For any aspiring writers, I highly recommend the Writer Dojo. It’s a podcast by Super Book Writer/Seller Larry Correia and Steve Diamond. And it’s great.
It’s the only podcast I listen to. They cover everything from World Building, Character Growth and Development, Conventions, Pacing, Writing for Audio Books, How to Get Paid, and even How Not To Negotiate With Woke Terrorists Who Hate You For Not Having a Check List of Crap Progressive Concepts Included in Your Book.
We got a new betta to replace poor Thor that I killed by cleaning his tank a little too well….
(It sucks when your learning curve involves killing things accidentally)
I got a picture of him flared up and handsome as all get out. He’s a ‘King/Giant’ Betta, so he’s about 2.5x bigger and 5x more awesome than your regular Betta fish.
What a stud!
So, now we are looking for some local fish tanks to fight in. Gotta get this guy’s reputation built up before he goes pro. (I kid… I kid… he’ll live a VERY pampered life in a large tank and fed brine shrimp and blood worms.)
So – Book Stuff!
Well, fingers crossed, but so far all my books are rocking/maintaining a 4.6 star rating on Amazon. Which is pretty awesome. I aim to please.
The reviews for Taming Prehistoric are rolling in. And I’ve got to tell you, it’s always such a magnificent yet humbling experience to read them. (I still check Amazon daily to see if any new ones appear!)
And so far, you guys love it.
I suppose the cat is out of the bag now, I ended it on a cliff hanger.
I’ve done this twice now in a row, and I promise that the fourth will not end that way. The fourth is going to wrap a lot of things up in a satisfyingly tidy way, yet gently tease the continuation of the series. (Because I’ve got more ideas I want to explore.)
But the work continues.
Until next time,
Erik.
P.S. Ah yes, signed books. Check out the options below to use paypal. (I’m in the process of adding a page to the site for this.)
This is really, really cool. And a nice pick-me-up since I just murdered my Betta fish while cleaning his tank.
Sorry Thor. May you swim over the rainbow bridge to the big puddle of water in limitless glory… may you feast on bloodworms and fight other Betta’s in Fishy-Valhalla for all eternity…
I set out to write books about a man who by today’s standards is outdated.
He doesn’t womanize. He doesn’t drink to excess, or swear without purpose. He understands morality and the indifference laws often make in that nature. He doesn’t back down when confronted by difficulties or hardships, but rises to the challenges and callings of life(albeit grudgingly at times). He also won’t be insulted, shamed, or wronged. He fights hard and loves harder.
He is a man I wish I could be more like.
I pledge this to you, I will never write a book that I’m ashamed for my kids to read. Nor will I abandon putting Christian themes and morals within them. Ever. To God belongs all the glory!
Thank you all for making this series possible, and may we all enjoy this ride together for as long as it lasts.
I really hope you guys enjoy this one. I owe everything to my readers.

Axemen. Norsemen. Vikings.
Whoever they are, Jedidiah Huckleberry Smith doesn’t care.
But with the possibility of a pardon on the table, he knows that he’d better do everything he can to prove his worth. Which means leading a civilian expedition, this time along the coast of Prehistoria, towards a mysterious warrior tribe whom the apes fear.
He ain’t going alone though.
Along for the ride are some friends… and former enemies.
But first, they are going to make a little visit to the site of their greatest defeat for some payback.
Because Prehistoria will be tamed, one way or another.
