In 1860, a blaze in the Kildare Street Club led to the death of three workers and the destruction of an institution. Together with other fires of the era, this provided the imperative for a municipal fire service. While Captain James Robert Ingram's name is associated with the ‘Whiskey Fire' of 1875, there were many other significant fires, including the destruction of Dublin's Theatre Royal. This all occurred in a time when a new scientific approach to firefighting was taking shape, thanks to the pioneering writing of James Braidwood, influenced by the Great Fire of Edinburgh. This episode explores the emergence of modern firefighting, and how Edinburgh and London paved the way for what followed in Dublin.

The Monroe Canyon fire has been burning across Utah, growing to over 66,000 acres. Garkane Energy is working hard to repair powerlines that have been burned by the fire and re-establishing power to those in southern Utah.

President Trump says he doesn't want illegal immigrants to be counted by US census President Donald Trump this morning says he is instructing the Department of Commerce to work on a new census... using results and information learned from the 2024 Presidential Election. He made the announcement on Truth Social ... saying people who are in the country illegally should not be counted in the new numbers. Greg and Holly dive into the history of the census and what can be done legally with this. New tariffs now in effect After weeks of discussion and adjusting the numbers, President Donald Trump's tariffs took effect just after midnight last night. More than ninety countries are affected by these tariffs, and this could cause a major hiccup on international trade with the U.S. We discuss some of the impacts consumers might feel with their grocery bill and their technology after a last-minute tariff of 100% on semiconductor chips right before the deadline yesterday. Greg and Holly discuss the new tariffs and how semiconductor chips production in the US could benefit Utah. Municipal Elections in Utah: How to ensure your ballot gets counted with new deadline changes Election day for municipal primaries is August 12th, and there have been some changes that Utah voters should know about that could impact whether or not voters ballots get counted if they are voting by mail. Shelly Jackson, Deputy Director of Elections in Utah, joins the conversation and illuminates some factors voters should know before sending their vote or using a local drop box. SLC man accused of chasing, attacking 12-year-old after door-bell ditching Doorbell ditching - is it a harmless prank? For one Utah 12-year-old it wasn't so harmless… as he was chased down, and according to police, kidnapped and assaulted. The man held the boy until he handed the boy over to his parents at a local gas station. That man, Tony Arnold Bernstone, is facing charges of child kidnapping and abuse. Greg goes into the legal ramifications of this man's actions and how the case will proceed from here. Utah judge to decide if lawsuit against Utah’s Transgender Athlete Ban can proceed A Utah judge will decide by the end of this month if a lawsuit against Utah's transgender athlete ban can proceed. The case is challenging a 2022 Utah law, but a recent Supreme Court ruling, plus an executive order from the president might upend the suit. Greg and Holly discuss the future of the ban. Backpacks & budgets: The price of back-to-school supplies in 2025 It's that time of the year again, to take your student back to school...and your wallet as well. KSL-TV Investigative team puts the retailers to the test in an investigation on the costs of going back to school. Where should parents go if they are looking to save? Sloan Schrage, KSL Investigative Producer, joins us in the studio with the results. The Logan trail dispute Who owns the trail? In Logan, a years-long dispute is going to be going to court as the city takes action to sue private property owners. Logan City Council voted Tuesday to set aside $150,000 for legal fees for the lawsuit. Greg and Holly discuss the situation. Utah Democrats stand behind Texas Democrat exodus Texas Democrats have left Texas in protest of new congressional maps that heavily skew the state towards the GOP. The exodus has caused major delays in passing the proposed map because they do not have enough lawmakers for a quorum. Governor Abbott has called for the civil arrest of democrats who have "neglected" their duties, and most recently. The FBI has agreed to help track down lawmakers outside Texas. We hear from a local leader Utah Senate Minority Leader, Luz Escamilla who is voicing support for those who fled. Women in the workforce: Why women are leaving work + the STEM surge for women in Utah A startling two-hundred-twelve thousand women have left the workforce since January according to the most recent job report. It is believed that it's due to a rollback in flexibility in 2025 in a large scale as President Donald Trump changed the workforce and ordered federal employees to be in office five days a week. We go into the details of how these changes in the workforce, alongside companies trimming their benefits, is making it harder for working women to make it work. On the bright side, The Utah Women & Leadership Project has released their new research snapshot and it's showing that Utah is a top job market in the nation for women in STEM-related careers, but there are significant gaps in K-12 education and workforce representation. Kolene Anderson, Utah Women & Leadership Project Associate Director, bring Greg and Holly in on the research they found in the report. The concern around pharmaceutical tariffs President Donald Trump, along with other high tariffs, have said that pharma tariffs would start small but could balloon to nearly 250% in an attempt to move drug manufacturing to the U.S. These tariffs could affect how patients afford their prescriptions and could threaten abilities to fund research into new medicines. International Trade Attorney Michelle Schulz has been monitoring these developments and goes into detail how this blunt attack on pharmaceuticals could be bad for everyone.

Sporting KC have addressed a significant area of need on the roster bringing in center back Alan Montes from LigaMX club Necaxa in on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. His profile is quite different from what SKC fans may be used to at the position, and on paper it looks to be a good addition and a divergence from how signings at the position had been identified and prioritized previously, which potentially mean a positive change in that philosophy.We've spent a lot of time recently discussing some of the potential for structural change tactically with the personnel on the current SKC roster, but this week we want to provide an alternate perspective about how maintaining a consistent platform could be for the purposes of player development. With a first year CB and DM, and essentially a first year GK, there is some value with stability, as well as some compromises made in build out to limit opportunities for error that could be hampering the effectiveness of the offense. These are calculated risks Kerry Zavagnin and the team appear to be making for the greater good of having players develop more quickly across the season.Finally, a bunch of transactions are happening all over the league as the secondary transfer window is well and truly open, the KC Current return from their break and don't miss a step, and a preview of a match against a San Diego team that candidly appears to be set up perfectly to exploit some of Sporting KC's larger deficiencies.

The deadliest forest fire disaster in US history was the Peshtigo Fire in Northeast Wisconsin. It occurred on the same night as the better-known Chicago Fire (October 8, 1871) but claimed several hundred more lives. Peshtigo, a fast-growing city of wooden buildings and part of the lumber industry, was consumed within an hour by the inferno fanned by gusting winds. Besides scorched china and a brick kiln, among the few items the fire left behind was a small, open Bible. Flames singed its cover and extreme heat petrified its pages, yet it remained intact. It can be viewed in a museum in the city today. The little Bible’s preservation calls to mind an assurance God gave His people in another trying time: “The grass withers, and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8). Though “firestorms” of invasion and exile threatened, God affirmed that He would be faithful to His promises and would never forsake those who turned to Him—come what may. The Bible in Peshtigo, still partially legible, was opened to Psalms 106 and 107. Both psalms contain these words in their first verses: “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Even in the greatest trials of our lives, His words and love never falter. And we will thank Him forever because of it.

So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 262 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is August 1, 2025, and today we are looking at how I finished my LitRPG trilogy at long last. Before we get into that, we will have Coupon of the Week, a progress update on my current writing and audiobook projects, and Question of the Week. First up is Coupon of the Week. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobooks in the Malison series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store: MALISONSUMMER50. And as always, we will include the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store in the show notes. And this coupon code is valid through August 18th, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook this summer, we have got you covered. Now let's take a look at where I'm at with my current writing projects. As I mentioned in previous episodes, Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest, the final book in the Stealth and Spells Online trilogy, is finished. You can get that at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. It is doing slightly better than the previous two in the trilogy, which makes it the bestselling book in the trilogy so far. So thank you all for that. My next main project is Ghost in the Siege, which will be the sixth and final book in the Ghost Armor series. I am 53,000 words into that as of this recording, which puts me about halfway through, give or take. I'm also 6,000 words into Blade of Flames, which will be the first book in my new epic fantasy series that I will begin once Ghost in the Siege is out. In audiobook news, Shield of Power--recording for it is underway. That will be excellently narrated by Brad Wills and hopefully that will be out in probably towards the end of September sometime, if all goes well. 00:01:49 Question of the Week Now let's move on to Question of the Week, which is designed to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question: what is your favorite book you've read in 2025 so far? No wrong answers, obviously. The inspiration for this question was that June 30th was the halfway point of the year, which naturally inspires both reflection and some mandatory bookkeeping. Mary says: Witch Hat Atelier Volume 13 by Kamome Shirahama (which I probably mispronounced). After having read the rest of the series, of course. Juana says: Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts. Jonathan T. says: The Genesis Enigma: Why the Bible is Scientifically Accurate. This book is like my favorite nonfiction book so far of the year, while my favorite in the fiction category is likely Hardy Boys Casefiles: Dead On Target. Roger says: Just finished the latest in the Magelands Series, The Lost Ascendant. Really good, but a long series-even longer than yours, Jonathan. Gary says: It wasn't published in 2025 (I'm tragically behind the times) but Murtaugh by Christopher Paolini. Lynda says: Sunset by Sharon Sala. Denny says: Not sure if Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archives: Wind and Truth counts. It was released in December of 2024, but it's the newest book I've read. John K. says: My favorite book so far is by new indie author, J.L. Odom, By Blood By Salt. It's in line with apparently my favorite genre of MC called (I can't tell if this is disparaging or not) “competency porn” where the main character is well, uber competent. For myself, I think my favorite book of the year so far for 2025 would be The Icarus Coda by Timothy Zahn, which wraps up his excellent Icarus sci-fi mystery series after 25 years. So I definitely recommend you check out the Icarus series if you get a chance and if you're looking for other interesting things to read, apparently we have a few recommendations for you as well. 00:03:29 Main Topic: How I Finally Finished the Stealth and Spells Online Trilogy Now let's move on to our main topic this week. How I finally finished the Stealth and Spells Online trilogy with the last book, Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest. I'm very grateful to everyone who read the trilogy and enjoyed it. All told, it took about 10 months to write Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest, from September of 2024 to July 2025, when I finally published it. So that's a lot longer than it takes for me to usually write a book. So what took so long? Well, a lot of things went wrong. Let's look back. Towards the end of 2022, I decided I wanted to try something a little different, so I settled on LitRPG, which seemed promising because it's pretty popular. For the story, I had an idea of a software developer who was fired from a virtual reality MMORPG once he realized it was dangerous and how he starts playing the game to uncover the proof he needs of the corporation's evil plans. I also had why I thought would be a clever idea. The game would be based on my Frostborn books. Like, it's set 700 years in the future and some interstellar scout discovered the Frostborn books on a wrecked colony ship, and then the evil corporation built the game around them. I decided the game would be called Sevenfold Sword Online, which meant it was the logical name for the series. So I wrote Sevenfold Sword Online: Creation and published it in February of 2023. And alas, it didn't do particularly well. A couple of problems became immediately apparent. First, and perhaps foremost, the title was causing confusion. People assumed it was connected to my Sevenfold Sword series and was in some way a sequel to that series, which it wasn't. Second, people were confused and wondered if the Ridmark Arban and Calliande Arban NPCs in the game were the actual characters from the Frostborn, Sevenfold Sword, and Dragontiarna books. They weren't. But in comedy, there's a saying that if you have to explain the joke you've already lost. I suppose a parallel conclusion would be that if you have to explain the characters are NPCs in the game world based on your books 700 years in the future, then the concept of the book is probably a bit too abstract. Second, the book didn't really appeal to a majority of my regular readers who prefer epic fantasy from me. Case in point- when I published Half-Elven Thief in December 2023, in its first month it did 66% of what Stealth and Spells Online: Creation has done in the entire three and a half years it has been available, and I'm recording this on August 1st, 2025. So in its first month, Half-Elven Thief did two thirds of what Creation did the entire three and a half years it's been published. In its lifetime, Half-Elven Thief has sold 250% more than Stealth and Spells Online: Creation, and it's been out for ten and a half fewer months than Creation. Clearly, the majority of my regular readers prefer epic fantasy over LitRPG. Despite these setbacks, I continued onward and published Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling in February of 2024. It did slightly worse than Creation. So for the rest of 2024, I on and off tried a bunch of things to improve how the series fared. To avoid confusion, I changed the title from Sevenfold Sword Online to Stealth and Spells Online, which it currently is. I redid the cover art, I changed the description, all the usual things for improving a series, and none of it ever really worked. I could never quite turn a profit when advertising the book. During these experiments, I realized I had fundamentally misread the LitRPG market because the three most popular kinds of LitRPG are: 1. Portal fantasy, when the protagonist falls through a portal and ends up in another world that runs on MMORPG style rules for whatever reason. 2. Isekai. The character dies and is reborn in a world that runs on MMORPG style rules. You'll see this in books with titles like I Died and was Reborn as a Level One Healer, something like that. 3. System Apocalypse. The world ends and is recreated as a living MMORPG, usually overseen by an all powerful “game system” (hence the name). The system can be created by gods or incomprehensibly powerful space aliens and is often malevolent. Dungeon Crawler Carl, where Earth is destroyed and remade into an MMORPG system as part of a sadistic alien game show is probably the most well-known example of this particular subgenre. The problem is that Stealth and Spells Online fits into none of these popular subgenres. I joke that I tried to write a LitRPG, but it ended up as a sci-fi thriller. I mean “software developer fighting sinister corporation's evil plans” is a sci-fi cyberpunk story, not a LitRPG. So I was trying to tell a story ill-suited for that particular genre, like attempting to write a cozy contemporary mystery in the format of an epic Arthurian fantasy quest. Like that idea could potentially work, but it probably wouldn't. With that realization, I had three choices about how to proceed. 1. Leave Stealth and Spells Online unfinished and never speak of it again. 2. Unpublish Stealth and Spells Online and never speak of it again. 3. Find a way to finish Stealth and Spells Online in a satisfactory fashion with a single book because I didn't want to write a long series that sold poorly. I disliked Options One and Two, partly for reasons of professional pride and partly because it's bad to get a reputation in the fantasy genre for leaving series unfinished. You don't want to leave readers hanging longer than is necessary. The tricky part for Option Three was I had originally planned Stealth and Spells Online to be like seven or eight books, and I was only two books into what I had outlined for the story. An additional, potentially major real life problem was that the Stealth and Spells Online books sold badly enough to seriously tank book sales in the month they were released. Like both February 2023 and February 2024 were some of my weakest sales months in the past decade. So that meant I needed an outline for the final book that would discard all the planned subplots and focus entirely on the main plot. I also needed to write the book as a side project and not a main project because I knew it probably would not sell well. Ideally, it would come out in the same month as a much stronger seller like one of the Shield War books. So in October of 2024, I started chipping away at what would become Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest at 500 words a day. I would write 250 words before going to the gym in the morning and then 250 more words after dinner. During the normal workday, my main focus was on whatever book in the Shield War, Ghost Armor, Cloak Mage, and Half-Elven Thief series I was writing at the time. (As I've said before, having five unfinished series at the time is way too many, which is why I spent summer 2025 trying to get that number down.) But I did my 250 words in the morning and my 250 words after dinner almost every day. I just kept chipping away at it. Finally, in July of 2025, I was very nearly to the end of the book. After I published Shield of Power, I decided I was far enough along to make Final Quest my main project. Turns out I actually was pretty far along, since I only needed to write 3,000 more words to finish the book. Two rounds of editing and some new scenes later (I added a bunch of stuff since I thought the original ending was incomplete) and I published the book in July of 2025. It turned out reasonably well. People seemed to like the ending and find it satisfactory (at least those who read it). Final Quest sold slightly better than its predecessors. But to be honest, Shield of Power has generated sales in its first three days equal to what Final Quest did in its first two weeks. So I'm grateful for everyone who read the trilogy or listened to the two audiobooks. I'm really grateful that you read it or listened to it and enjoyed it. But in all honesty, I'm glad to be done with the trilogy. I've always been kind of sad when I finished my other series, especially the big ones, but with Stealth and Spells Online, I'm just relieved to be done and that I don't have to think about it very much anymore. It's easier to promote a finished trilogy than an unfinished series. Probably I'm going to make the first book free every three months, run some ads to it while it's free, and that will be that. I just signed up with C.J. McAllister a few days ago to do the audiobook version of Final Quest (and he did a very good job on the first two books in the trilogy), so eventually we'll probably have a Stealth and Spells Online: The Complete Trilogy audiobook, since audiobook bundles always do well and I expect a complete trilogy audiobook bundle would likewise do well. Amusingly, I realized that to finish this book, I essentially followed my own advice that I've been giving for years. I always say on this podcast and my blog that you can finish a novel if you just keep chipping away at it and small efforts add up over time. Final Quest turned out to be about 117,000 words, and I mostly got there 500 words at a time. Do I regret writing Stealth and Spells Online? No. But obviously if I had to do it all over again, I would definitely do some things differently. Will I ever return to writing in the LitRPG genre? Probably not. I listed all the popular subgenres of LitRPG earlier, and while I don't have anything against any of those subgenres, I just don't have any particular interest in writing a story that revolves around those tropes. For all that my books tend to be escapist, I always need to have at least a touchstone of reality in them so they make sense to me. Characters like Wire, Admiral Winterholt, and Alexander Maskell could definitely have their real-life (even contemporary) equivalents. LitRPG story tropes in general seem to be about a flight from reality. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but it's not something I'm really interested in writing. I mean, I designed the Andomhaim setting in Frostborn around people who traveled from Sub-Roman Britain in the 500s A.D. to a world where magic is real, so that way I could make real-world historical references. I think if pressed, I could write a pretty good novel in the genres of epic fantasy, science fiction, mystery, thriller, and romance. But I'm not at all sure I could write a good book in the LitRPG subgenres I listed. Honestly, maybe I'm just too old for it. I don't think I encountered an MMORPG for the first time until I was, I think 24 or 25 years old, and I've never actually seriously played one, so it definitely wasn't a formative experience for me the way it was for many LitRPG authors. In fact, if I'm remembering it right, my first serious encounter with an MMORPG was in fact at work when I got an IT support ticket about network throttling, complaining about how long a World of Warcraft update was taking to download. So that is how I finally finished the Stealth and Spells Online trilogy. And once again, thank you to everyone who read and listened to these Stealth and Spells Online trilogy. I hope you found it enjoyable. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

How fast is fast enough? When we look at fast payments data across countries, the US comes in pretty far behind in transactions per capita. And on the surface, this makes sense. FedNow is still new, and RTP volumes are relatively low. Join Russ Jones and Will Eisler at the Glenbrook water cooler as they debate a looser definition of fast payments, explore challenges for adoption of traditional fast payments systems in the US, and ponder if the US actually has a more advanced and widely adopted “fast” payments ecosystem when we consider how Americans are experiencing faster money movement.

When the Love Is Real… But Only in Another Dimension What happens when your heart's in a full-blown situationship... and the situation's only real in the fifth dimension?
A man once asked ‘Abdullah Ibn Masʿūd رضي الله عنه: “Tell us about the Hellfire. What is it like?” He replied: “If you were to see it, your heart would be dislodged from its place.” Jahannam is real. It exists as you read this. It's waiting. Its terror goes beyond imagination. Flames that crush the bones, melt the skin, and burn to the heart... only for the skin to return and burn again. Chains that shackle every limb. Boiling tar that coats the body. Molten drink that tears the insides apart while screams echo in despair, unanswered. In this gripping reminder, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble takes you deep into the Qur'an and hadith that uncover the Fire's horrors like you've never heard before: the angels that drag people on their faces, the seven gates each awaiting its share, and the endless punishments that drive its inmates to beg for death… only to hear: “Burn in it, and don't speak to Me.” This isn't a talk to play in the background. This is the reminder that could save you from the fire whose fuel is men and stones. Watch it. Fear it. Change before it's too late.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOO, jump in the car, we're going GAMING. Today we are digging a little deeper into good piece of "beef" that Steve got for the "submit your beef" call he put out: How do your measure success in an indie game? I summarized the whole submission here - but there are a LOT of games out there, and there seems to be no end to it. Which ones are winners and which ones are losers, and does it even really matter at all? On top of that Gage went to Chicago to a sick little gig in a cemetery and gives us the play-by-play. Steve tells us about running a Flames of Orion game at a coffee shop and running it as an RPG. Terry painted up 500 pts of Black Templar for 3rd Edition and says Streaking Grime is good (shocker).
