State of the TAM - 4th October
Sting in the Tail by TA Moore is out today! Check it out! Tell me it’s marvelous! :D
I’m very excited to have this out there! I hope you all enjoy it as much as me. There’s a blog tour that will be running over the next few weeks, so keep an eye out for them! Articles! Prizes! All the things!
In other news it’s only a week and a half until GRL! I’m not ready! I mean, I should be ready but I’m sure I’ve forgotten something.
NOT, however, my covid jab! I’ll be getting that next weekend. So that’s a relief! Once I get back from GRL I’ll see if I can do a swag giveaway or something :D
Pupdate of the WeekOK. The Izzy is the best little gray beastie in the world. She’s also very timid and quite scared of non-Jax dogs. Today, however, she said hello to a little Shih tzu AND a very happy Golden Retriever. She was tapped out after that so we had to wait for the other dogs to go on before she’d trot on her way.
Still so bold and brave!
They also had a lovely time at Mount Stewart earlier today!

The Carnival of Mysteries just arrived in Sutton County. They say if you cross the fortune teller’s palm with silver she can read your future like a map. Right now all Ledger Conroy wants to know is if he has a future.
Back in Sutton after over a decade, Ledger’s plan had been to bury his father--recently deceased convicted serial killer and less-well known warlock, Bell Conroy--clear the property, and then finally wash his hands of being a Conroy. Instead there’s a cured human heart in the larder, a pissed off pretty boy who is definitely not human at the door, and a debt to the devil that Ledger’s just inherited.
Devil. Monster. Something like that. He’d not asked for its pedigree
Whatever it was, it's given Ledger a week to fulfill the terms of his father’s contract. Or else he’s never going to leave Sutton again. With pretty-boy Wren at his heels, more to make sure Ledger doesn’t skip town than to provide assistance, Ledger tries to track his father’s sins across Sutton. The problem is there’s so many of them.
Ledger is faced with old grudges, a Sheriff that thinks Ledger knows more about his father’s crimes than he’s ever said (and isn’t wrong), and a dead man with a book shop. Not to mention the on-going distraction of Wren, who can't decide whether to be a hindrance, a help, or just hot.
Luckily Ledger has a nose for this sort of work.
Sting in the Tail is part of the multi-author Carnival of Mysteries Series. Each book stands alone, but each one includes at least one visit to Errante Ame's Carnival of Mysteries, a magical, multiverse traveling show full of unusual acts, games, and rides. The Carnival changes to suit the world it's on, so each visit is unique and special. This book contains a dealer in dark collectibles, a man who's NOT people, and a monster with a debt it expects to be paid.
Look how cool these are! I am taken with the idea of it, although I haven’t the stuff to do it :D

There is a definitely a book in ‘digital necormancy’. I mean, that would work. A necromancer with a delicate stomach who doesn’t like to deal with rot and corpses. So they create ‘bodies’ through AI and summon life into that.
Generative AI – which encompasses large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT but also image and video generators like DALL·E 2 – supercharges what has come to be known as “digital necromancy”, the conjuring of the dead from the digital traces they leave behind.
Debates around digital necromancy were first sparked in the 2010s by advances in video projection (“deep fake” technology) leading to the reanimation of Bruce Lee, Michael Jackson and Tupac Shakur. It also led to posthumous film appearances by Carrie Fisher and Peter Cushing, among others.
Initially the preserve of heavily-resourced film and music production companies, the emergence of generative AI has widened access to the technologies that were used to re-animate these and other stars to everyone.
