Greetings, !
I hope your week was as awesome as mine! In last week's Newsletter I asked everyone for some feedback on the content you want to see, and I think I got some great information---Hopefully I can deliver on that. I've added a couple great new segments for you this week so, let me know what you think! There will be some good additions coming to the Newsletter and my socials, so keep an eye out!
As always if you have any feedback, reach out. I love hearing from you!
This year is going to be a big one. I'm planning on writing 7 books this year! I have the first five chapters done for the first in series titled "The Glitch: The Godcode book 1. I'll be sharing some of that soon so keep an eye out!
I love getting set up in my little office and writing or working on content to send you, but when I'm writing, I need it to be calm and ZERO distractions. I have to log out of Facebook because that will distract the hell out of me. I have a TV in my office, but I cannot have it on when writing. My brain is way too ADHD for that. I will pay attention to everything else going on and won't get anything done. 😂

Fantasy
I promised you more Freebies and content this year, so let's get right to it!!
Shrouded in mystery, many of the Valkyries stories have been lost to time. Only scraps remain within the Viking sagas that tell of their existence.
So, could Lagertha be one of the famed Valkyries?
As she heads to the yearly celebration of Disablot, Lagertha will meet with King Ragnar for the first time since her husband's death. Concerned with how Ragnar will react to her, Lagertha finds herself caught up in something bigger than earthly relationships.
Over the ages, there have been many stories and untruths told about the mythical shieldmaiden, Lagertha.
This is not one of those stories.
As a fearsome shieldmaiden, Lagertha is first sighted by Ragnar on the battleground, where he is instantly captivated. Their complicated love story grows from there as Ragnar helps to free Lagertha from captivity.
This proves difficult, though, when a new drug hits the streets. Ocean Tears makes the users think they can breathe under water, and it certainly doesn't help any that the supplier is a woman who seems to dress like a mermaid. Oh, and she's giving the drug away for free to teenagers.
Whoever this supplier is, Clarissa is going to find her and lock her up or at the very least run her out of town.
When vices reign, no one wins, and just simply isn't acceptable to Clarissa.
It’s not every day you learn you’re the incarnation of magic.
When Crystal learns her birth mother sought witches to conceive her, the fifteen-year-old’s faith is shaken. God isn’t the one answering her prayers. She is.
After her aunt is threatened, Crystal attempts to master her power, but flying and conjuring fireballs attract dangerous attention. A witch hunter kidnaps her boyfriend, and shamans and witches hunt Crystal, desperate to use her to end their centuries-old war.
If Crystal can’t figure out what she’s capable of, she won’t just fail to protect those she loves and end the war. She might start the apocalypse.
Can the prince of thieves save the slave-woman he loves in this twisted take on Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves?
Enjoy this twisted fairy tale that kicks off my Once Upon a Darkened Night fairy tale series where I take the villain and make them the hero.

Heavy Metal
Metal Muse
There's been some awesome news in metal recently!! First of all, Muse released a metal song! Now, it's still Muse with some poppy, electronic influences, but damn does it get heavy in some parts. The video is pretty damn wild too! I've always enjoyed muse and now that they are exploring their metal side, I'm an even bigger fan.

Every Time I Die Break Up
This week it was confirmed that Every time I Die has officially split ways. The 5-piece post hardcore outfit has done some great things in the community and have been inspiration for many!
-I personally haven't been their biggest fan, but that's just personal preference-
Four out of the 5 members backed out of the band citing creative differences as the reason. They also filed a suit against the 5th member and driving force, Keith Buckly, stating that he is to cease and desist using the logo, music or and intellectual property of the band until an amicable agreement is reached.

Food
So, I have been a foodie for a long time, and I also worked in the restaurant industry for 16 years so, this was sort of a natural progression for me. My loving girlfriend has been urging me for the last few years to start incorporating food into what I do, and I've been dragging my feet on it. I've gotten some request recently to do just that and I'm finally picking the apron up and making it work. So let me introduce you to Glitch Kitchen!
Glitch Kitchen will feature unique recipes made by me and shared with you! I'm going to try to match the food with the reading I'm sending out and I figured since there has been A LOT of Paranormal Romance coming out of here lately, I will share some spicy food!
This is a Candied Jalapeno Brown Sugar Bacon Burger with Roasted Garlic Jalapeno Aioli! (It's a mouth full, both figuratively and literally.)
I have also put together recipe cards for the Candied Jalapenos and The Roasted Garlic Jalapeno Aioli with some more detailed directions and tips! You can find it all here! - Candied Jalapeno Bacon Burger — Glitch Media
*I am in no way a professional Chef or Food Blogger, but I do have a passion for food and will only share dishes I'm happy with*

Gaming
Valheim -
If you like Minecraft and other survival games, then you are probably going to love Valheim. This is not new news, Valheim has been a major competitor since its release and looks to have a bright future in the gaming world. The game itself looks amazing with stunning graphics and environments and building is actually easier than in Minecraft. However, it will be a monumental task to dethrone Minecraft and I'm excited to see what happens!

Gods Unchained -
This game has shaken my world up recently. When I was younger, I loved card games like Pokemon and Magic the Gathering. I loved everything about them, the cards for their collectability and art---The powers and abilities they gave---the lore behind it all---the communities built around them. There is just so much for me to love about them. Now as an adult, my buddy showed me this game, Gods Unchained.
It's an online card game built similarly to magic and pokemon. You collect cards, get free packs for completing matches and you build an in-game currency called Flux that can be used to upgrade your cards AND turn them into NFT's!
Now, you can sell your cards in the marketplace as is and make a profit without spending a cent, BUT if you Know what NFT's are (Too long to go into here), they are going to revolutionize the way we do things online and handle digital products. So, a digital first edition card you get in this game that's been Minted as an NFT could be just as valuable as a rare physical card.
If you start playing, let me know and I will set up a game for us to play!
-Find out more about Gods Unchained here! - Gods Unchained
*Note - You have to create a digital wallet for this game, then it has to be linked to your account because that's where your valuables like NFTs will be stored. It's an easy process though.
