The Astral Chronicle Updates - Proofreading is Done

 Hello. C J here. I've just finished proofreading the first The Astral Chronicle novel for print. It's 130 letter pages long with two columns for easier reading. The whole document is ready to be sent to the printer for mass production. I'm still working on the book bindings but the document is ready for when I have those ready. The bindings will be done by me by hand using high quality report covers off Amazon.

I'm going to remind everyone that I have an industrial quality home printer with 2000 pages worth of ink on one refill. It's an hp 5101 if anyone wants to look it up. My family and I acquired it together. It will be using that 2000 pages of ink frequently with the job I have lined up for it. I'm using it to print the final novel for sale. One copy will cost $35 and I do accept bulk orders when I have the time. If anyone wants a class set the novel is at all times appropriate to children and I'd be extremely happy to provide any number of it for that job.

I own the PDF document I'm printing it out of and the printing technology so I can manufacture an unlimited amount of these. I'm thinking print batches will probably be in the hundreds once I get it set up. I'm planning on selling these at comic book conventions, furry conventions and also at public book readings. I'm going to be scheduling the book readings myself here in Kingston, Ontario through Facebook. I'm hoping to have this all set up by the start of next calendar year. See you then.

Chinese Food That is Very Saucy

Hello. C J here. I read a lot of cookbooks. This is done mostly for fun. I’m currently reading a short but really interesting book about traditional Chinese cooking. The book was written by an Indian author who has clearly researched Chinese food very well but some of the translations of recipes or concepts get a bit strange. I’m currently done the soups and starters section and am onto the section labelled ‘food that is saucy.’ Cool? Is it also savvy? There’s a surprisingly large amount of ketchup in the recipes. No I don’t think I want a recipe for hot and sour soup that is thickened ketchup water with vinegar and a bit of cabbage. No I also don’t want to take a slice of white wonderbread, roll it into a tube, stuff it with canned corn, deep fry it and then top it with sesame seeds. What in God’s name do they eat in China? And why is it specifically an image of white wonderbread? China? Are you okay? I managed to take out the vinegar, water and corn starch that makes up most of the h...

Four New Recipes for January

 Hello. C J here. I've got four new recipes for everyone here. We have everything from Chinese chicken to homemade hot apple cider. Enjoy. The Emperor’s Potatoes Here we have the first food item I ever finished designing for Food of the World – Carthia. I tried three combinations of traditional Asian ingredients and pasta under the assumption that I was doing Italian-Chinese food for the book. I could not for the life of me get any of them to be exciting. They were fine. I don’t eat fine. I got bored of the pasta thing and then thought to myself, ‘what happens if I swap the pasta for another starch? What about a potato?’ It worked. Really well. It worked so well I named them The Emperor’s Potatoes. They’re mashed potatoes and I left the skins on because I like vitamins and then that got me thinking about the traditional medicinal food of Ancient China, ginger. Could I put ginger in a potato dish and have it work? Yes. I can. That surprised me. Be warned, these are almost dangerousl...

Let's All Be Friends, No Really - Part Two

 Hello. C J here. I’ve updated my plans to make a Discord server for everyone here and on Facebook. Making a Discord server to my knowledge costs money. However, making a Facebook group does not. I’ve made a few of those over the years as well for various reasons. I’m going to look into this soon and then add the links here and in the menus here as well. I’m certain a Facebook group is what we need. I’m planning a number of chats within the group. So far my current plans are as follows. Art and Artwork Health and Wellness Food and Baking Magic and Spirituality Writing and Software NSFW I’m planning a private group but if I can get it open entry without a form or sign up page or anything. As for rules I’m going to reuse some from past of these I’ve done. Everyone is Welcome Be Polite Advertising is Allowed Follow the Content Ratings The Facebook group will take some planning but not any actual effort to build. It’s that simple. Thanks. C J Mcpherson
