I'm happy to release book #7 of 2018, an action/adventure story titled Lost in the Wilderness.
This has been the hardest book to complete this year, that's because this month I had to:
1. Write and complete the final half the book.
2. Do a first edit.
3. Design the cover.
4. Find pictures to be included in the book.
5. Layout the book in Vellum.
6. Do a second edit, in Vellum.
7. Upload it to Kindle Direct Publishing.
8. View the online preview and do a third edit.
9. Upload final version to KDP.
10. Write a blog about it.
11. Send a mass email
12. Post about it on Facebook.
13. Find an apartment - not completed.

What is Lost in the Wilderness about?
It is the weekend of Thanksgiving and Moose Morris-Middleton III is driving home from the family cottage in Northern Ontario, with his dog, Jazz, and his two cats Forest and Daisy. While driving home they hit a patch of black ice on HWY 400, the minivan hits gravel at the side of the road and flips four times before coming to a stop on its side. Moose is badly injured and the animals, nervous and scared, scatter across the highway and get lost in the wilderness. When Moose awakens in the hospital he is given the bad news about his pets. Will he find them before the freeze, get eaten or starve to death?

Jazz
The story is based on a real accident I had in 2006, though I didn't have pets in the van. Instead my brother-in-law Josh got hurt and had to go to the hospital in Barrie but luckily he was ok. I had PTSD from the accident for years and writing about it was anything but cathartic.




You can purchase the book here:


For anyone wondering where I'll be living next month, I don't know. I'm still waiting to hear from two potential apartments and it's stressful waiting to find out if I will be accepted or not.
So, for now, I still have no updates.
Moose

In the meantime, in August I need to:
1. Start/Complete book #8.
2. Edit/Layout book #9.
3. Start writing book #11.
4. Move. Possibly twice.

Wish me luck!
As always, thanks for all the support. This is has been anything but an easy year but I'm still working my ass off and wishing that something good finally comes my way.
Thanks,
Stud!o M!ke, George the Hellhound, California the Hellcat and sweet Tito.

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...

The Compassion Experiment (Day 4)

The Compassion Experiment: is a blog about converting to a more compassionate lifestyle. When it comes to promoting the compassionate lifestyle, there are two schools of thought, one being to shame people into living more compassionately, the other is to give people options, and help guide them into a more humane way of life. We don't believe that showing people gruesome pictures of animals being slaughtered is the right way to go about it. That's not to say that we don't support the groups who do this, many of these groups are the people working the hardest for animals, animal safety and promoting compassionate living. We just have our own way of doing things. As promised, we tried a great compassion recipe last night, and it turned out to be quite tasty. We modified the recipe and made it our own. We were worried that it would be flat, and hard and tasteless. We were way off, and highly recommend it. Here it is: Banana Blueberry Compassion Bread You will need: 3 ripe ba...

The Compassion Experiment Day 178

This year while at the Vegetarian Food Festival, we saw a pamphlet for a Pig Sanctuary, called Ruby Ranch . We grabbed it, of course, and vowed that we would have to check the place out. Of course with both of us working full-time now, and volunteering, it was hard to find time for it, but this past Tuesday, we were finally able to make it down. And it was unbelievable! We pull up to the house, and the front door opens. Out comes two dogs, and a giant pot belly pig who waddles his way down the front stairs. In the front yard there is a pen with three super cute pot belly pigs, who greeted us and were quite friendly. Seeing pigs on TV is one thing, to have a chance to get up and personal with them, is a whole other thing. These are cute, intelligent creatures, who love people, and to cuddle, and in some cases, even like to sleep in the bed. Ruby Ranch is run by an amazingly compassionate couple, Sherry and Bob, who started with one pig, Ruby, and now they have 19 pigs, two dogs, and thr...
