Alexander Saunders: Signal Boost: The King Of All That Is Magic with Page Turner Books
Teresa Garcia (or Teresa Amehana Garcia / Amehana Arashi) is a rural Northern California mountain woman. Art supplies are at premium in a house of artists. She has health, intermittent mobility, and nerve pain issues which she pushes through as well as possible, in order to complete her tasks. With a busy autistic son she does not always have enough time for her own projects, and her work projects often eclipse her own personal projects.
Teresa writes mainly fantasy. Her works include poetry, short stories, and novels. She also paints, narrates on ACX, illustrates, fiddles about with ASMR readings, Reiki Master, Priestess, and is open for commission. She writes challenges for the online browser based role play of Dragon Hearts (which don’t always get coded) and administrates for Dreaming Twilight in SL. She volunteers time as curator for on-line libraries overseeing live and pre-recorded programs. She also is one of the administrators for the Nisa/Dreaming Twilight role play group and helps develop the lore for their program. In addition she is the owner/operator of THG StarDragon Publishing and a co-owner of Dragon Hearts RPG.

Pre-Orders Open for "The Other Workers of Santa Claus" by Alexander Saunders
Santa has had many helpers over his long years, and many friends. Elves and reindeer are not the only denizens of the North Pole. Join Santa, Mrs. Claus, and some of their newest workers, Roger, Becky, and Macy, along with his old friends. Old enemies, old loves, and more clash to create a prickly situation that only Santa's Other Workers and some unexpected volunteers hold the keys to help diffuse. This time it isn't Santa or Rudolph saving Christmas, but three very special young people and some unlikely friends. Join Alexander Saunders by the fireside with a cup of hot cocoa and hear his tale.
This tale is perfect to read aloud with the family during the holidays. The author writes his stories intending for them to be read that way, in the hopes of inspiring the reader. Magic, adventure, wonder, and hope are themes he enjoys working with.

Obituary: Crim Mip, A Dreamweaver of the Dreaming Twilight.
I wanted to give the SL Newser time to publish Crim's official Obituary but with how things are going I need to upload it before I am further carried away with preparations for his private and his public memorial service. The SL Newser, run by our friend Bixyl Shuftan, has at least already published preliminary reports.
---
Crim Mip, known in the real world as Karl Meyer, was a person whose ripples extended to many ponds. From the Memphis Furmeet, the MLP community (Trotsdale, Nisa, Ibex Empire, etc), the spiritual and Pagan community (Arashiryuu Yashiro, Practicing Magic for a time, and others), the SL boating and aeronautics communities… and others I probably don’t know of as he was very active.
I first met him in Nisa while exploring, seeking my home in the Second Life’s MLP community. There I met many others in a heavily mythologically influenced sim. The Nisean sim grouping, with Crim Mip as one of the several co-owners, grew to a landmass of Nisa, Thessalia, Exmoor, The Ibex Empire (aka Ibexia), Los Qwhilla, Qwhildrasil, and many other locations of the rp world. For a time this landmass resided north of – and joined to – Trotsdale. Later, Trotsdale eventually moved to join Neighberry’s landmass, before Nisa finally became Dreaming Twilight and moved instead to reside in a plot in Ontario due to funding.
Crim is/was the second of the strongest pillars of the Dreaming Twilight. Now another of the trees of the sacred grove has lost its leaves, reminding us of how tightly Life and Death are interwoven.
Crim leaves behind a loving girlfriend, Karla Voilpa (KariaKae Karu), the remaining members of the Dreaming Twilight and Arashiryuu Yashiro groups, his real life friends and relatives… and countless members of the many communities he was part of. He was a chosen brother of myself and Oscelot Halaan. He joins his former partner Lacy Musketeer.
He will be missed. He is loved. He is gone… Yet he now blows in the wind, creeps in the vines, falls from the sky in raindrops, dances in the tides of the sea, and warms us in our hearths.
Our thoughts are with all his loved ones. The Dreaming Twilight will continue. The memories will be maintained.
Please contact Amehana Arashi (Amehana Ishtari), Oscelot Halaan, and KariaKae Karu for more info.
You can also join the Dreaming Twilight [ secondlife:///app/group/c20ee681-8a58-6d0b-4f84-03c7aeece461/about ] and Arashiryuu Yashiro [ secondlife:///app/group/b6fef2dc-b13f-6da5-3561-7b3bc92efd07/about ] groups to be notified of any upcoming planned events and sporadic gatherings.
There will be an in-world memorial at the Dreaming Twilight plot

Humble Bundle submission made and Spotify news
Knock on wood and keep your fingers crossed for Alexander Saunders. I just finished sending off a query about getting Treasure of the Ancient Wizards into one of Humble Bundle's upcoming bundles.
Did you know some of our audiobooks are on Spotify? For now it is some of Teresa Garcia and Elizabeth Buckley's books. Once others are available you'll be able to look there in addition to Amazon, Gumroad, and the publishing website's direct sales. I can also be asked to run up physical cd copies.
So far things are still on track to have his book "The Other Workers of Santa Claus" ready for the 2025 holiday season. I'll post an update when preorders will be able to open.
