Books

 Hello. C J here. Here you can find a complete listing of all the books and downloads for the Astral series and the Legend series of games set in it. If you're looking for something to read then you're in the right pace. More will be added to this page over time. All of these downloads are free. You can find a link to the Patreon to donate to this project in the Pages menu. Enjoy!

 All of these books will also be in print. To save on the ludicrously expensive printing, shipping and retail costs of a book I’m doing the whole job myself. I own an industrial quality home printer, an hp 5101 laser ink tank printer to be exact. It can print 2000 pages on one in refill. I’m getting paper and high quality report covers off Amazon and Staples and then hand binding the books. Expect a game manual to retail directly from me for $75 and a novel directly from me for $35. The printing and binding costs are about $2.50 per book.

The digital versions will always be free. Also I never put a book out of print and once I have the system set up I will be taking direct and bulk orders for books. I am planning on selling these at conventions and hosting outdoor book readings and signings later on this or next year. I accept cash and can take cards through a Square. 

Novels 

Here's a link to my free novels and novel samples.

The Astral Chronicle

Imagine you have lived all your life in a nation. A normal nation with sky above, land below and sea on all sides. But some errand takes you beyond the borders of what you've known and so you hitch a ride on a ship going there. You sail past the place where you can no longer see land, past the boundaries of the world you know, past the place where the sky curves down and touches the horizon. Then you go through the sky and onto what lies on the other side. The vast expanse of mist and light known as the Astral. And, if you're a brave kind of soul, you'll find your place there amid the darkness and light. The Astral is home to only the brave, and the bravest of them are the Captain and his crew. This series of nine novels follows the Captain and his journeys through the Place Between Places.

Impossible Skyline

Zephyr is a teenage wind mage with a troubled home life. At night he blows off steam by flying around the buildings of downtown Ascala, where the wind is always blowing. Carbon is the leader of an all mage special task force in the city's police department. He's intelligent, capable and utterly, utterly alone. These two seemingly unrelated lives are thrust on a collision course one night when Zephyr sees one mage brutally kill another in downtown Ascala. Obsessed with finding the killer, he and Carbon both try to solve the case from opposite sides of the law. But the murders are only the beginning and soon the entire city may be at stake.

Chocolate and Barbecue Sauce and Truffles Oh My

 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...

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

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...
