So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 246 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is April 4, 2025, and today we are looking at professional development for writers. Before we get to our main topic, we'll have Coupon of the Week, an update on my current writing and audiobook projects, Question of the Week, and then a look back at how my various ads performed for March 2025. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Dragonskull: Curse of the Orcs, Book Four in the Dragonskull series (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) at my Payhip store. That coupon code is ORCCURSE50. As always, you can find the coupon code and the links to my store in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through April 25th, 2025. So if you need a new audiobook for spring, we have got you covered. Now for an update on my current writing projects. I'm very pleased to report that the rough draft of Shield of Battle is done, 102,800 words written in 22 days. That will be the second to last book in the Shield War series. If all goes well, I'm still hoping to have that out and edited and published before the end of the month. I'm now working on a currently untitled short story that newsletter subscribers will get for free in ebook form when Shield of Battle comes out. So this might be a great time to sign up for my new release newsletter. I am also 10,000 words into Ghost in the Corruption and that will be my main project after Shield of Battle is out. Recording is still underway for Shield of Deception and Ghost in the Assembly. That is Brad Wills and Hollis McCarthy narrating, respectively. So I am looking forward to having those audiobooks out for you to listen to and then Shield the Battle and Ghost in the Corruption available for you to read, but I just have to get back to work on them. 00:01:48 Question of the Week Now it's time for Question of the Week. Question of the Week is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question, what games (if any) are you currently playing? No wrong answers, including “I don't play video games”. The inspiration for this question was that the fact that Nintendo was having this big Switch 2 announcement on April 2, which is amusing to me personally on a meta level because people have been speculating wildly about a Switch successor for years. Baseless Switch 2 rumors have been a clickfarm industry for years. Probably Nintendo had to have it on April 2 so no one would think it was a really elaborate April Fool's Day joke. Justin says: Online it would be World of Warcraft Classic. Otherwise, it is Conquest of the New World. Like me, my games are old and dated. I can relate to Justin because I'm currently playing a game that was first made in 1994, but more on that later. Sam says: Currently dancing between two games, my long-term love game, Final Fantasy 14 and Dragon Age: the Veilguard. The Veilguard was a massive disappointment for me, unfortunately, but it still has its reasonably okay points, but man, the developers dropped the ball in the worst way since Cyberpunk's disastrous release. That's interesting because I've actually encountered a couple different people who have played Dragon Age: Veilguard and they either love it or hate it. There is just no in-between. So that does seem to be the kind of game where you either love the thing or you just hate it. Todd says: Enjoying No Man's Sky, waiting for Light No Fire. Continuing to grind World of Warcraft retail. Recently played the re-release of Half Life. Today, I also installed Lands of Lore, gotta love Patrick Stewart as King Richard! I had forgotten that Patrick Stewart voiced King Richard back in the ‘90s in the Lands of Lore game. His most famous video game part (I think) is playing Emperor Uriel Septim in the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. JKM says: Monster Hunter Wilds and Star Citizen. Jesse says: Been doing an on and off run on Enshrouded. The story hasn't hugely gripped me as yet, but the mechanics are fun if you like Breath of the Wilds-esque world exploration. Michael says: I'm currently playing Star Traders: Frontiers, which is a 2D indie space trading/exploration/crew management game in a vaguely Dune-like setting. It has turn based squad combat in Darkest Dungeon style too. Originally a mobile game but mechanics are surprisingly deep. It's good fun. Randy says: Wizardry Remaster. Ironic because I didn't play the original. For myself, I am kind of alternating between three current games. I am playing the Master of Magic remake on the PC and I'm determined to finally beat a campaign at that. I am still playing Iratus: Lord of the Dead and drawing closer to the final level. And when I'm really tired and don't want to do anything else that requires a lot of brain power, I still fire up some Starfield and go really mess up the day of some procedurally generated space pirates. So watch my website and Facebook for Question of the Week if you want to have your comment read on the show as well. 00:04:39 Ad Results for March 2025 Now let's look at how my ads for my books did in March 2025, which is interesting because I changed things up a fair bit for ads in March. The reason I did this is because the economy isn't great and not likely to improve for several years. I saw someone arguing that all the policy decisions in the Covid era will have a 15 year economic hangover into which we're only five years, and I think that argument might have some merit to it. So because of that, I thought it might be prudent to move some older series into Kindle Unlimited. So I did that with the Demonsouled books and with Cloak Games, though not with Cloak Mage, which will remain wide as new books come out. I might do it with Silent Order as well, but I haven't decided. My thinking is that as people are looking to economize, subscription services will probably offer better value than direct book sales. So let's see how we did. For Facebook ads, I did Cloak Games/Cloak Mage and The Ghosts. For Games/Cloak Mage, I got $4.14 back for every $1 spent, with 10% of the profit coming from the audiobooks. For The Ghosts, I got back $8.73 for every dollar spent, with 6% of the profit coming from the audiobooks. Obviously the total for The Ghosts might be inflated because of Ghosts in the Assembly, which did well. Thanks, everyone! Without Ghosts in the Assembly, The Ghosts still would've done $3.68 for every dollar spent, with 15% for the profit coming from the audiobooks. So still pretty good. For Amazon ads, I mostly focused on Half-Elven Thief. Remember that for an Amazon ad to be successful, it needs to get a sale or a complete Kindle Unlimited read for every six to eight clicks. So for Half-Elven Thief, I got back $3.41 for every $1 spent, with a sale or a complete KU read for every 0.84 clicks, which is a really good result. However, it was not all roses in Amazon ads because I gave up on advertising Stealth and Spells Online: Creation. I've realized I fundamentally misunderstood what readers in the LitRPG actually want. I'm still going to finish the series this summer with the final book. I am 75,000 words into it as of this recording, but I don't think I'm going to advertise the series anymore. For Demonsouled, I did a combined Facebook/Amazon ads campaign and for a combined campaign like that, it's easiest just to track the return. So for Demonsouled, I got back $2.53 for every dollar spent on Facebook and Amazon ads. So that was pretty close to how it did in February. I also did some BookBub ad campaigns for The Ghosts and Sevenfold Sword on Apple. For The Ghosts, we got back $9.24 for every dollar I spent and for Sevenfold Sword, I got back $6.76 back for every dollar spent. So those are some very good results. Finally, I've begun experimenting with BookBub ads for Google Play. I tried out Sevenfold Sword first and for Sevenfold Sword on Google Play with BookBub ads, we got back $3.86 for every dollar. So that is a promising beginning and I might try more experiments with BookBub ads and Google Play in May. So a good month all in all. Thanks for reading, everyone. Hopefully I'll have more new books for you soon. 00:07:46 Main Topic: Professional Development So our main topic this week will be part three of our series on writing adjacent activities, and that is professional development. As I mentioned on past episodes, I'm working on a new podcast series on what I call writing adjacent activities. What do I mean by this? I'm talking about the tasks that seem like they're a part of the writing process but really belong in a different category. These tasks are important, but they can also be a pitfall if you spend too much time on them or don't use that time correctly. In this series, we'll focus on a few of these tasks and how they can benefit or hinder your writing process, even though they seem like good uses of time and may in fact be beneficial in proper amounts. In this episode, we'll talk about professional development for writers. Those working in education, healthcare, or the corporate world will be very familiar with this concept. For those who aren't familiar with professional development, let's explain what it is. What is professional development and what is it for writers specifically? Professional development generally means gaining skills or knowledge that can help someone stay current in their field and grow in their work. In some fields like teaching or healthcare, professional development is required and must be done regularly. Some examples of typical professional development tasks include learning a new programming language, attending conferences, and reading professional journals. Writers have many of these same opportunities. Ther are a slew of conferences, workshops, webinars, videos, courses, and books available for writers to hone their craft, pick up marketing skills, and learn the ever evolving technical skills needed to self-publish and have an online presence. Some of these options, especially conferences and retreats, can be very expensive and time consuming while others are free and quick to consume, such as blog posts or podcast episodes. How can you benefit from professional development? There are five ways. #1: You can learn information and techniques that can help you improve your writing. An example would be a workshop session presenting data on when readers typically give up when starting a new book, which can help you think about how your book is structured. #2: You can learn about technology and software that can make your work more efficient or look more professional. An example of this would be tutorials on how to use formatting software to turn Word documents into a formatted ebook. #3: In-person professional development can help you network with others in your field. For example, if one of your priorities is being added to group promotion, meeting other authors at a workshop or a conference could lead to more promising leads than just emailing people. #4: You can keep up with the constant changes in the field and adjust your strategies and plans accordingly. For example, Amazon's policies for KDP change constantly, sometimes monthly, it feels like. Writing blogs and podcasts can often explain these changes in a practical way that's more efficient than trying to parse long legal documents yourself. #5: Finally, and fifthly, some people find professional development motivational or it helps them to feel more excited about their work. An example is a phenomenon called the post conference high, when someone returns from a conference with a high level of excitement and a list of plans a mile long. It's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day tasks of work and sometimes professional development can shake things up in a positive way. So professional development can be a good thing, but there are ways it can hinder your writing process. So we'll look at four ways that professional development can get in the way of you actually sitting down and getting some writing done. #1: One of the downsides of being a writer is that professional development must be self-funded or you must pursue your own scholarships or grants for it, which are pretty limited compared to professional development in other fields. It is quite easy to spend tens of thousands of dollars on it each year, so each opportunity must be carefully considered. It's important not to spend money without a clear plan for how to turn it into action and without researching less expensive (but still effective) options that might serve your purposes. It's also important to look carefully to see if you can find lower cost options before registering for something. For example, instead of going to a weeklong residential bootcamp to learn WordPress, you could find a community education class or a LinkedIn Learning class (which many libraries provide to their patrons). Do you need a full course offered by another author or are you only interested in one portion of it and can learn that information from a YouTube channel? There is a lot of nonsense on the Internet of course, but one of the advantages of living in the modern era is that there is an abundance of good free information. You just have to find it. My podcast transcriptionist has something that she likes to call the Two Buck Chuck Principle. It is named after the store brand of wine from Trader Joe's. That's way back when it was $2 a bottle, hence the popular nickname for it. Many people refuse to stray from this cheapest available option at the store because they find it meets their alcohol related needs and refuse to buy more expensive bottles. The point of this principle is that like those Trader Joe's shoppers, my podcast transcriptionist will search for the free and low cost option for something first and then see what is missing from them that a more expensive option offers before buying the more expensive option. For example, if you're just starting out as a writer, you may be tempted to pay $3,000 or $4,000 for consulting sessions about advertising strategies because you read a convincing testimonial. Realistically, if you only have one or two books with only a handful of reviews and you're not willing to throw thousands of additional dollars on a professional style ad campaign, this would be severe overkill. Applying the Two Buck Chuck Principle to this person's ad spending, it would make more sense to learn the basics first through webinars and blog posts on the topic. Something like Brian Cohen's Five Day Amazon Ad Challenge would teach the basics of using the interface and some strategies that keep a rookie from overspending or straying from their target audience. Once a writer has a few years of sales and several books in the same series, then perhaps it might be wise to progress to something more advanced and expensive, like hiring a consultant. For most professional development, if you're paying money, you're either paying for being in a physical location or you're paying for the time someone else took to assemble and present the knowledge for you (in the case of a conference or workshop, both). For the latter, you can usually apply this Two Buck Chuck Principle by taking the time to assemble the knowledge yourself or find others who have through blogs, podcasts, and lower cost books. Someone like Joanna Penn or David Gaughran provides a wealth of sensible advice through these types of much lower cost options. #2: Professional development, like many other writing adjacent activities, can give you the illusion of progress. Knowing about something and actually doing it are very different things. You have to have a specific plan for how you will implement your professional development. The sooner you start after completing your professional development activity, the more likely you are to benefit from it. Even five minutes a day working on it helps keep the knowledge fresh and gives you the confidence to continue. #3: The number of available options for professional development can be paralyzing and it can be easy to feel like you have to do it all. The fear of missing out is a very real phenomenon, but it's necessary to combat it by being intentional with your time. Start by making your goals for the next year and then seeing what professional development you need to further those goals. For example, if creating video content is not part of your goals for the year, then it doesn't make sense to watch webinars on creating Instagram Reels or TikTok videos, even if you feel like it might be useful or you have a fear of missing out on the information. Your professional development, your goals, and your output all need to be in harmony in order to progress as a writer. I have talked before about how a certain degree of tunnel vision is necessary to write at the pace that I do. Because I want to publish frequently, I often ignore conference and workshop opportunities because travel actively hinders my main goal of getting down as many words as possible each day. #4: Professional development can take up so much time that it keeps you from the priority of writers, which is actually writing. Like the other writing adjacent activities out there, they expand to the size you'll allow. Planning your professional development goals for the year when you've created your writing goals can help you be disciplined in choosing the activities that will serve you best and fit with the time you can give them. For example, if your goal is to set up an author website in May, you can allocate a little block of time each day for that month to watching tutorials, reading instructions, checking out other author sites for inspiration, and testing out the software. You wouldn't want to attend a three week intensive writing retreat in May because that would likely derail your progress on your other goal. So finally, what do I personally do for professional development? What has helped me? I think the biggest help I had in terms of writing advice was a book called Billion Dollar Outlines by David Farland. It's well worth reading and a good look at story structure and understanding story structure that I think would be very helpful if you're struggling to finish an outline and write a book. Most of my professional development since then has been aimed towards the goal of trying to sell as many books as possible. So I took the Self-Publishing Formula course on advertising for Facebook, which was very helpful. I read a couple of different books on Facebook advertising, which was helpful. What was really helpful was a course on Photoshop I took in 2020 and 2021 that really increased my Photoshop skills and gave me the ability to do my own covers, which is very helpful because you often have to book a cover designer out well in advance. So that was very useful. And beyond that, I keep an eye on the various writing podcasts and Facebook groups. I don't really participate in the Facebook groups because that can be a huge time sink. Arguing with random people over the internet is not a productive use of time, but it is a good way to keep an eye on news within the indie author space and what people are doing and what trends you can expect to see. So that's what I do. In short, professional development, like so many other writing adjacent activities, is a good thing that can hinder your progress if it's not done with intentionality and clear goals. As I said earlier in the podcast, your professional development, your goals, and your output all need to be harmonized in order to progress as a writer. So that is it for this week.

Welcome to Episode 200 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May the 10th, 2024 and today we are celebrating the 200th episode of this podcast by taking a look back at how people have found my books. We'll also close out the show with a preview of the upcoming Ghost in the Veils audiobook. First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. To celebrate the 200th episode of this podcast, we're going to have a special coupon code that will get you 25% off every single item at my Payhip store. That coupon code is 200THEPISODE, which is spelled 200THEPISODE and the coupon code and the link to my Payhip will be included in the show notes for this episode. That's right, the coupon code will give you 25% off every single ebook or audiobook on my Payhip store and is good through May 20th, 2024. So if you're looking for something to read or listen to, we have got you covered. Now let's have an update on current writing projects. The rough draft of Cloak of Titans is done, and I am about 2/3 of the way through the first editing pass. If all goes well, I am hoping to have that out before the end of May. I've also written a short story called Blood Walk and newsletter subscribers will get a free ebook copy of that short story when Cloak of Titans comes out. So this is an excellent time to sign up for my new release newsletter. You'll get 3 free epic fantasy novels when you do. Once Cloak of Titans is published, my next main project will be Shield of Darkness, which will hopefully come out towards the end of June or the start of July. I am also about 11,000 words into Half-Orc Paladin, the third Rivah book, and I will make that my main project after Shield of Darkness is done, so that book will probably come out before the end of this summer, if all goes well. 00:01:57 Main Topic/Question of the Week And our Question of the Week is also this week's main topic. It's a question that I can't answer myself, but I asked because I wanted to talk about it for this episode of the podcast, and the question is, which book of mine did you first read, and how did you come across it (since Cloak of Titans will be, I believe, my 152nd novel)? I expected a wide range of responses and we got them. Our first response is from Roman who says: first one was Demonsouled. I looked for free books when I downloaded the Kindle app for my new iPad and have read everything you've written since. I guess your plan of giving away the first book for free worked on me. That is why I give those books away for free. Our next response is from Dave, who says: I found Child of the Ghosts on BookBub. The title was intriguing. It was also free. I now have an extensive Jonathan Moeller collection on my Kindle Library. Our next response comes from Joachim, who says: Ghost Omnibus One and Ghost Exile Omnibus One were $0.99, so I purchased both. I continued with Ghost Exile, backfilling the Ghost stories later. You would not be able to answer your own question obviously, but would you be able to answer us the following question: what was the first fantasy book you published? That would been Demonsouled back in 2005, when it was traditionally published and later I got the rights back and self-published it for the first time in 2011 and then later made it free. Our next response is from Mark, who says: I found Child of the Ghosts on Kindle. Sam says Frostborn: The Gray Knight. I was looking for a new fantasy series to read after I finished the Codex Alera. Came across it while scrolling through Amazon and thought, huh, why not? Little did I know all these years later I would have an addiction to your novels. Well, there are worse problems to have. I agree very much. Our next response is from Tarun who says: read Child of the Ghosts first on the Kindle web app. Todd says: Child of the Ghosts. Caina is a great Ghost nightfighter. Mary says: Frostborn. I forget why. That seems entirely appropriate, because I wrote Frostborn 11 years ago now. Yes, eleven years ago now, because I wrote it in 2003, so I can barely remember writing it at this point, let alone how someone might come across it. Our next response is from Justin: Demonsouled. Free book offer. Steve says: Iron Hand. If I remember right, it came up as a suggestion on the Kindle app. Sara says: Frostborn. It was $0.99 and then after I finished that series, Child of the Ghosts on a 99 cent deal. Thuvia says: Thief Trap-finished it on September 14th, 2016. I don't recall how I found it, but maybe BookBub? I know the book covers amused me since they're nothing like how Nadia dresses. I have since changed the Cloak Games and Cloak Mage covers, but the original covers definitely did not reflect how Nadia dresses in the series. Our next response is from William, who says: Iron Hand, which I discovered through William King's blog when you posted your blog post on how to write and publish an ebook at no cost using free software. I remember that blog post. That got a lot of traction, especially because I've written an entire book, Silent Order: Eclipse Hand, in order to prove that point. Our next response is from Kermit, who says: the Ghost Omnibus. I was researching the next fantasy author I wanted to read because David Eddings had died. I came across your Ghosts series and decided to try it. Ann-Marie says: Child of the Ghosts. The title caught me. It was part of Kindle's recommendations for things I should try next. I was also getting off of a mystery genre binge so I wanted something different to dive into. I love Caina. She's so cool. Whoops, forgot to add Goodreads says I read it back in July 2017. Kevin says: the first books of yours were The Frostborn Omnibus One on the 21st of April 2017. I came across it on Amazon search while looking for stuff to read in the car whilst waiting for my son to come out of school. It was £0.99, so throw away money really and worth look. Since then I have, amongst others, read a further 103 books of yours to date. So it seems that making Frostborn Omnibus One $0.99 turned out to be a really good idea. Our next response is from Lee, who says: Frostborn the Gray Knight was the first ebook I picked up to read. I started because of the book description. Since then I have read almost every book you have published. Perry says: Demonsouled with the original public domain cover art (the best of the covers, in my opinion) searching for books to add to my Kobo. And I stumbled across Smashwords. I searched for free fantasy books, and your books were near the top of the results. This was just shortly after you started self-publishing. I originally grabbed a whole slew of your books there. I have since purchased and continue to buy your ebooks through Kobo. I get points for being a VIP plus a free book every year from a select list. All your short stories I buy on Kobo as well. Audiobooks I get through your Payhip store. Ah, that takes me way back because way back. In 2011 when I started self-publishing, I couldn't afford cover art of any kind, so what I had to do was look for classic artwork scenes that were in the public domain since you can reuse public domain art freely. You do in fact see a lot of traditionally published books that have old like Renaissance or Baroque paintings, for the cover. That was the original covers Demonsouled and Child of the Ghosts, public domain artwork from the 19th century. Our next response is from Lauren, who says: Child of the Ghosts on Smashwords, but I read primarily through Kindle these days. Nadia is my favorite, but I hope to use the Ghost and/or Demonsouled settings one day in our group's tabletop RPGs. Our next response is from Jesse, who says: Frostborn Omnibus One. I was sitting in an IHOP and I had just finished the last ebook in my queue. Google Books suggested it. It was a dollar for three and half books, so I figured why not? Still had half a plate of food to go. I have subsequently bought and read pretty much everything of yours is readily available and actively tracking all the series. Good stuff. I'm glad that worked out because that is one of the better stories I've ever heard of what happens in an IHOP. Our next comment is from Becca, who says: Demonsouled, when it first came out on Kindle. I can remember waiting eagerly for each book in the series. Still one of my favorites. Thank you for all the writing! Rhion says: Demonsouled. I just finished a bunch of Quantrell and Peloquin books and it popped up under suggested reading on KU. Since then, I've read quite literally your entire fiction bibliography, which is just ridiculous. Our next comment comes from Jonathan (a different Jonathan than me) and he says: first book I actually read was the Frostborn Omnibus, the first three books plus The First Quest all bundled into one. I got them on Google Play because I got a gift card for Christmas and I think the omnibus was on sale. So I couldn't resist getting four whole books for cheap, which of course led into the rest of the series and to Sevenfold Sword and to Mallison and to Dragontiarna. Mandy says: I read the Frostborn prequel and found it on the freebie list on Amazon at the time. I read everything released in that universe, as well as the Demonsouled series and am now working my way through the Ghosts series. Our next comment is from Randy, who says: Child of the Ghosts was my first. I was desperately searching for new authors and it was one of about a dozen free novels I picked up several years ago. Caina's story was so good I finished in one sitting. After I devoured what was available at the time for the Ghost books, I moved on to Frostborn. Then I found you also wrote science fiction. I've read all the different series to date and I haven't been found wanting yet. Well, not true. I'm always wanting the next book. That's why I'm working hard on the next book. Our next comment is from Martin who says: I started with the Gray Knight. I instantly loved it and the rest of the series, at least what was published at the time. When I ran out of them, I looked you up and read the Demonsouled books. After that, moved on to Caina and only recently I moved on to Nadia. I also find they have a lot of readability. Our next comment is from Lauren, who says: Child of the Ghosts, after the third book in the series was out. Found it when searching for a new read on Amazon. Was hooked from there. Marta says: I'm sure it was a Bookbub deal. I think it was the Frostborn Omnibus. Jacob says: The Gray Knight. Came across it after looking for a new series to read after I caught up on the Half-Orc series by David Dalglish. Barbara says: Demonsouled or Child of the Ghosts. It's been so long. I'm not sure which was first. Having been the one to write those books so long ago, I totally understand where she's coming from. Our next response is from Cheryl, who says: the first Ridmark Arban book. Can't remember the name, may have been The Gray Knight? That is entirely correct. It was, in fact Frostborn: The Gray Knight. Our next response is from JKM who says: the first Ghost book and I cannot remember where I came across it. John says Demonsouled on Kindle. Amazon suggested to me way, way back. I picked up a used printed copy I discovered at my local fantasy and science fiction store, Dark Carnival. Shortly afterwards gave it to my son, who enjoyed it as well. That is a deep cut, because Demonsouled was originally published in 2005 in hardback and very quickly went out of print. So I'm impressed that John managed to find one of those copies still floating out there in the used book market. Cathy says: Frostborn Omnibus One. I saw the $0.99 price and thought if I don't like it, I'm only out a dollar. Once I finished it, I started looking for other books by you and have read almost every series you've written. Michael says. I think it was Ghost in the Flames. It was early 2010s (2013 maybe?), and I just discovered the joy of self-published fantasy authors on the Kindle store. As soon as I read it, I was hooked. Bonnie says: Frostborn omnibus. It was cheap, looked interesting, so I gave it a try. Then Tower of Endless Worlds- totally hooked and now I have all the books! Michiel says: Demonsouled. It was free, so I gave it a go and started collecting everything you wrote since then. Jason says: I honestly can't remember. I think it might have been the first Caina omnibus with an Audible audiobook that I played in my car while driving to work. Then the second and I ran out of audiobooks, so I had to start reading them myself. Phillipe says: The very first Caina book, been hooked since. Susan says: Demonsouled. I was searching for something to read, and it sounded good. I have now read everything and am patiently waiting for more. Melinda says Child of the Ghosts. It was free and I was broke and bored. That is why I give away the free books: to entertain people who are broke and bored. Our next comment is from Juliana, who says: the first Ghosts book. Judy says: Child of the Ghosts. I was on Google Play and was recommended. Tom says: The Frostborn Omnibus One, on sale on Amazon. The rest is history. Justin says: The Gray Knight was a suggestion based on what I read on Apple Library. Ashley (who I believe is in fact engaged to Justin) says: My first book was also The Gray Knight and Justin was the reason I started reading this series. So thanks for the recommendations, Justin! James says: Demonsouled on Kindle way back when. It was free and a good name. I mean how Demonsouled isn't a band name yet, I have no idea. The rest, as they say, is many, many series later. I fully understand. Our next comment is from Juana who says: Frostborn: The Gray Knight. It was in a BookBub offering. Shandy says: I was in a book hangover and saw your Frostborn series on sale on Google Play Books. Omnibus got me and like 100 plus books later, safe to say I'm a fan. Beverly says: Demonsouled. It's been so long. I don't know what led me to get it. Most likely just window shopping for next read and I thought it'd be something I would enjoy. Andrew says Frostborn series. Suggested by Kindle. I've read most of what you've written since. Just can't get into Demonsouled, so don't know why. I've got those books. Just doesn't click. Christopher says: Demonsouled. I got the first book free on my Nook, like I found most of my favorite authors. I also read another one of the first book free ones at the same time, but I didn't like it. I don't remember something about a tower and magic. Then I read the Frostborn series. You were far enough into it that by the time I started I was playing catch up as you released books. I may have had to wait a week or two for the last book to come out. Then I started Cloak Games. That is still in my top three favorite series of all time. Probably top two with Spinward Fringe by Randolph Lalonde. I have read pretty much everything you've written by now. David says: Thief Trap. Found via Facebook ad. Venus says: Thief Trap. Found it doing a search for free urban fantasy on my Nook. So those are some of the first books of mine that people have read and the ways in which they found them. I think we can safely say that giving away the first book in your series for free turned out to be a very good idea. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has read any of my books as, as you probably guessed, have been doing this for a long time. Demonsouled was first published in April 2011 (for self-published, rather); it was initially published in hardback way back in May 2005. So I clearly have been doing this for a long time and I am very grateful to everyone who has read a book or listened to an audiobook or come along for the ride. I'm also very grateful to everyone who has listened to this podcast over 200 episodes. And here's to more interesting episodes in the future. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful. A reminder that you can listen to all the back episodes with transcripts (transcripts are available from Episode 140 onwards) on https://thepulpwritershow.com. If you enjoyed the podcast, please leave a review on your podcasting platform of choice. Stay safe. Stay healthy and see you all next week. And now let's close out the show with a preview of the audio book of Ghost in the Veils, as excellently read by Hollis McCarthy: Caina gazed at the wrapped bundle in the back of the wagon. Thankfully, no blood had leaked from it. Though perhaps she shouldn't have worried. Only a few people in Malarae would have recognized the dark green liquid as blood. The wagon itself was nothing remarkable. A bit old and worn, though none of the planks had rotted and the wheels were in mostly good shape. A pair of placid draft horses pulled the vehicle, the animals well-accustomed to the noises and smells of the Imperial capital. The only thing unusual was the bundle resting in the back.It was almost the precise size and shape of the corpse of a grown man. To be fair, it was a corpse. Just not of a grown man. Or a grown woman. Or indeed anything human. Caina didn't know what it was, but she intended to find out. “Will there be anything else, Countess?” said her seneschal, a Saddaic man named Talzain. He wore the formal black clothes of a Nighmarian servant. Combined with his wan complexion, the outfit always made him look a bit corpselike. “No, thank you,” said Caina. “I should be back in time for dinner with Lord Kylon and Lady Kalliope.” “Yes,” said Talzain. He cleared his throat. “That ought to be…interesting.” “You have a gift for understatement,” said Caina. Kylon and Kalliope had their own errands in the city. When Kalliope had fled New Kyre with her children ahead of the Cult of Rhadamathar, she had taken some money and baggage with them, but she had been forced to leave it behind at the Wrecked Warship near the ocean harbor of Malarae. Fortunately, the innkeeper had kept all of Kalliope's baggage on hand. Partly because Anastasios was an honest man and partly because he feared the vengeance of Kalliope's father. Lysikas Stormblade had a formidable reputation, even among the Kyracians living in Malarae. So Kalliope had gone with some of Caina's servants to retrieve her baggage and buy such things as Nikarion and Zoe might need. Kylon himself was keeping watch over the twins. Caina suggested that he take them riding to see the city, and he agreed. The children, in awe of the father they had never known they had, had made no protest. Ardakh, Sethroza, and the other Cultists were still out there, but if they tried to attack the children in Kylon's presence, they would regret it bitterly.

Bogdan Feręc komentuje głosowanie nad wotum nieufności dla premiera Borisa Johnsona. Choć szef rządu JKM utrzymał się na stanowisku, to nie ma powodów do zadowolenia. Uwidoczniło się, ilu ma przeciwników we własnej partii. Pretendentem do nowego lidera rządu i Partii Konserwatywno-Unionistycznej jest Jeremy Hunt. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/radiownet/message
Na naszych oczach szefowa Trybunału Konstytucyjnego Julia Przyłębska wznosi się na wyżyny swego prawniczego kunsztu. Niestety, nie jest to kunszt wykorzystywany do obrony wartości zapisanych w Konstytucji. Chodzi o kasę, a konkretnie — o kasę Przyłębskiej. „Stan po Burzy” ujawnia kulisy koronkowej operacji, którą Przyłębska prowadzi od półtora roku po to, aby ukryć swój majątek. Właśnie po raz pierwszy w historii oświadczenie majątkowe Przyłębskiej zostało utajnione, choć jeszcze rok temu było jawne. Co wartego ukrycia przybyło jej w ciągu roku? Według ustaleń autorów „Stanu po Burzy” Agnieszki Burzyńskiej („Fakt”) oraz Andrzeja Stankiewicza (Onet.pl), Przyłębska kupiła dom pod Warszawą, w którym regularnie imprezuje z politykami PiS i zaufanymi sędziami Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, w tym Krystyną Pawłowicz. Czemu chce go ukryć? Ano dlatego, że jednocześnie dysponuje apartamentem w Warszawie, wynajętym za publiczne pieniądze. Gdyby wyszło na jaw, że ma dom 20 minut jazdy (służbowym autem z ochroną) od centrum stolicy, a jednocześnie płacimy grube pieniądze za wynajem jej apartamentu w centrum, to zostałoby to źle odebrane. Wszak idąc do władzy PiS deklarował skromność, a nie łapczywość. A zatem lepiej podmiejską chałupę ukryć — kluczowa w tej operacji jest „kaskadowa” interpretacja prawa, która posłużyła do tego, by ustawowo jawne oświadczenie majątkowe Przyłębskiej ukryć przed naszym oburzeniem. Wiele do ukrycia ma także Zbigniew Ziobro. Piętą achillesową jego partii Solidarna Polska są finanse. Dekadę temu, gdy Ziobro odszedł z PiS i założył swoje ugrupowanie, systematycznie doił Parlament Europejski, finansując z unijnych środków działalność partyjną. Szkopuł w tym, że to nielegalne. Nielegalne jest także wpłacanie pieniędzy na partię przez podstawionych ludzi. A tak się składa, że na Solidarną Polskę płaciły zaskakująco sowicie rodziny założycieli partii, czyli Ziobry, ale także Jacka Kurskiego, Tadeusza Cymańskiego i — co kluczowe — Jacka Włosowicza, który przez lata był skarbnikiem ziobrystów. Faworytką „Stanu po Burzy” jest 20-letnia wówczas córka Kurskiego, która przed eurowyborami w 2014 r. dokonała trzech przelewów na 42 tys. zł. Ale hojni byli także teściowie Ziobry — wiarę w partię zięcia wycenili na niemal 140 tys. zł. W tej sytuacji brawurowym posunięciem jest to, że Ziobro właśnie wyrzucił z partii Włosowicza, który finansowo spinał działalności Solidarnej Polski. Autorów „Stanu po Burzy” bardzo bawi oficjalna wersja — że to za niepłacenie składek. Ha, ha, ha. Wszak w trudnych czasach na partię Ziobry płacił cały klan Włosowiczów, w tym 70-letni rodzice skarbnika, mieszkańcy kieleckiego blokowiska. Choć ziobryści rozpuszczają plotki, że Włosowicz spiskuje z Szymonem Hołownią, to tak naprawdę jego wiedza jest najbardziej użyteczna dla PiS. Znajomość słabych punktów inżynierii finansowej Solidarnej Polski może ułatwić PiS poskromienie Ziobry, który stał się ostatnio wyjątkowo narowisty. Włosowicz już zresztą wysyła sygnały w kierunku PiS. Emocje buzują także w Konfederacji, która — zgodnie z tradycją narodowej prawicy — zaczęła się kłócić i wewnętrznie dzielić. Z jednej strony konfederatów intensywnie atakuje opłacany przez PiS lider Marszu Niepodległości Robert Bąkiewicz — to jasne, że Bąkiewicz jest narzędziem obozu władzy, wynajętym, by odbijać narodowo-prawicowych wyborców. Z drugiej strony formację podzieliły proputinowskie i — jak mówi się w Konfederacji — „lekko pedofilskie” wypowiedzi Janusza Korwin-Mikkego. W efekcie z frakcją JKM wewnątrz Konfederacji rozstało się trzech posłów, ale to nie zakończyło prania brudów. Najnowszy spór dotyczy tego, czy Putina można nazywać „zbrodniarzem wojennym” — czego zakazał Korwin-Mikke. Trwa ujawnianie wewnętrznych maili, pojawiają się zarzuty o dywersję, wróciła nawet kłótnia o wybory prezydenckie. „Stan po Burzy” rozmawiał z politykami Konfederacji z różnych jej frakcji. Czy to początek końca tego projektu politycznego?

Publikację odcinka o głupiej i szkodliwej książce Korwina wydanej po raz pierwszy w latach 90. zaplanowaliśmy parę miesięcy temu. Wyszło nam przypadkiem, że odcinek wchodzi dzisiaj - w dniu, w którym Rosja rozpoczęła inwazję na Ukrainę. W podcaście omawiamy brednie Janusza Korwin-Mikkego m.in. na temat rodziny, przemocy domowej, bicia dzieci i żony, odcinania homoseksualnych członków rodzin od najbliższego otoczenia. W obecnej sytuacji warto jednak wspomnieć o poglądach Korwina związanych z polityką wschodnią. Źródła wszystkich zacytowanych wypowiedzi umieszczamy w komentarzu. W listopadzie 2021 roku Korwin stwierdził, że “nie ma dowodu na to, że Putin jest współodpowiedzialny za kryzys na granicy polsko-białoruskiej”. “W Rosji rządzi JE Włodzimierz W. Putin - i osiąga niemałe sukcesy” - zachwycał się prezes Konfederacji w felietonie w Super Expressie w 2018. - “Tępi lewaków, goni precz feministki i inne dziwadła, nie boi się Amerykanów, podatki dwa razy niższe niż w Unii Gejropejskiej (jak mawia p. Putin) więc i rozwój znacznie szybszy. Więc może wybrać Go na prezydenta?”. To jedna z wielu tego typu wypowiedzi. Generalnie naszym wrogiem są Niemcy i Ukraina, a w żadnym wypadku Rosja (tę światłą myśl rzucił w 2018 roku). Kto jeszcze jest naszym wrogiem? Sojusz Północnoatlantycki, oczywiście. “NATO zagraża pokojowi na świecie” - bełkotał Korwin w 2016 roku. O stacjonowaniu amerykańskich żołnierzy w Polsce stwierdził, że to “w pewnym sensie prowokacja” i "złamanie porozumienia, na mocy którego Rosja wyraziła zgodę na wstąpienie Polski do NATO" - to wypowiedzi z 2019 roku. W tym samym wywiadzie podrzucił pomysł, że jeśli nie udałoby się zawrzeć dwustronnego sojuszu z USA, to powinniśmy wyjść z Unii Europejskiej i zawrzeć sojusz z Rosją. W ostatnich miesiącach JKM zapewniał, że Putin nie wjedzie na Ukrainę. Potwierdzał to jeszcze TYDZIEŃ TEMU w rozmowie z Krzysztofem Stanowskim. Tyle warte są tezy, przewidywania i diagnozy Janusza Korwin-Mikkego (przypomnijmy: posła RP od 2019 roku!). W jakichkolwiek kwestiach. Również tych związanych z tematem książki “Vademecum ojca”, którą omawiamy w 35. odcinku Podcastexu. Zapraszamy, jednocześnie uczulając na drażliwe tematy, które poruszamy w epizodzie: jest trochę tradycyjnej korwinowej homofobii, jest o przemocy domowej, jest o przemocy seksualnej. *** Źródła wypowiedzi JKM: https://www.wprost.pl/polityka/10546567/putin-wspolodpowiedzialny-za-kryzys-na-granicy-korwin-mikke-nie-ma-dowodu.html https://www.se.pl/wiadomosci/polityka/korwin-mikke-putin-prezydentem-polski-aa-oKAG-BoHQ-P1YK.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi2bSu5qVTE https://dorzeczy.pl/kraj/116030/korwin-mikke-mowi-o-ewentualnym-sojuszu-z-rosja-wyjsciu-z-nato-i-ue.html https://twitter.com/K_Stanowski/status/1496794141258391555
Ciaran Roe and Ira Joseph break down the unprecedented price movements in recent LNG and gas markets. The discussion focuses on how we arrived at this point of unusual tightness and whether the conditions that brought us here will persist. Then the discussion turns to the evolving pricing relationship between JKM and TTF, how LNG imports have been trading above Europe's main gas hub for months, and how the US Henry Hub fits into the mix. The final segment looks ahead to how short-term price volatility may trigger changes in long-term gas and LNG contracts and the types of indexation that will underpin them. Note: Prices discussed as of date of recording 28th October 2021.

Recent dynamics driving unseasonably high JKM and TTF pricing, ranging from elevated carbon pricing and LNG outages creating supply disturbance in Asia, have further illustrated the emerging global links driving natural gas pricing. Beyond these current dynamics, European and US storage exit winter at lower levels than recent years, but what does robust US production, low pricing, record US feedgas and elevated TTF levels mean for global gas prices heading into summer? Ira Joseph, S&P Global Platts head of generating fuels and electricity power pricing, and Ryan Ouwerkerk, manager of Americas natural gas pricing, dive into the trends influencing the markets.

Ira Joseph, head of gas and power for S&P Global Platts Analytics, and Ryan Ouwerkerk, manager of Americas natural gas pricing for S&P Global Platts, are back with their first podcast of 2021 to discuss the remarkable price and market movements that have ushered in 2021, stretching from the historic drivers of JKM to $20/MMBtu to the trickle-down impact the surge has had on European and US markets.
Ira Joseph, head of gas and power for S&P Global Platts Analytics, and Ryan Ouwerkerk, manager of Americas natural gas pricing for S&P Global Platts, dive into the dynamics driving the meteoric rise of JKM in December, stretching from constraints in the Panama Canal to role of freight rates & reloads in driving JKM higher. While this has pulled TTF higher, NYMEX Henry Hub has continued to be overwhelmed by bearish elements. Will this continue into core winter demand months?
Macro Crude: Understanding Finance and The Global Economy (Oil, Stocks, Commodities, Currencies)
The premium of Asian LNG spot prices (JKM) over the US Henry Hub benchmark has widened to the highest level in nearly two years (spread >US$5/mmbtu). This is partly a function of Pacific basin supply outages coinciding with congestion at the Panama Canal. As a result JKM contracts are pricing in the cost of securing US cargoes through longer transit routes around the Cape of Good Hope (costing an extra US$2.4/mmbtu at current freight rates). Wait times outside the Panama canal have been around nine days recently (Chart of the day), adding almost $0.40/mmbtu to using the route to Northeast Asia without waiting. Panama Canal congestion is causing delays to LNG deliveries from the US to Asia, driving up freight rates Higher than average arrivals, seasonal fog and COVID-19 linked staffing reductions is causing congestion at the Panama Canal. Waiting time for vessels with unbooked slots is as long as 10-15 days and some US cargoes are now transiting through the Cape of Good Hope. The extra shipping cost associated with a 97-day round trip for a US cargo to Northeast Asia via the COGH relative to delivering to Europe is $2.40/mmbtu at prevailing freight rates and boil-off costs. The Panama route costs $1.16/mmbtu extra at current rates. The less time vessels spend holding position, the more tonnage can be freed up and made available to the spot market, in turn reducing spot freight rates. Below factors could help ease strength in the JKM Feb-21 contract to reflect the cost of securing the marginal cargo through the Panama route, rather than pricing on more longer routes at present: A sequential increase in Pacific basin supply equivalent to around 8-14 cargoes per month compared to today will help cut Northeast Asia's call on US cargoes. 3.6 Mtpa Prelude is expected to return by year-end, followed by the return of Gorgon's 15.6 Mtpa capacity at the end of Jan-21 (assuming no weld faults are found in trains one and three). The restart of production at Qatargas' 7.8 Mtpa train four at Ras Laffan next week will also boost supply, as will the ramp-up of Egyptian output—particularly from Idku, with some potentially from Damietta. Sequential declines in Northeast Asian demand for LNG over the rest of winter is also likely. Japan and Korea are expected to see improving availability in nuclear, and both countries will be drawing down LNG terminal stocks. China will also be partly relying on drawing down their undergrounds gas inventories – which have been boosted y/y by heavy injections. Per the below LHS chart, the JKM-TTF spread is incentivising transit through the Cape of Good Hope (green line). Costs of using the Panama canal have risen. With higher transit times through the Panama Canal – ships are using the route through the Cape
Ira Joseph, head of gas and power for S&P Global Platts Analytics, and Ryan Ouwerkerk, manager of Americas natural gas pricing for S&P Global Platts, are back, this time to lay out the bullish and bearish cases for Henry Hub, TTF and JKM heading into winter. While the key element will be whether winter temperatures will arrive in key global demand markets, listen in to hear about how the interplay of declining US production, bulging US and European storage inventories, floating LNG storage, new pipeline infrastructure and Chinese demand will converge to drive pricing higher or lower.
Ira Joseph, head of gas and power for S&P Global Platts Analytics, and Ryan Ouwerkerk, manager of Americas natural gas pricing for S&P Global Platts, are joined by John Hilfiker, S&P Global Platts Analytics in-house Mexico natural gas expert, to discuss the impact that the long-awaited infrastructure developments in Mexico will have on supply reliability, pricing on both sides of the border, and the long-term impact on the global LNG market. Beyond Mexico, topics include the global gas market and the continued rise of JKM and bullish tendencies in the North American market.

Hey everybody welcome the matchcast This week on the show Adam and I will dig in to the scores from Rockcastle 3 Gun Pro-AM and the USPSA Minnesota State Section Match right after we talk about where to be this week in Minnesota Action Shooting. Before we begin, if you are getting value out of this share it with one friend. Upcoming Matches in Minnesota - Number one choice for this weekend is the Jeff Kirkwold Memorial 3 Gun Match and Shootoff - Wednesday USPSA at MGFC, USPSA at Pine Island and 3 Gun at FLSC - Thursday USPSA at FLSC is not happening for JKM Match setup - If you can’t make it to JKM this weekend there is a 3 Gun Match at Fargo Moorehead, Rimfire at Pine Island and SCAPSA has Steel Challenge. All of this is available at www.hawkeyeignite.com/ Click the Match Calendar link on the home page. On the national scene there are still 67 spots left for BlueRidge in October, Fort Benning its still taking registrations and 20 spots left for Hard as Hell. Tons of shooting going on in September including the Nordic Tactical Shotgun Championship - I know many of you are getting a little burned out from the summer but we need to support this match if we want to see it happen next year. ADAMS RESULTS CORNER The Rockcastle Pro-AM USPA Minnesota State Section On the Syndicast this week we will be talking about getting out of your fear and getting over yourself through the lens of a gun giving we are doing at JKM that doesn’t require any shooting at all.
At present, health information is only focused on individual patient records. But as the CTO of this startup points out, there is no point trying to manage sick people, if you don't have the hospital beds to put them in. JKM solutions are working on software that allows every care professional to see where hospital beds are available, in real time, from a simple web browser.
