Reviews: Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC
https://t.co/nXtiRh0JE2 Random Review of… Red Dead Redemption 2 @RockstarGames Came for handsomest cowboy ever Arthur Morgan; stayed for well-meaning, stubborn psychopath Dutch van der Linde. Will not visit Guarma again. Verdict: 5 unnecessary detours/5 necessary heartbreaks

Forthcoming lucky number of the week – as per the whims of the love of my wife and no others – shall be…
6.
Might want to mark that on the calendar, and we’ll see what happens then.

A Taste of What’s to Come…
And that taste, unfortunately, tastes very badly. I cannot say I have not over-expected of my own achievements, especially given my recent advancements in what I hope will be an enduring career. The book(s) are coming out, and my writing has never before been in such a state of fluidity, that I am seemingly able to call upon words at a whim. 2000+ words a day is no stretch, and indeed, no ache of the heart, head or body to accomplish. But the rates at which these words are being read certainly leaves something to be desired.
Running totals: number of words read by family and friends – nil; number of words read by strangers – nil; number of pages read by one odd fellow who actually opened the book but apparently never got past the copyright page (according to KDP Select) – one (the same copyright page – peculiar interests, this one).
What is a man to do then but take to heart that at the very least, I am still enjoying the process. Very much so, in fact, more fun than I’ve had before with these imaginary people whose interesting lives I am duty bound to record. I hope soon others will enjoy them as I have, and still do.

Surprise!
Your pulp novel steampunk superhero issue #1 has arrived!
“To hear a hoot in the hour before dawn is to mean enduring ill-fortunes and worse woes still for the listener, especially if you’ve got something to hide. Here in these parts we call him the Lynchman’s Owl, and this is his call.”
20 years ago the Lynchman’s Owl disappeared. Hero, villain, monster, fiend—it is undeniable the lingering effects the mysterious creature has left on the beleaguered nation, long since at odds with its own downtrodden, oppressed people.
20 years later, someone has come looking, and his identity will be at last revealed…

Liftoff!
So…
Let’s say the first time we did this, just with the paperbacks, was for luck. This is now the real deal…
EYE OF THE NORTH WIND – a cripple’s journey to save a wasteland king without him knowing…
Deep in the dunes a crippled son has come on the advice of his renowned father to earn into the illustrious Hundreds of the Wasteland King, before being robbed by an unhappy misunderstanding. But where a door closes a literal window of opportunity opens, and he soon finds himself accompanying his master in search of a missing army.
The young monarch, however, knows nothing of his presence or contributions. And for the sake of his pride he must never learn he has a secret protector—even when contending with the indomitable courage of harlots, laying claim to the wealth of Creatures of Calamity, or facing down the wrath of Dead Gods. That is, unless the Greatest Standard Bearer to ever stand at the king’s side chooses to come clean to uphold his promise at the cost of everything he has achieved in a world of scrap, fire, and iron.
Available now in E-Book and paperback at Amazon US, CA, UK ; Barnes & Noble ; KOBO ; iTunes ; Google Play Store ; and Ravenswood
