This is exactly why I was railing against some of the earlier protests which featured politicians openly asking protestors to take out their phones and send texts to opt-in for fundraisers. Besides all the obvious bullshit, it put those protestors who didn't know better at serious risk.
Thankfully, I haven't seen too much of that at the protests I've been to recently, but this is a good reminder that we have to keep educating people to leave their phone at home.

This is a series of stories based on a famous real-life judge in China during the Song dynasty. It was written centuries ago, and one of the defining memories of my childhood is my dad giving me these very books to read. It has pictures but also Chinese and English writing. Rereading them and am amused by the fact that as a kid, I was reading about tortures, poisonings and how every story's "happy" ending ends with a decapitation of a bad guy. We Chinese kids have quite a morbid and grim diet for bedtime stories, looks like 😅
In that sense, I think we have something in common with the Germans 🤣

The image features a black background with white text. The text is arranged in two paragraphs, with the first paragraph discussing the actions of Christian nationalists, stating that they ignore the teachings of Jesus, equate his compassion with "socialist wokeness," and reinvent God to fit their image. The second paragraph concludes by stating that these individuals are not worshipping God but are instead worshipping themselves. The text is presented in a straightforward, unembellished manner, with no additional images or graphics.

I've been working on my first self published novel as part of a book series penned by ten different authors.
I usually work on my books, on and off, over several years. But this project has a tight deadline. So, very quickly, I changed aspects of one character as she was originally coming across too bitter. I switched to multi-person first person POV (from 3rd person limited) when about two-thirds was written (I didn't feel the connection between character and reader was strong enough). And I've already done about five edits on this thing.
Yesterday I completed edit number six, doing my usual thing of changing the font (this time to one no one would print a book in), and both deleted and added text. I know this story so well, I also caught some behavioural differences in a couple of the characters. They're now fixed.
I'm reading the last two chapters this morning (the ones that have seen the least edits) before I send this off to my designated beta readers.
My obsession with this has kicked it into shape sooner than I imagined. There are a couple of last minute characters who need further development in my next (and final) rewrites before it's off to the editor.
So, just as Halloween approaches, watch out for this year's instalment of the Haunted Hearts Series of MM Horror/Romance novels. The covers have all been done and they look fab.
BTW, the image in this graphic is not the cover. Cover reveals will come soon.
