The Road. By Cormac McCarthy.
It’s a few years after some event has killed every animal and every plant on the earth except for a few remaining humans, and you and your young son are walking southwards to escape the continuous winter, slowly starving and avoiding the dangerous dregs of humanity.

'In his experience, things generally got worse, and on the rare occasion when things actually seemed to get better, it was only as a dramatic prelude to a cataclysmic worsening.'

It couldn't get much worse than Adams's Mostly Harmless, I thought. But it didn't get much better, either. So I quit at page 42.

With work on "The Nemesis Legacy" winding down, my focus has begun to shift back toward other projects, such as an omnibus edition, containing the first third of The Nod/Wells Timelines, which will arrive later this year, and the universe's compendium, scheduled for 2027.

I've finished: City of Miracles by Robert Jackson Bennett
In this final installment of the Divine Cities trilogy, we follow Sigrud, the muscle of the team, in what at first seems like an action hero revenge fantasy. Yet turns out to be so deep and meaningful, with so much wisdom woven between the great action scenes.
When I read City of Stairs it felt a little clunky, but by the end of this wonderful trilogy Robert Jackson Bennett has become a master of his craft.

What do you mean OR? 🤔
I can broil in existential dread and plot a fantasy series at the same time. 😂 Luckily I don't make mistakes, at least not any I'm willing to admit too 😜

Apparently some people go to bed and just...sleep???
They don't plot a 7-book epic fantasy series or softly broil in existential dread or replay every mistake they ever made???
And then they wake up [checks notes] REFRESHED? | just. It sounds a bit fake.](/proxy/post_attachment/835646/464df6e947.jpg "Post by C.G. Drews

Like to hear a sample of my voice? There is one at the head of every chapter at
I'd love to hear some feedback.

Firefighter Love: Curvy Girl Alpha Male Romance (Curvy Temptations) is a younger man / older woman age gap romance I narrated as Eden Cavell for Kelsie Calloway.
When a hot young firefighter moves back to the small town where he grew up, he finally gets a chance to ask out his childhood crush: his best friend's big sister!
The male lead is super sweet and it's a big-hearted, wholesome story (with a red hot finale).
"Firefighter Love: Curvy Girl Alpha Male Romance (Curvy Temptations)" is available as an audiobook on Audible, Amazon & Apple Books. It's also available in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon.
(If you've ever wondered what I sound like as the voice of a hunky young firefighter, here's where you find out!)
