The BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER trailer.
BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER has fighting, Namor, my personal favorite character from the first movie (M’Baku) – and an almost tangible sense of sorrow for the loss of Chadwick Boseman, who was a genuinely good-hearted man and actor who was taken from us too, too soon. Everybody in that film misses him, and I don’t think they’re going to pretend otherwise. I think it was very smart that they didn’t recast the role.
Phone cameras saved these fools’ lives.

I’m not entirely joking. People despise cheaters, they really despise long-term cheaters who blatantly cheat to win, there’s a lot of money on that particular table, and everybody in that crowd has a knife. I’m not saying that if this happened in, say, 1975 somebody would have ended up getting gutted like a river trout, but the fact that everybody had their phone out and recording this had to have kept people cooled down a little. Particularly since everybody knows that the cops are getting called in anyway.
So it’s a good thing there were cameras there, hey?

Goodness gracious, but I was wiped today.
Ten hours sleep and I’m still drained. Like, physically drained. Anybody who tells you talking to people isn’t exhausting… is probably very lucky. I feel like I need a nap before I can properly get some sleep.
Patreon Microfiction: Alchemical Byproducts.
The dude in ‘Alchemical Byproducts’ isn’t exactly whining about it, but he’s feeling just a touch aggrieved. Having the Philosopher’s Stone is turning out to be a solid, stone-cold moneymaker, after all (if not quite literally, in this world of fiat currency). He’s just embarrassed that all the pure science people are pissed at him now.

Y’all hate Springsteen’s singing, so maybe you’ll like this cover.

Fright Reads went well!
A long day, but a productive one. Sales were very good, at least by my standards; I’m not entirely sure what ultimate success will look like, but I moved a decent amount of product and made a decent profit. Interestingly, though, neither TINSEL RAIN nor DUTIES sold at all. I think that’s because I was selling a lot of ‘try these, and see if you like my stuff’ books, so I do have some hope of moving both of the above books in the next few weeks. Something to look forward to.
And now I’m going to collapse, thanks.

Book of the Week: THE GOLDEN ENCLAVES [Scholomance, Book 3].
Like this was a surprise, really. I’ve already read Naomi Novik’s THE GOLDEN ENCLAVES two and a half times and it came out five days ago. Now I’m going to read the whole series over again, and see how the clues in the first two books led to the three. What else really needs to be said, here.
Further commentary – none of it directed at Ms. Novik – has been deleted as being perhaps a bit… inflammatory.
