I literally cannot say how excited I am to be a part of this project. I cannot wait for this to come out.

Why is it I took so long to start my blog?  I don't know, but a better platform I won't find. Thanks for letting me be a part of this! It is fracking awesome!  And without further
ranting from me, here it is:

The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences novels are a multi-award winning steampunk series, which tells the story of the government agency committed to keeping citizens safe from the strange, the unusual, and the bizarre.

In a very successful Kickstarter in July, the Ministry Initiative was funded, allowing the creation of both a roleplaying game and a brand new anthology.

Ministry Protocol: Thrilling Tales from the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences is a collection of short stories that will take readers across the Empire and all over the world, revealing new facets of familiar characters and introducing new agents, allies, and enemies from the Ministry’s colourful history.

The authors of this globe-spanning anthology include Delilah S. Dawson, Leanna Renee Hieber, Alex White, Jared Axelrod, Tiffany Trent, Peter Woodworth, Jack Mangan, JR Blackwell, Dan Rabarts, Lauren Harris, Karina Cooper, and Glenn Freund from The League of S.T.E.A.M.

And one of the Ministry’s creators, Tee Morris, presents the origin story of the Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences itself.

Look for the ebook coming in August, with signed print editions to follow.

Feast your eyes on the cover art from the Ministry renaissance man, Alex White, and spread the word about the anthology by entering the giveaway.

First post

Really captivated by all the podats I have missed since I got my ipod in 2007.
It seems I have missed a lot. Though, I am doing my best to get caught up. I have a love for the spoken word. Meaning simply I like to hear tales spoken aloud. I've always enjoyed hearing readings.  Also, audio books were my first exposure to those recorded delights.
I had a friend post about whether or not a person could "not matter in this life."

I responded :
"Mathematically the effect can never be zero. Even a minor roll ha(s) an impact. With all things a persons life has, the minimal impact is literally helping a tree grow a little taller. There is no null value in this life. Don't let anything make you think you or anyone doesn't have an impact on this world. "In 900 plus years of life I have never met anyone not worth knowing." Doctor Who."

And yes I know that 10 - 10 = 0, but never can a human equal Zero.  We either have a positive impact or a negative one and that depends on how others receive you. Something you have a little contol over.

I know that some of us find ourselves doubting who we are or our own self worth.
Why question the fact that you're not making an impact; we all make an impact.  Why not question "How large of an impact you are having and is it enough for you?"
