The Mars Experiment, Volume 3 - NOW AVAILABLE!!

-

The First Volume
I did get this book up and published in September but the day I wanted to blog/email/FB about it, my internet was down.
I'm happy to release book #9 of 2018, the third volume of my sci-fi/fantasy adventure, The Mars Experiment. If you haven't read the first two volumes this one would make no sense whatsoever. That being said, it is the most intense, funny and shocking of the three so far.
The write up goes like this:

The only monster on Mars, is man. The third instalment of The Mars Experiment Collection is fast-paced, dark and keeps readers on their toes until the final page. The good guys have taken control of the pod station and have things under control until their worst nightmare lands on Mars and throws the whole station into turmoil. Now, the good side and bad side will have to team up to fight an even bigger adversary. Will working together be enough to stop the slaughter?

It can be purchased here:

The Second Volume
This is the first book completed and published in my new place in Hamilton and it went pretty smoothly, though my internet can be a little slow and unpredictable, which isn't that big of a deal, except it always fails when I actually need it, you know how it goes.
Life in Hamilton has been a bit of an adjustment. The city, the people, the hookers on the corner and crack heads in my backyard, will all take time to get used to. The commute is unpredictable, but if I make it to or from work in under an hour, I'm happy. As a side note, it used to take me five minutes to get to work but of course, because I couldn't find any place closer that I could afford or that would take us, this is where I've ended up, and you know what, it's actually a really nice, comfortable place and I really don't have too much to complain about. Doesn't stop from doing it, though.

The animals are doing well in the new place. There is a lot more room here than in any of our last two places and there are a couple large windows that the cats are loving. The Hellhound is still a little stressed from dealing with all the new sounds and all the stray cats in the backyard but overall I'd say he's doing pretty good. He's been getting long walks in abandoned areas, so there has been less for him to be reactive to, so that's been good for both of us.
Book #10

I've begun work on book #10, My Wasted Youth, which contains reviews and true stories from every band/concert I've ever seen that I can remember. It's actually going to take a lot longer to edit/complete than I had originally hoped. Worked on it for 10 hours yesterday and only completed 54 reviews. That means I've got about 230 more reviews to edit/complete, so, it'll take me all month to complete this project, but that's ok because for the most part, the memories of the concerts still bring a smile to my face.

I think once I find more fun things to do in Hamilton and connect wth more friends, it'll start to feel a lot more like home.  Until then, I'll just keep trying to stay positive and keep working hard at my books and hope that in time, I'll learn to love this place.

Thanks for caring!
Studio Mike, The Hellhound, The Hellcat and sweet Tito.
2018

Ladybird Animal Sanctuary

A couple weeks ago, we had in our living room, three big hearted individuals, Melissa McClelland , Janine Stoll and Lisa Winn , from Ladybird Animal Sanctuary . The following is the transcription of the interview. You can find the video version up above. How did it all start? “I’m an animal lover, and a full-time touring musician," said McClellan. "And I think I just wanted part of my life to focus on my love for animals, because so much of my life is wrapped up being on the road. So I brought it up with these girls, and we all thought it was a great idea, so we’ve been talking about it for a few years now.” “I had already been doing it small scale," said Winn, "because I’ve worked at animal shelters, and had already been rescuing and fostering for a number of years.” “I felt like the three of us come from different backgrounds, and we work so nicely together," said McClelland. "Our personalities, we just click as friend. And Lisa has the background w

Best Metal'ish albums of 2022

We use the term Metal’ish because some of our favorite albums could be considered metal adjacent, not metal necessarily, but awesome none-the-less and worthy of this list. We are always on the hunt for the next awesome metal album and this year there was no shortage of great stuff, in fact, this list could have been a lot longer. Finding all these albums on our own would be near impossible. What we do is wait until all the YouTube metal nerds put out their metal lists and we watch them - 20 or so videos so far -  and any albums we haven’t heard yet, we check them out. Basically we let them find all the good albums that we missed and then check them out and see what we think. The criteria for this list is easy: is it a kick ass album? Yes or no? If no, then it’s probably power metal. If yes, we listen to it until we get sick of it. Anyways, here is the list of top metal’ish albums of 2022. We are reversing a trend and instead of making you wait to see what is #1, we will just start ther

Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend.

I must have picked the right font, because it looks like Gop 10 ! Ok, it's no surprise that I'm procrastinating writing my newest project, though I did write a short story for the Toronto Star Short Story contest, which means I still haven't given up my dream of becoming a successful author. Lucky for me, being a successful author means: completing a project I start. Also, it should't come as a surprise that I'm single, so I've compiled a Top 10 list of the reasons for this. Top 10 Reasons I’m Not Surprised I Don’t Have a Girlfriend. #10 - I trim my toenails with my teeth. #9 - When I pulled my laundry out of the dryer, I didn’t find any underwear, that’s when I realized I was still wearing the pair I washed last week. #8 - I’m broke and broken. #7 - I run like a girl and sit down to pee. #6 - I cut my own hair. #5 - I cry when I watch ‘The Notebook’. #4 - I’ll eat anything that’s free. #3 - I’ll drink anything that’s free. #2 - The minute I realize I’
