It's taken a long time, and several edits, but my first book, Last Man Standing, is officially up on the Amazon store for purchase (for $8.99 Canadian) or for free if you have a subscription to Kindle Unlimited! It feels weird to actually be at this point but to actually have a book published has been a bucket list item for me for a long time and I'm glad it's finally ready to go. At the moment the book is digital only but maybe down the road I'll have it available for physical release. Here's the link for the Canadaian store page but the book is available wherever you're at: Last Man Standing eBook : McConnell, Thomas: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store So, as a way to commemorate the release, I'm going to upload pictures of the cast over the next little while as a way to do a bit of promotion so that at least everyone here will get a visual image of the cast of characters and maybe give a bit of a teaser to get some others interested in maybe purchasing the book. I hope that everyone likes

It's been a long time since the high point of OCTs (Original Character Tournament).

Why am I bringing this up? Because someone on Youtube posted a retrospective of Law of Talos, one of the most well-known OCTs in the community, even now, and the video just brought back a lot of memories for me. OCT Lore: Law of Talos, the complete story (youtube.com) The Law of Talos, as an example, was considered one of the best tournaments due to the talent that the tournament featured

Hey, all. I've been sitting on this for a good while now and a few people will know that this has been in the works for a long time, but I feel I'm ready to officially announce it. This has been my pandemic project that I have been focusing all of my downtime on over the last couple years and, after another good while of editing, having a few others do a bit of proofreading and going over some options, I think I'm at the point where I can post a reveal. :) I am about ready to self-publish a novel. I have been working on this book for literal years, fine-tuning and editing it until I felt I was at the point where I could be comfortable with what I had and felt it was worth publishing. Plus, my worries about how readers would like it was a thing as well considering I've never done anything like this before. The book? I am resurrecting an old, abandoned comic that I had attempted called "Last Man Standing", though with an all-original cast and a different setting. The premise is the
