I saw the end of the rainbow the other day. Saskatchewan is so flat that I could see the colours of the rainbow in front of a far distant farmhouse. It was pretty surreal. If it hadn't been pouring rain, I would have taken a picture of it. Instead, here it is from inside my car! 😄

I made it through my probation period at Costco, and love working there so much! I learn something new every day and the people are so friendly. It went from my favourite place to shop, to my favourite place to work!

I had a lovely Father's Day yesterday. Since I'm working all day today, my kids came over yesterday after work. Fortnite, Simpson's, 🍕, Munchkin, lemon merengue pie, not to mention some great gifts! Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there. 🙂

A Queen's Edict, my fourth fantasy novel, and start of the Strongblade Siblings series, is particularly near and dear to my heart. This story kicks off the first long-running D&D campaign I ran, and what inspired my friend to convince me to write the campaign out as books. #BookSky #Fantasy

The problem with democrats is they think "calling out" republicans is going to do anything. "Oh, look at your lie or logical flaw!" They don't care. You're not dealing with intellectual or moral people. They have police and armed forces shooting American citizens. No time for debate.

The fact that K2 uses Heert as a shield despite being bulletproof is hilarious

A Hero's Birth, the final book in the Empire's Foundation trilogy, was the first book to depart from the D&D campaign that inspired the series. The characters ignored my outline, going their separate ways. It turned into my favourite story in the trilogy. #BookSky #Fantasy

The same men that think being transgender gives you an advantage in sports are the same men that think they could beat Serena Williams in tennis, or fistfight a gorilla and win. That Venn diagram is a perfect circle.

I was asked if I would consider getting AI to narrate my books. I have done royalty splitting for A Noble's Quest & A Queen's Edict, and neither book has sold well. So my answer is 'no' for two reasons. I don't want to take work away from real people, and #audiobooks aren't worth my time.

A Wizard's Gambit is the second book in the Empire's Foundation series. Where the first book was a light "getting to know the world and characters" story, this one increases the scope of the storytelling and character building tremendously. The proof is in the ratings. 4.8 stars vs 3.8. #BookSky

I read the first chapter of A Prophet's Request (book 5) to my kids last night, and before I could tell them it was time to get ready for bed, they had set up camp in my room to listen to more. A good sign, I think. 🙂 So, today I started the second scene of Chapter 6. #fantasy #writer #inspiration

I waited for Season 2 of Andor to be finished before getting a month of Disney+ (with ads) to watch it. Wow. I can't believe how amazing it was. I need to watch Rogue One now because it's been a long time, but I have these shadows of thoughts and memories of how this show ties into the movie.

Having been over 260 pounds in December, past-Ryan never thought he'd see this side of 230 again... Still some ways to go, but I'm thrilled. Who knew all I needed was to get away from a desk job and be on my feet working 31+ hours per week? Lol

I was thrilled to open my Amazon account to find 750+ pages read through the KENP program, thr vast majority of which were for my fourth fantasy novel, A Queen's Edict, which kicks off the Strongblade Siblings series. And I noticed another 5 star rating. I'm so happy someone new enjoyed it!

I decided to start writing again, & trying to decide what to work on. Could do book 2 in the Strongblade Siblings series. Or some short stories, maybe adding a third and final short story to Macimanito Môswa. Or I could do something completely new. Lots of potential avenues, but I need to focus. 🙂

My EI is set to run out, so maybe I should plug my books more often in hopes that yelling into the void will make a difference. I have 4 fantasy novels out. The first is a light-hearted "getting to know the players and setting" sort of D&D adventure with lumberjacks and a noble woman. Info in bio.
