somehow, the final chapter of episode 4 in HIAP quite literally has -3 comments. been laughing about it all morning.
          
          not sure how that happened. anyway. new chapter up! lets reduce literal --er, mathematical-- negativity in my comment section please.

RAPTURE IMMINENT THE END IS HERE!!
          
          okay now that we have your attention: time for some fun announcements. first of all, we're delighted to announce that our dear friend @insane_over_books has been shortlisted for the Wattys with her heart wrenching story 'Against All Wheels'. If you have a couple seconds, consider checking it out and leaving a vote (BEFORE THE 28th!) on one of the chapters. It's a beautiful story about overcoming feelings of failure and adapting to life with disability, while also featuring one of the greatest rivals-to-friends-to-lovers romance archs you'll ever read. Check it out:

          On another note, the Mile 15 movie has an official rough cut! What does that mean? It means the film has been all edited together and is just awaiting some colour-grading, insert shots and additional sound work. We're optimistic that everything will be done and ready to submit to festivals by the end of the year!!
          
          Finally, there's a new chapter of Heaven is a Prison out this week. Read it or you'll get left behind in the rapture (KIDDING! JUST KIDDING!)

@the-red-jester The Rapture was like 3 days ago.  Looks like we both missed it :).

Question for everyone: how do we feel about audiobooks? Had a conversation with a fellow wattpad resident earlier about producing our own stories for auditory format. But we'd only do it if folks were interested in listening. Are YOU?
          
          Also, Heaven is a Prison has been updated --missed last week as this poor fool was sick and entirely out of commission, sorry. Go catch up on reading if you haven't already!
          
          Roasted broccoli: yes or no?

@SkyiloveHockey probably just youtube? we could have them behind a paywall on kofi or patreon or something, but i don't actually believe in money

@the-red-jester Oooo, I'd just have to know where I could listen

hey e'ryone. your favourite fool is back. AND SO IS HEAVEN IS A PRISON!!!! everything was on hold due to political situations in Cuba as well as film production for Mile 15. but we've scheduled the next chapter for later today (Canada time). stay tuned!
          
          Also, Mile 15 has officially wrapped shooting! it will likely be a year or so before it is completed, and we're hoping to take it to festivals for the 2026-2027 season. a MONSTROUSLY LARGE thank you to everyone who has read the book and/or donated to the making of the film (you can still donate btw and get your name in the credits tehe). if you wanna see HOW the film is being made, do check out the Starless Sky Studios production page.
          
          anyhow. we're back to regular reading and updating for the time being. thanks everyone for your patience :)

@the-red-jester The project was hell.  I'm glad it's over.  I hate translating police body cam footage.  I'm going to deny those projects in the future.  Can't wait for your film premier!

@seoulsister_75 busy time of the year it seems! congratulations on the project!

seoulsister_75

@the-red-jester Yay!  I'll make sure to look at it.  I just finished a huge work project.  So, I'm finally back on Wattpad.  So glad to hear that the Mile 15 filming has wrapped!

The Mile 15 movie is officially rolling cameras now, oh my gosh! if you're on instagram PLEASE check out Starless Sky Studios for behind the scenes-y stuff. Jester had the chance to be on set the past couple days and it has been SO cool. INDIE AUTHORS GETTING FILMS OUT OF THEIR BOOKS?? this is awesome.
          
          Heres the instagram link: https://www.instagram.com/p/DLB-mikOvEh/?igsh=MTNwbnZ5ZjRvdm9p
          
          If anybody has any questions about Mile 15, please ask away. Or if you wanna donate to the crowdfunding campaign ;) that is also something you can do.
          
          Also, we will be back with the Heaven is a Prison updates likely in two weeks. We had no electricity or running water in Cuba most of the time (thanks, USA foreign policy!) and now we're busy helping on the film.

@the-red-jester which are you surprised by? the film or the cuban energy crisis pffft--

seoulsister_75

You are such an interesting person!  You go to all over the place!  Wow, Cuba!  I'd love to hear more about that sometime.  I think you still have my email if you ever want to share anything about your trip.  What a fascinating life you have!

the-red-jester

@seoulsister_75 from what you've mentioned, it sounds like you've been around the block a few times too! Kindred spirits we are

news update. the next couple HIAP chapters are scheduled for Friday this week and next week, but we'll be taking a break from updating for most of June. this jester is off to Cuba for some diplomatic work, and the current energy situation there is unreliable. we'll try to read your lovely stories when we have internet tho!
          
          but if you're really desperate for my book updates, you can always call the White House and tell them to stop holding Cuba under siege. that would solve a few issues.
