type of monarchy, and the American people continue to fall for it. The only solution is the destruction of the two-party system. I can't say that I exactly know how to do this because the simple fact is that the two parties already have too much control. In order for other parties to get the kind of funding the big parties get, they have to go through an organization that is run by the Democratic and Republican parties. Kind of a nice little setup they have going there.

It is possible for parties to get federal funds if they can gain enough votes in a presidential election, but the two parties have us on this treadmill where we're constantly forced to vote against one party. Rarely do people really vote FOR a candidate. They're usually voting AGAINST another candidate. I honestly can't remember the last time we actually had a decent candidate from either party...and remember, they are really the ones that decide who is going to run for president. Yes, their are primaries, but the parties have already pretty much decided who will be able to win. If the party doesn't like a potential candidate, they won't let them run, or they will make sure they can't win.

I once had a friend tell me that they vote Republican because of the Republican stance on gun control, but they agree with Democrats on most other issues. They told me that they would vote for a Democrat that supported the Republican stand on gun control. That will never happen. The Democratic party will make sure that candidates line up with what they believe.

The only real solution is too campaign for third party candidates and vote third party. The two-party system must be taken down. Neither party really cares about you...they only care about themselves...

Now, do I believe that one party is worse for the country than the other? Yes, I do, but the simple fact is that both parties are driving down the highway to hell, only one is driving faster. The ultimate destination is the same, and that destination is the destruction of the America that we know. One will get us there faster than the other, but the simple fact is that they're both going to get us there...

A Taste of the Madness Vol. 1

 

I've created a six story collection that I've titled A Taste of the Madness Vol. 1. Why volume 1? Because this is a special collection that will only be available for a limited time, and the good news is that if you're a Kindle Unlimited member, you can read it for free! After a bit of time, this collection will disappear, and I will release A Taste of the Madness Vol. 2, which will again be free for Kindle Unlimited members. I think you can see where this process is going.

So, if you'd like to read six of my stories for either $2.99 or for free, please visit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTV39CCB and download your copy today. But remember, this collection is only available for a limited time!

It's time to play some Ephemeris!

 

From the Nomadic Delirium Press blog:

Looking for a new RPG to play? Have you tried Ephemeris yet? No???

Head over to DriveThruRPG and you can download a starter bundle for just $7. Go to: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/64002 and start playing right away.

If you’d like to completely dive into the game, you can get the Complete Ephemeris Bundle for just $35.45. Head over to https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/364674 and download everything today.

The year is 2185. The human race has gone to the stars, and found that they’re not alone. Local space is teeming with civilizations, some hostile, some friendly, and some indifferent. This is the universe of Ephemeris.

Ephemeris is a game of galactic trade and galactic conquest; of inter-species conflict and cooperation. Ephemeris is a science fiction role playing game. Here you will be able to take on the role of your favorite alien species and your favorite class. You will be able to trade, fight, negotiate, conquer, whatever you’d like to do with your fellow players. You can play the role of an Althani Trader, or maybe an Arbonix Cyber Wizard, or maybe even a Human Nanist. You can create a party made up entirely of one species and set out to upset the trade routes of a rival species. Or maybe you want to create a party with a variety of species that preys upon the trading routes of the various civilizations. Or maybe you want to explore the ancient ruins on long dead planets, ruins that clearly show that there were other species roaming the spaceways in the past…but where are they now? You can fight in great wars, negotiate grand peace treaties, and explore sections of the galaxy that no sentient has ever explored. Or maybe your party has joined with one of the interplanetary corporations; corporations whose motives are never entirely clear. These are just some of the possibilities open to you.
The universe of Ephemeris is yours to do with as you please. What you now hold in your hands are the basic guidelines for the games. Here you’ll find the races, classes, abilities, skills, weapons, and ships that allow you to create your own Ephemeris universe.

Now, step inside for the greatest science fiction adventure you’ve ever been on…
