The Ephemeris 2.0 Book of 1st Level Characters

Every PC and NPC has to start somewhere, and that’s what this book gives you. Here you’ll find 60 1st level characters that are ready to be played by players or used by the GM to inhabit their game. Each character is already equipped with items and skills. All that’s needed are a name, a gender, and maybe a few more items.

Order from DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/506564/

Paperback coming soon from Amazon and other retailers.

Not Much Time Left

There's not much time left to download my special holiday collection of stories that aren't holiday stories!!! And remember, if you're a Kindle Unlimited member, it's a free download.

Order today at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNZR32WG

For the 2024 holiday season, I decided to put together a small collection of some of my short stories. None of them are actually holiday themed, since with the way I tend to write, I’d probably end up killing Santa over and over again.
Instead, what you’re holding is a collection of some stories that have been well received over the years, and I’m making this a Kindle Unlimited title, so those of you that are members, you can download it for free.
This year’s edition contains the same eight stories that last year’s edition had, but I’ve also added my stories “Origins” and “Choices.”
So, enjoy a few stories while you’re shopping, wrapping, celebrating, or whatever it is you do over the holidays.

A book for your to-read list

If you're looking for a new book to add to your wish list, then I would strongly recommend Open Mic Night at the Nexus by Ian Brazee-Cannon.

Ian is possibly one of the most underrated authors in the genre, and definitely deserves more attention.

Pre-order the book today at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNNVY92Z

For years, Ian Brazee-Cannon has been subjecting his readers to his twisted view of the universe, and now Nomadic Delirium Press has gathered up a mere smattering, just a taste, a mere morsel, of some of those tales.
Journey into Ian’s mind…if you dare, and venture to other times and other places like none you have imagined, but make sure you’re buckled up because you have no idea where his imagination might take you…and we don’t think he really does either…

We Are Not All Right

If you're looking for a great collection of science fiction short stories, look no further than We Are Not All Right by Mike Morgan. 10 wonderful stories that will definitely keep you entertained.

Order today at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DMTPGL5D

Journey through 10 short stories of chaos, conflict, and confusion. In these worlds, giant spiders control household pests, stealth bombers reengineer the atmosphere, and foul horrors lurk beneath mind-altering trees.
You’ll be fine as long as you remember a few golden rules: Beware sales contracts offered by friendly environmental saviors, don’t ask what it took to build a towering wall along Texas’s southern border, and—whatever you do—don’t ask aliens whether they believe in God.
Chances are you’ll be fine. The gladiatrixes are highly unlikely to stab you (they haven’t killed anyone in forever), the trolls are only wiping out one major city today, and the nameless abomination inside that mountain-sized tomb is guaranteed to stay asleep (unless you insist on letting off a bunch of explosives).
Even if things go completely wrong, you can rest easy in the knowledge that an eternal spirit of compassion is ready and waiting to give you comfort… as your species dies out.
We’re all… all right… Aren’t we?

Writing is hard work!

The first ten thousand words of my new novel flew by, and I have to admit that even I was impressed with some of my writing (usually I hate my stuff.) The next ten thousand words were a struggle, but I kept slogging through. The ten thousand I'm on now have been a tooth and nail struggle just trying to get each word out.

Anyone that tells you that writing is easy, or that they could write a novel if they just had the time is insane! Writing is hard work!

Updates to my website

I've made some updates to my website at https://jalanerwine.com/. Mostly it's adding my screenplays to the site, since this is a direction that I am definitely thinking about taking my writing...especially with the idea percolating in my brain right now.

Hello from Aurora, Colorado

I live in Aurora, Colorado...you know the place that has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs, the place where it's no longer safe to live, the place that needs to be liberated...only it's not.

My family and I are as safe in Aurora as we would be in just about any other big city. It is true that there were some Venezuelan gang members in a small part of our city, but most of them have been arrested. And the area they were in has had a gang problem for decades, like places in most big cities.

In Aurora, it is safe to walk the streets, to shop, to do whatever we need to do on a daily basis.

Please stop trying to make an example out of our city for political reasons...you're actually taking a problem that isn't real and creating a serious problem for those of us that actually live here. We just want to live our lives and be left alone.

Venezuelan gangs are not running our streets, and we don't need to be liberated.

Thanks for listening.
