Hello. C J here. I’ve finally got back into the habit of writing fiction regularly after the several years I’ve spent writing cookbooks, learning to draw and reading Unreal Engine documentation about video game design. Thank goodness, I can do my actual job again. I’ve got a new novel in the works and I’m going to be releasing it chapter by chapter as I get it done. I don’t have a schedule for this but at full speed I can write 3000 words a day before I run out of ideas and need a day off.
I think I should mention that this isn’t some horrible imposition on my time or job here. This is what I prefer to spend my time doing. Stories are fun to read and they’re more fun to type. I’ve got almost 20 years of full time professional typing behind me and I know exactly what my style and skills can do. So I purposely do things that aren’t on the list to learn. It’s what I do for fun. The previous two stories I’ve published here took about a week each to write. This one is going even faster.
One more point about the new chapter, everything I write here is actually in the setting. A Song for Summermoon, Five Front Doors and this new one The Prince of Hearts are all in the setting and actually happen on the same year. It’s currently Summer in Ascala, late Spring in Tamaril and whatever time it is in the Astral because the Astral doesn’t have day or night. All of this is fully real in the timeline of the nations and all of this is compatible with the Partnership deal.
The Prince of Hearts is about Blue. Blue is a canine breed of half-wolf, one of the names for wolf shaped animalia. These are all common species in the Astral. Blue is a prince from one of the other nations in the Astral and is currently in Ascala as a trade delegate. He is fully compatible with the Partnership deal, as are the other Ascala characters Balath Regal, Azkail Anion, Ivy, William Youngsun, Benjamin Everwander and more that I haven’t put in a story yet. They all know each other as well. The new story will be novel length and the prologue is out now on the books page.

Hello. C J here. I've got two new recipes for everyone today. I meant to type up a third but for the life of me I can't find the paper index card I wrote it down on. I will have to make it again and post it later once I double check I have the right proportions. I know what's in it but the proportions are done by taste. It's for Asian style ginger baked beans as part of my Asian-barbecue book I'm working on. The book might actually end up being cards for the card game because the recipes are so simple they fit in that format. That makes my job easier. Here's our two recipes for today. The first is a new Asian style barbecue sauce I invented from scratch. This isn't based on an existing sauce. It's the product of a lot of planning and research. It's great. The second recipe is for my final draft scratch made dark chocolate. This stuff is good. I still have some of the batch I made three days ago on hand. It's too tasty to eat. There will be a mil...
