My new book is finally out! This one is about Stan, a poor young man who encounters the game world of Thousand Tales and finds the growth and opportunity he's never had before. When the game's AI begins offering advice and asking for favors, Stan has the chance to make his real life into an adventure, if he can earn the greatest prize of all: control of his own life.

I have written a book.

Not pony-related, of course. It is a gaslamp fantasy story of puppets and power. Please give it a read.

When Viola Baker finds a powerful artifact lost by Little Mariland’s despotic leader, she tries to hide it, only to be dragged to another world above her own, where someone even more hateful is pulling everyone’s strings.

Or rather … a cancelation of that announcement.

Hey, just to let you all know, I made a group that collects stories of all kinds. I would place more in the library, but it seems that there is a limit for how much at a time. So, I ask you all to help me put as many books as possible in this group: Library of all Books (# Count). Consider joining if you want to help me with collecting books.

After many hours and late nights combing through it, I've finished all of the formatting editing I plan on for KoLB.

Anything left can stay as a testament to how nothing can be perfect.

Books with their many tales,
Shouting out from their cages,
And if not read they cry and wail,
For, they are priceless pages.
"Fly free now!" I shout to them as I pass,
I say" Let your knowledge be shared, (give me your pearls)"
But then I hear a bell and say, "I'll be late to class, goodbye!"
I'll tell my story to all who'll listen, yet none care.
Books, lying on the shelf,
They gather up bugs and dust,
In the dark and shadows they dwell,

Here's where we are on the Seashell print book:
83 pages all told, including front matter and a preface. 75 of them so far are story. Anticipating about 10-20 more pages to be finished. Almost there!
Cover's done (for the hardcover edition dust-jacket, at least, will probably have to be redone for the paperback but whatever).

Once again, the proof copy is out for delivery right now.

The hardcover edition proof copy turned out great - some text mistakes to fix, but no printing errors that aren't mine! Lulu can print a book to specifications! Yay!

So the copy mistakes are fixed in that edition, and production copies are ready to print. I pretty much just have to go to the website and hit the button, and the presses start rolling. Do they uses presses in printing anymore? I doubt it. Well, you know what I mean.

I was doing a bit of "weekend editing" and found that some of the covers I made needed some. . . improvements. All covers have been redone and are ready to be presented.

-R.P.

There are a lot of blogs, posts, and news articles out there decrying the pricing of the big publisher's books. They make regular appearances on smaller author's sites, reddit's r/books, and very frequently in the circles of indie authors. "Publishers are making their books too expensive!" they cry. Look at the price of these books!

Hey there, all!

Now that convention season is over (as of tomorrow's Ciderfest wrap-up meeting), I'm putting together the physical copy of the book. Thanks again to everyone that showed their interest, and if you know anyone that you think might like a copy, please send them my way!
