Sorcerer’s Waltz: An Urban Fantasy Action Adventure (Scions of Magic Book 6)
Page 19
My wife and I are about to finish watching Peaky Blinders on Netflix. Aside from the fact that Cillian Murphy has to be the handsomest man on the planet, the show is really well written and spectacularly acted. There are a few slow points, and the total style shift at the start of season five is kind of shifting without a clutch, but I totally recommend it if you’re into gangster films, underworld power politics, and such. Which, let’s be fair, if you like my books you probably are.
We have too many video game systems. I’ve been an Xbox guy for a long time, so we have an Xbox One. My kid scammed me into getting a Nintendo Switch to be able to play with a friend, and then double-scammed me for a gaming computer to play Minecraft with mods. (And allegedly to start a YouTube gaming channel. Still waiting on that one to materialize) Somewhere in the middle, my wife decided she had to play Death Stranding, because she’s obsessed with Mads Mikkelsen, so we have that, too.
Long story short (too late), the Bioshock collection was the PS Plus freebie this month, so I dove back in for a trip to Rapture. Bioshock 1 and 2 were as amazing as I remembered. Bioshock Infinite, I’m trying to ignore the huge story problems to enjoy the gameplay, but only with moderate success. Still, story-wise, it’s a good time to be alive with all the options we have!
Altered Carbon season two is the next thing on my list. I’ll be really interested to see how they manage the re-sleeving of Kovacs. Will the new actor imitate the old? How will a different body influence the character? Should be really wild.
Daily family game time has become surprisingly cutthroat. I blame the game Exploding Kittens, because it encourages you to gang up on other players. Turns out my kid has a vicious streak as a game player. Sniff. I’m so proud.
Until next time, Joys upon joys to you and yours – so may it be.

Author Notes - Martha Carr
March 20, 2020
Charley Case is the giant redheaded, bearded quiet rebel in our midst who can be very Zen when you least expect it. He’s going to go his own way and will gladly invite along anyone who has a similar yen to just be. If you need something large moved from here to there, a friend to listen and then give you the opposing view, or someone to cheer you on like it’s inevitable that you’ll succeed – ask the gentle giant. He also makes a mean kalimotxo and openly adores his wife, Kelli. He’s the newest member writing in the Terranavis Universe and the author of The Adventures of Finnegan Dragonbender and The Lone Valkyrie (which is a continuation of Mila’s story).
-Martha Carr
1. What turns you on?
Intelligence/ability to carry conversation (because I’m more likely to carry the plague than a conversation.)
2. What turns you off?
An inability to see fault in oneself. We all have shortcomings, but if you can’t admit that, then I don’t want to be your friend.
3. Who do you most admire? Why?
This is a hard question… I admire a lot of people, but who do I admire most? Probably either my wife, or Martha.
4. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
Mechanical Engineering. I have most of a degree in it, but writing became a thing before I could actually finish. I love the idea of figuring out how things work and making them better.
5. What profession would you not like to do?
Anything that puts me in a cubicle for eight hours a day. I can’t take cubicles; too much like a coffin.
6. If heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?
God glances around to make sure no one can overhear, then leans in. “Look, I’m not really supposed to do this, but...” He cracks the gate open and pulls a pack of Marlboros from his robe. Tamping out a cigarette on the pack, he pops one between his lips, he gives me a wink before walking a few feet away and lighting up, turns his back to me and the open gate.
7. What is your favorite movie?
The Princess Bride. Greatest movie ever made. I’ll fight you if you don’t agree.
8. Who is your favorite character and from what book by which author?
Sazed from Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson.
9. What is something most people do not know about you?
I am VERY dyslexic. I also have a degree in Photography.
10. What do you look forward to most in the new year?
Getting my new book series out, along with a few audio books.
11. What's your favorite non-LMBPN series you’ve done? What’s your favorite series inside LMBPN?
