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

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’

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
