I've been working hard on the site. My goal? To make it easier for you to find us in search results. One big change I want to celebrate is the integration of Bluesky into the blog. Now, whenever I post here, a link will automatically appear on my Bluesky account. This involved using Hookdeck and webhooks, along with Wix Automation. It required some tricky programming to ensure that key information passes smoothly from one step to the next, all while complying with Bluesky's security protocols.

Fingers crossed it works on the first run, though I have my doubts.

Merch Update

I also sent out the last of the merchandise. The case I’ll be taking to Toronto will be heavy. But by Sunday, when the event is over, it should be lighter.

The lead-up to this moment has been stressful. I’ve felt the weight of anticipation. Yet, I know I will gain something from this experience. I hope for sales, of course. However, even if I can extend my mailing list, that would be a business success in my eyes.

Join Us at the Event

If you can make it at any point over the weekend, please join us! You can find more details about the event here: Word on the Street.

The Power of Community

Events like this remind us of the power of community. They bring together people who share a passion for storytelling. You might meet fellow dreamers, writers, and readers. Imagine the conversations that could spark!

You might find inspiration in unexpected places. Perhaps a stranger’s story will resonate with you. Or maybe a new friend will share a book recommendation that changes your perspective.

The Journey Ahead

As we move forward, I’m excited about what lies ahead. The world of fantasy, horror, and sci-fi is vast and filled with possibilities. Each new story is a chance to explore uncharted territories.

At Space Whale Dreams, we aim to be a prolific source of captivating literary art. Our goal is to consistently publish new works that immerse you in rich storytelling. We want to reach a wide audience of readers who crave these experiences.
