So first…
Serena decided to do a book similar to my own Anthology Alumni. Hers is all short stories. She chose not to include the ones that are pieces of extended stories.
If you are interested here is the link. It is due to release September 22.
Second, she is going to be working on a 3rd poetry volume. We will let you know when it is available… but here is the cover for it….
And if you have not gotten it…her second one, Blood Red Rain is out for preorder with an August 25 release date.
not sure why landscapes are my fave to draw…but I love doing them.
Lyrics
him
Love thy neighbor, right?
Or is it only if they’re
Rich, able-bodied, cis, hetero and white?
I’m starting to think this lord of yours is overrated
If he made you in his image
Must’ve been real inebriated
Preacher preaching rubbish
Rambling, condemning sodomy
Vocal variation of an awfully botched lobotomy
Scream about the gays
And how you wish you could exterminate ’em
Jesus would’ve hated the way you’ve portrayed him
Love thy neighbor, right?
Or is it only if they’re
Rich, able-bodied, cis, hetero and white?
I’m starting to think this lord of yours is overrated
If he made you in his image
Must’ve been real inebriated
My 2 Cents –
I found this when I was driving. It definitely caught me by surprise. I don’t normally push any idea that has a hate filled message and this one has some…but it also has a lot of truth to it too. Hate seems to flow through everything anymore and I am so very tired of it. Jesus is portrayed as someone by the bible who would have been happy to sit with the gays, and the theys. But the modern media portrayal is one that has him hating everything not christian. It hurts my heart. We are all human. So kindness should be the thing that we default to.
I like drawing owls. And this is a good time to mention that I was on a couple of episodes on The Owl Light Network…
Release date is August 4th.

Lyrics
I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane
Few folks even knew his name
But a hero, yes was he
Left a boy, came back a man
Still many just don’t understand
About the reasons we are free
I can’t forget the look in his eyes
Or the tears he cried
As he said these words to me
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All
Now Sandy Cane is no longer here
But his words are oh so clear
As they echo throughout our land
For all his friends who gave us all
Who stood their ground and took the fall
To help their fellow man
Love your country and live with pride
And don’t forget those who died
America can’t you see?
All Gave Some, Some Gave All
Some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some Gave All
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Yes recall
Some Gave All
Some Gave All
My 2 Cents –
There are not too many “Patriotic” songs that I really like. I find that there are too many problems to feel truly proud of this country…but I was born in the USA…and This is our Independence day. So… This is a nod to that.
So, I was on Owl Light’s Unprinted Pages…They will be uploading the video to the channel soon…We did it live and then the replay gets uploaded…that is the way this works. It got my brain jumping. I have been writing since. I will be posting links when the review period is done…Lunatic Asylum Screams – my second memoir is now due out Aug 4. (I still need to get that up on paperback and other various sites….just started that process.) and Serena’s Blood Red Rain is now less than 15 poems away from being done writing…and I don’t think I am done writing tonight. So…Check out Owl Light’s channel…seriously they are inspiring…
oh also…I will be posting a link later when it’s live…I did a nifty little journal with my art on the cover. maybe I might do more…
I was given Conan Exiles.
I have been enjoying it immensely. However I have been trying to avoid the slave taking in the game. I really don’t want slaves. And I expressed that to the person who gave me the game… and they immediately said it is just a game and that they don’t see the reason why I am so worried about it.
I play games to have fun. Doing the right thing in a game for me is fun. I love crafting and building. In this game gathering and hunting is kinda fun? Not really my normal thing but I don’t mind it as much…
Games that force pvp or something similar tend to be ones that I avoid – actively.
When I said that he pointed out that I have not in the past presented problems with the players in my D&d games having slaves… well I guess I have to go point out that I don’t make other people’s choices for them… and I don’t judge people on their own choices. At least not in entertainment. As long as they don’t literally hurt anyone else with their choice – no one else has room for judgement.
So, what ever way you play – what ever game you play – Game on!
