I’m an urban fantasy writer with a passion for falconry and great stories. When I’m not writing, I'm reading, building Metal Earth and U-Gears kits, handling birds of prey, making art, or supporting fellow indie authors. timothybatesonauthor.com

When the pages look this good, two a week is more than I'd normally expect. Honestly, with plotting, scripting, page planning, layout, sketching, then inking, coloring and adding the text, that's a huge amount of work per page. I'm always happy to see new pages, no matter how long I have to wait.

I always feel that it's more like vinegar poured on a series of papercuts. Apparently most of these people don't even have shoulders.

IF you can get a GPS location for where you are, or somewhere close, provide that in the message. It provides a VERY accurate location.

I’m a very visually inspired person, so when I’m writing chase scenes, Google Maps can be almost as good as being there… timothybatesonauthor.substack.com/p/google-map...

Usually it's more expensive to hire a group to do the drone shows, but that's based on looking into it a couple of years ago. There's hours of setup and programming involved.

100% behind this. The cost might be higher, but the results can be so much more beautiful, and even meaningful.

Wishing you both the best of luck. I had to go through the American immigration system when my wife and I married, and didn't have half the problems you've been through.

This is exactly why I loved Neil Gaiman's Death of the Endless. She was always so sweet to those about to die that her presence became a comfort.

Happy Wednesday.
In case you forgot:
We live on a planet where whales sing songs that travel for miles.
Where trees can recognize their own offspring and protect them underground.
Where dolphins give each other names and where lightning can create glass in the sand.
Where horses can read human emotions.
Where rain has a smell before it even arrives and where the ocean can glow in the dark.
And where stars we see might not even exist anymore.

Having been on the ARC team, I highly recommend this book. Technical difficulties lead to a crash landing on a mining planet, waiting on parts. But we all know it's never that easy for our protagonists. I enjoy the slight change of pace, the frog-like Bathari, and their cultural differences.
