Welcome to the sci-fi fantasy electronic and alternative opera... I'm a secular Atheist/Agnostic that leans toward Buddhism and Taoism, but I do eat meat and fish. Chicken, pork and seafood mostly, but every once in a while I eat beef. I don't play guitar and I've never owned a guitar in my life, but they certainly sound good in the hands of a skilled player. Nobody has black skin, and nobody has white skin and no two people have *exactly* the same skin colour and that's a scientific fact: *everyone* has an entirely unique skin colour.

Happy New Year!

If you landed on this page because you came here willingly, or as the result of an internet search, welcome!


My previous post (the one that I unpublished a few moments ago) is now being replaced with this one, something of a more cheerful nature. I'd much rather you have a good time here and maybe learn something, rather than to show up and find someone griping about difficult situations or people. We all experience that at one time or another, and the best thing to do is not to become one of them, and to stay away from them or that kind of attitude.


So welcome to you and I most certainly hope that your New Year's eve and this day today finds you in good spirits for the year ahead, and I really mean that. Its far better to give time and energy to the things you enjoy in life, and the things that get you there, than it is to spend your time and effort on things that take you away from them, and away from the kind of people with whom you'd much rather share your time.


There's a lot in store for the year ahead at Shhhh! Digital Media, especially in the worlds of the two flagship storylines that I craft here, their being the Butterfly Dragon and Tales of the Sanctum/A Lady's Prerogative.


Other characters that have come from these or other storylines will also be returning in upcoming series that have yet to be published and which are currently in development. All of these existing and coming storylines will be relevant to our day and age and the times in which we're living, meeting head on, or in some cases, fleeing the situations that are shaping our reality these days.


Expect a much more visceral experience in the stories to come this year, the first of which should find its way to being published within the next two weeks. We'll be seeing many new characters and situations, while returning to some of the characters who've vanished in light of the events in their storylines. It will both be new and familiar characters, meeting a very changed world, not unlike the one in which we currently live.


I hope that you'll be back to check it out, and in the meantime if you're interested in what we have here, you can check the navigation menu at the top of this page to find links to the main storylines, or just to have a look around, though keeping in mind that I'm making every effort to make accessible the existing and future storylines available through audio experiences, leaving you hands free to listen while you work or play. 


The library of stories in that regard is going to grow substantially this year, making them perfect to mix in playlists with your favourite ASMR artists, and other YouTube content creators you listen to when you work, play or when you're taking a nap. I hope that my stories will be there too.


Happy New Year to you and thank you for checking out Shhhh! Digital Media.

🎄🧑‍🎄 Happy Holidays from Shhhh! Digital Media! 🧑‍🎄🎄

I'd like to take a moment to wish you all happy holidays and a very happy New Year, whatever you may celebrate this time of year and to explain what's coming in the near future for Shhhh! Digital Media.


Despite the recent changes here at Shhhh! Digital Media with regard to the ongoing retcon of the previous storylines that have become part of the lineup of content, most will remain as a valid part of the original timeline, with few actually being affected by the changes to the overall foundation of those stories.


Heylyn Yates will be returning in the Two Butterflies as Helayne Ying for instance, her background origins and story having changed significantly to eventually arrive at the woman that she is today. She'll still be both the lead designer and CEO of West Meet East International, which employs the same and additional characters who will arrive over the course of this year. Alicia Westin and Monique Defleur too will be present and actively involved in new adventures and storylines, and continuing Alicia's journey as a mother, without tripping over or copying the similarly themed Fantastic Four movie, considering that both women appear remarkably similar and yet are very different in terms of personality and outlook.


Much the same, Bradley Alexander Stanton will also be returning in this altered timeline, in stories reflecting the current world dynamics and politics, where his role as part of a larger and more involved intelligence community will see him both at his home in Pickering, in the same cover job of his employment as an Electrical Engineer, while he will also show up in various places throughout the world during a new investigation that will arise as a result of the retcon storyline.


Tricia and Halmand will also show up again from time to time, along with Detective Ed Farnham and Somboon, though the We Who Stand On Guard story lines will focus on a new threat, centered around Stanton's investigation.


The Sanctum Seclorum will be returning as well, though it will be very different from what it had been in the pre-retcon timeline. Most of the same characters will be a part of this changed Sanctum, as much so as will Mila, Shaela and Nelony, whose origin story has changed significantly if you've been keeping up by reading the Era of the Spellbound.


Canada will still be the pseudo center of this Shhhh! Digital Media universe, though many of the storylines will take place throughout the globe, and possibly other locations as well.


As well, a few pet projects that I've been developing will reach their release window later this year, expanding the content here and sending a love letter to the various stories that inspired me as a writer and content creator.


This evening, I missed my scheduled window for the movie Violent Night (a comedy holiday movie on Netflix), but I'll be playing the movie tomorrow (the 25th) or later during the week.


Also, as a measure to deal with the account impersonation attacks I've been experiencing recently (where an internet user logs into one of my online accounts, pretending to be associated with or even implying ownership of Shhhh! Digital Media), I've implemented a text tool on the navigation bar of this site (on the right hand side) that will indicate what software I'm currently using, and this will include either work software or my gaming applications. This way, if someone has logged into one of my accounts, it will immediately be clear that they're an imposter if their activity doesn't line up with the text indicating what software I'm currently using. If I'm not working or using the computer, it will also be indicated.


With that said, once again, I wish you all very happy holiday season and much joy in the coming year.

Birthday!

Celebrated my birthday on Saturday, though it was a small party. I have to say that I'm certainly grateful to have arrived at the wonderful age of 58. 

I'm planning a more formal night of dinner and drinks in the near future to seal the deal, and of course there's always SAPCHoP as well ;-)

I hope that your weekend was well. I'll see you next week when I continue work on We Who Stand On Guard, Butterfly Dragon Reimagined and Era of the Spellbound.

Have a good one!

Gaming On Thanksgiving...

If you haven't noticed already, I managed to finish the latest story from my Grand Tapestry Of Moments series: Paskus Maskwa: Rising Bear, which begins the process of bridging between the events of Unfinished Bee's Wax, and what will eventually show up in Era of the Spellbound and Heroes of our Own: Reimagined.


I'll be spending most of my day, gaming and possibly watching some movies or shows during the Canadian Thanksgiving Day, which my cat and I are celebrating. The cat's already unconscious, having eaten the equivalent of a small chicken by himself. I'm still going strong, though I've already stashed most of the leftovers. Lets just call it a Thanksgiving Day brunch...


So, I just finished a session of Euro Truck Simulator 2 (in from Dover, GB to Brussels, Belgium), and then American Truck Simulator (Los Angeles, Nevada to Los Angeles, California) just to share the goodness with those content YouTube producers whose efforts are often a saving grace in my life. 

Thank you to you, and I'm certain that you know who you are. I'll also be stopping off in Asia and Southeast Asia as well, along with a few other places in the known galaxy during my travels.

I'm going to try to stick to mostly peaceful games, though I'll probably jump onto PUBG: Battlegrounds as WrongOrWrite (rather than my ShhhhDigital account). Long live Esports!


To those of you celebrating today or tomorrow in Canada, have a Happy Thanksgiving Day and to those of you who've made a difference out there, thank you most humbly.
