I played these songs for my little sister. She began head whipping.

[Everyone Liked That]

"ALL EMBRACE ME! IT’S MY TIME TO RULE AT LAST! FIFTEEN YEARS, HAVE I BEEN WAITING TO SIT UPON MY THRONE!"

I am definitely on something

What I love about Sabaton is that they don't just sing songs, they tell stories of wars and heroes past and the great events that occurred during those times.

HOLY FUCK! THE HYPE IS REAL OVER HERE!

In the shower a couple days ago I was mindlessly reciting a metal song and then had to go check a translation on my laptop. So basically, the name "Joachim" is actually from Hebrew, "Yoyaqim", meaning roughly, "whom God will establish" or "whom God will set-up" (it's from a verb that literally means, "to cause to stand up", "to establish", or "to set up").

Hey folks...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I'm starting work on the next Firefly chapter this weekend. Currently, I'm alternating chapters of it with Five Star Service and will continue to do so until the latter is complete in two more chapters. And after that?

And tipping the scales at over 12,000 words. Titled The Power of Song for its centerpiece sequence, it will likely be approaching 13k after editing passes. It’s looking very good, having already earned a rave review from AJ_Aficionado, and will be launched tomorrow night, on the eve of my coming vacation to Las Vegas. It is, once again, the final chapter of Into the Storm, but definitely not the last word of the Firefly series. A new book will be started in due course, and
