Print edition of "A Witch's Prayerbook" by JoAnne Spiese
The print edition of the prayerbook by JoAnne Spiese is now available on the Createspace store. In three to five days it should also be available on Amazon. When I have all the links compiled after they are live I will both update again as well as upload the trailer for the book.
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.

Ink Drops and Paint Drips: A Collection of Haiku and Thoughts
The latest ebook released by THG StarDragon Publishing is "Ink Drops and Paint Drips: A Collection of Haiku and Thoughts" by Members of the ASA/Project Catfort and Trotsdale Libraries.
This booklet is the result of a joint project undertaken in the Second Life sim of Computer, at the amphitheater on the Astral Coalition parcel. Some of the members of two Second Life libraries, the ASA/Project Catfort Library and the Trotsdale Public Library, met to undertake haiku writing workshops. Amehana Ishtari / Arashi (author Teresa Garcia) read selections from “Seeds from a Birch Tree: Writing Haiku and the Spiritual Journey” by former Zen monk and English teacher Clark Strand. The participants then discussed the readings and practiced writing haiku (and some near-haiku) together to create this booklet. Some of the poems are more frivolous than others, a few not suitable for publication in a General rated publication have been removed from the main text but will be available inworld in the ASA library since it is located within an M rated sim. Some of the more interesting text discussion is also provided at the end of each session chapter. Timestamps are left intact to record when a particular poem was put into local chat.

Haiku Workshop session 4 of 9
Over the course of nine sessions I and others from Second Life gathered to contemplate writing haiku, using "Seeds from a Birch Tree" as our study and inspiration text.

Ever want to watch someone work on illustration?
Each illustrator has their own process and style. Some work with several styles. I don't have any videos of Victoria (Salaiek) working on her artwork. However I can show an example of my process when I'm working with ink and watercolor. The image being worked on will go into both a print book and into a video version of the audiobook for "Book of Seals: Pearls of Sea and Stone."
Please take note that this is for a Mara temple that far, far, far predates how they have evolved to be seen in Kirsty's timeframe.
I have other videos up on my Youtube channel as well.

The wheels keep turning
Several projects are nearing the point of enough completion that I can start saying to be watching more closely for them.
I have finished the proof listening phase for Illya Leonov's (AKA Morgan Freepony to some) narration of the Selkies' Skins series prequel "Book of Seals: Pearls of Sea and Stone) audiobook format. This will be available to listen to freely on Soundcloud and Youtube, on both his account and my own account. Right now I am working on artwork for illustration of the Youtube releases.
When this is done I will be getting back to the layout for a couple anthologies that I have donated space for to a couple of library projects. The haiku anthology I will also likely record me reading and place on Youtube. On my Youtube channel you'll also be finding some recorded short stories and the recordings of some haiku workshops.
