Three cheers for cheap shops

Everyone in my area is suffering from budgetary problems, these days. And since everyone has less money to throw around, places to get things for cheap are starting to proliferate.

We've had three dollar shops in my favourite shopping zone for quite some time. The maximum we've had is five, during the worst of economic crises to date.

Well, this time, the cheap food places are proliferating. Not only are there two Aldi's within fifteen minutes of home, but there's a discount grocerers and now a factory outlet place for Golden Circle.

They're instrumental for my long-term plans at saving money. Get the non-perishables at Golden Circle's, get the meat and fresh veg at the discount grocerers, and anything I can't get at either of those places, I'll get at Aldi's.

And the worst part is - no matter how much I scrimp and save and work at making ends meet... the ends keep shifting and the bills pile up and it just keeps getting worse.

My laundry room is a disaster again. I need to do towels, but just looking into the laundry room takes away half my spoons. I really need someone to help me unfuck my life and then teach me the secrets to keeping it unfucked.

So please - keep those contributions coming. I need an income and I need a good one. Anything at all that you can spare is a bonus.

This fundraiser is for our friend Clara and her immediate need to leave her current living situation with her abusive and trans-misogynistic family in Venezuela, where she has no support and is under scrutiny and emotional attack daily.  She has a home and community here in North Carolina, but no way of affording the cost of a passport, Visa, and flights here not to mention immigration costs. This fundraiser is an attempt to get things

I’ve just been hit by the worst case of art theft in my life. My fan illustration, The Great Wave off Kanto, is being sold on phone cases through some of the shadiest websites I’ve ever seen, and there’s nothing I can do to contact them.

Most of these sites have contact pages, but their emails bounce, their phone numbers are fake, and the American addresses they list show empty farms and fields on google maps. The

Honest answers, please?

Loads of people are doing Patreon stuff.

Lots of them are visual artists, offering art and discounts on their art stores as bonuses for patrons.

Does it work for writers? What the hell do I have to offer?

If I let my readers have sneak peeks, will that be ‘publishing’ parts of my WIP and therefore making it untouchable?

I’m planning to get an agent, this year. Which means I’ll be sending sample chapters of Kung Fu Zombies off to

Dear Followers:

Yesterday (or thereabouts) you all saw this on your dashes:

This is, as you may have surmised, the cover to my first novel.

Let me tell you a little thing about this cover.

  1. It is not my work.

  2. It is the work of a very patient artist at Bespoke Book Covers.

  3. It is hella expensive.

  4. …and I’m broke.

I say “very patient” because we went through several-ty hundred revisions before we got to this. I’m

A small dilemma (and an ask)

Firstly, apologies to everyone who’s been expecting a thing a day. I’ve been busy with pestillence, family and (again) waiting for someone who could help me to get their finger out of the metaphorical divot.

All my loyal readers will know I’m on Smashwords now and have my first work allegedly up and multi-compatible.

C'mon. Buy the dang thing. It’s only two freaking dollars. I need the money.

Ahem.

Anyway. I have three other
