Mary Agnes Foster Diaries - NOW AVAILABLE!!

-


With November almost over, that means it's time to publish another book!
I'm happy to announce the release of Book #11 of 2018, The Mary Agnes Foster Diaries.
For those who are counting, this represents the 3rd non-fiction book of 2018. There are also a couple true stories in the short story anthology Little Surfer Girl.

The description for the Mary Agnes Foster Diaries:

"Mary Agnes Foster Diaries is a photo-documentary about the ups and downs of fostering a former puppy mill mama, named Mary Agnes. She came into the shelter as a terrified, skinny dog and l was drawn to her and wanted nothing more than to help turn her life around. This is the true story of how that happened."

You can purchase it here:

 The irony of course, is that I never planned on releasing this book, it wasn't on the list. But, the book I planned for Book #11, The Mars Experiment Vol. 4, is still only 60% written and will take a couple marathon writing sessions (20 pages/10,000 words x2) over the next two weekends in order to get it finished, edited and ready for layout.

To say this has been a busy year is an understatement. I've moved twice, hosted a very successful tribute concert, performed a couple times and released 11 books.

How is life in Hamilton?

I have 9 months until I can get out of my lease and the fact that I know that off the top of my head tells you all you need to know.

Do the animals at least like it?

 They like it better than I do. They eat better too.

 Will you ever write another book?

I don't plan to. Next year will be more about promoting my most popular and successful books of 2018 and converting at least one of them into a paperback novel.

What will you do instead?

I will return to recording and mixing music after a nearly five year hiatus. Though I haven't recored anything in five years, I've performed 60 + times since then, have made some great connections and have a ton of stuff ready to be recorded, mixed, mastered, remixed and remastered.
They don't call me Stud!o M!ke for nothing!

What about the cartoon?

I am currently brainstorming a kids cartoon that I will write the pilot screenplay for. It's actually going to be really, really good, I'm super pumped! I've never written a screenplay before, let alone an animation screenplay, but I've been working toward this goal my whole life and I think I'm finally ready.

And that's it for now.
Fingers crossed that I have the drive, determination and creativity to get book #12 done in a timely manner.

Thanks for your support,
Studio Mike, Tito, George and Crazy California.
November, 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

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’
