🤯 An Odd Feeling

Publishing this book feels different than the rest. Maybe it’s because we’re approaching the end of the series, the culmination of years and years of hard work with my co-author JP Rindfleisch IX.

I’m extremely proud of what we’ve built—intricate characters, plot twists you won’t see coming (sorry in advance 😈), and a world I’d love to explore even more.

We’re doing everything we can to spread the word, but nothing is more powerful than your voice. If you’ve enjoyed the journey so far, please consider leaving a review and sharing the series. It truly makes a huge difference!

🎬 Latest Movie: Heretic

As promised, I watched Heretic with my wife and cousin last weekend. Overall, I thought the plot was unique with some awesome, very creepy scenes. I loved how it subtly hinted at the supernatural while still feeling grounded in reality.

And let’s talk about Hugh Grant—his performance was superb! Totally stole the show.

Final verdict? 8/10—highly recommended if you love horror/thrillers.

🏆 The Oscars

This year, I decided to give the Oscars a shot. As much as I love storytelling, Hollywood can be a bit much for me. 😆

I was happy to see Anora take home the big win. The movie was hilarious at times and totally gave me Quentin Tarantino vibes.

Also, huge congrats to Kieran Culkin! His win was well-deserved. To be honest, alongside Dune 2, A Real Pain was my favorite movie of 2024—highly recommend checking it out!

Stay weird and keep those pages turning.
