The Charm

This is the third entry in The Ides of Mark web log. I thus far have no evidence that anyone is even aware of its existence, but it's early days yet and perhaps there will be a response here--after all, this is what they say about the third time. If for you this is the first time, I am doing bi-monthly reports of my writing and publishing activity.

The big news is that I have been told my new book, The Essential Guide to Time Travel: Temporal Anomalies & Replacement Theory, will be published by the end of the month, so I will have links for that next time.

As to the first half of June, well, I mentioned that I start every month with a song, and this month it was in web log post #399: The Song "Look Around You" . Since that was also the first Tuesday of the month there was also a Christian Gamers Guild article, Faith in Play #43: Slavery . We also posted chapter 122 of Re Verse All , and at three chapters a week we today posted chapter 128, continuing stories of James Beam, Lauren Hastings, and Tomiko Takano. There was a behind-the-writings post for part of that, web log post #401: Characters Hiking .

Also, because the first was a Tuesday the fifteenth--today--is also a Tuesday, and the third Tuesday of the month, which means that RPG-ology #43: Muscle Memory makes its appearance.

Speaking of Tuesdays, we had a primary election in New Jersey, and I provided a quick peek at the gubernatorial race in web log post #400: New Jersey 2021 Primary , with a snapshot of the results in post #402: New Jersey 2021 Primary Results .

I installed a web cam with microphone, making it possible for me to participate in audio and video programs, so I might be coming to a podcast near you sometime. Work continues on the next novel, In Verse Proportion. I don't have another book in the works yet, but we'll get there, I'm sure.

And again, I'll be back at the end of the month telling you how to find your copy of The Essential Guide to Time Travel.
