Video of the Day, “We Should Check It Out!” edition.
To be fair, the odds are better than normal. You might get superpowers out of the deal, instead of an alien eating your face. The historical record is mixed that way. Your call.

‘Drunken Lullabies.’
I am going to go see SO many bands at bars.
The Very, Very Russian SHADOW AND BONE Netflix trailer.
Not gonna lie: SHADOW AND BONE pushes some buttons. I like the medieval style as well as the next guy, but getting some saber-and-sorcery black powder fantasy going works for me. Just as long as it does not suck.
Keanu Reeves narrates his highly metal BRZRKR comic book trailer.
More power to him, though. Keanu wants to go metal, well, it’s a free country. He ain’t doing anything I wouldn’t be doing. When you’re in your fifties and enjoying a cinematic renaissance as an action star, why the hell not have fun with whatever you feel like having fun with?
Obligatory Patreon plug!
Just my reminder: I have a Patreon for my SFF and horror fiction/gaming material, and 90% of it is going right back into the publishing stuff*. At this stage of the process, the more monthly income I have, the faster I can pay for editors and artists and cover art. Which means the more books I can do a year. That is the way things are.
So, tell your friends! Heck, tell your enemies if you think you can convince them to pony up. I ain’t proud.

*The other 10% goes to the St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth, and Families; specifically, their Teen Mother-Baby Program.
Getting along with Dungeon Cleaning.
I probably shouldn’t put up snippets for this one, because it’s for a contest and everything. I can say that I’m at 1200 words, so it’s 15% finished! I should probably outline it at this point: I have a general idea what’s going on, but I need to lock it down. This is, after all, for a contest.
‘Marbula One S3eason 2: GP7 Raceforest RACE.’
I don’t know what’s more interesting: that there are marble races of this kind and complexity, or that I watched the whole thing, impressed. There was a lot of work put into this. A lot of work.
Blame Sandra and Woo.

E-Racing tonight!
It looks like a scary course and bad weather tonight, so it’s gonna be a fun race at Gabir Motors tonight! I don’t know if any of my sponsored cars will make an appearance, though. Tonight is gonna be a silly race.

PS: Books are here!
02/25/21 (and Last) Snippet, GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND.
I shall revise this damned thing this weekend. I have spoken.
Patreon!I’m not really sure about the exact details, because I’m not a hardcore computer jockey and I was being distracted by the white-hot pain suddenly gashing behind my eyes. But the pain ended up working out for the best; [redacted] wasn’t expecting me to nearly spasm and seizure the hauler into the ground. I don’t know what he was planning to do, if I hadn’t reacted. Probably just finished our trip, and never say a word until the nanoswarm flayed the marrow from our bones.
But, instead, when I blinked away the agony, he had moved back to the other end of the cabin… and now had a gun. Amazingly, the first thing he said was, “Pam? Are you all right?”
I looked at him, in angry bafflement. “What do you care?” I said, and pointed to his gun. “I mean, obviously you’re the saboteur, right? The gun you’ve got is kind of diagnostic.”
