Inspiration Monday: Infernal Epistles

  By

This week in the InMon library, I’m minding my own business reading a Dia Calhoun fantasy when I realize the protagonist is bipolar. Brava, Ms. Calhoun. In other news, you still have seven days to contribute to Mark’s War of the Worlds: Retaliation Kickstarter campaign to get yourself a copy.

And now for our top stories:

What Happened After War of the Worlds?

  By

war of the worlds: retaliation

Veteran InMonster Mark Gardner is about to release a new project, but he needs your help. He’s co-authored a sequel to the H.G. Wells classic, The War of the Worlds, with John Rust, and they’ve got a Kickstarter going to fund the indie release.

Some things I find particularly exciting:

  1. This is one of those posted-on-a-fanfic-site-and-people-loved-it stories. Now it’s going to be a real book on paper.
  2. According to the Kickstarter page, this is the first War of the Worlds sequel to come out after Wells’ copyright termination. Oooo.
  3. There is going to be an audiobook, and you can get it WITH THE EBOOK TOO for a donation of about $25, which is a very good deal.
  4. They aren’t asking for much, and they’re only $40 away from their goal right now. There are 13 days left. It’s SO CLOSE.

I have no skin in this game (they are not sponsoring this blog, haha), but it seems like a really exciting project, so I hope you’ll check it out.

Learn more and help here.

 

Inspiration Monday: Soul Surgeon

  By

This week at the InMon table: Why do they insist on one big meal to replace both lunch and dinner on Thanksgiving? It’s not like I can eat any more in one sitting just because I starved myself earlier. So ironically, despite having around 40 lbs of turkey and ham on top of that, I don’t think I ate enough on Thursday. In other news, you could find out which planet makes the best French fries and other wonderful things if you followed me on Pinterest.

Inspiration Monday: Vegetable Oppression

  By

This week at InMon station alpha, Thanksgiving! Turkey never really got me excited but there will be pie. Gratitude is a big factor in happiness, so I hope you all take a moment to remember what you’re grateful for, no matter what country you’re from. I also hope you can eat some pie.

Inspiration Monday: Comfortably Numb

  By

This week in the InMon Nation: Telling someone I like Pink Floyd, having someone test me by asking me to name one person in the band, naming Roger Waters uncertainly because it had been very long day and after all I can like a band without knowing all their names I mean who the heck knows the names of the Beach Boys there’s like a million of them not that I love them as much as Pink Floyd but hey there are a lot of Rogers in classic rock I mean look at Roger Daughtry, and someone telling me that isn’t one of them, and then me looking it up later, and finding out I was right all along.

Take that, guy at the range wearing a hat. Take that!

In other news, the moon is big tonight.
