Infernal Tramps!
Esmerelda, a lonely elf maid seeks to rule her own destiny in spite of a king, a wily gnome wizard, some gnolls, a dragon and worst of all, her own devilish sister or forfeit life's game. She hides in a dreary waste called the Black Moor partly due to her own shyness and partly because of the king who hunts all practitioners of magic. He has blamed the use of magic for a drought that plagues his kingdom. Esmerelda has been taught some magic by her adopted mother making her a novice and a target of the king.
Amid all this, she naturally longs for love and dreams of a childhood crush who will come and defeat the king and whisk her away to his castle. In spite of her shyness, she finally, makes the decision to take matters into her own hands and seek out her own destiny.
An obstacle, a ghost from her past long thought to be dead, has arisen from its grave to haunt her and crush what remains of her self-confidence. A clan of vicious gnolls complicates her task and have brought a dwarf-sized bundle of trouble who knows the ghost.
A pushy gnome and a scaly lizard arrive to offer her hope, but at a high price. To mitigate the cost, she commits to a brazen but risky endeavor that could prove to be fatal.
Make Peace With Life Shortcast #007 – Bigfoot Is the Man
In this week's Make Peace With Life Shortcast, we take a fun and slightly metaphysical look at one of the most famous mysteries of all time—Bigfoot. For decades, stories of giant footprints, blurry photographs, and mysterious encounters have kept people searching for proof that Sasquatch is out there roaming the forests. But what if the real value of Bigfoot isn't whether we ever find him? What if the mystery itself is the point? Bigfoot has become more than just a cryptid; he's become a symbol of wonder, curiosity, and the possibility that there are still things in this world we don't fully understand.
The episode explores humanity's fascination with proving everything. In a world where nearly every question can be answered with a quick internet search, Bigfoot stands as one of the last great mysteries. From a metaphysical perspective, that mystery serves an important purpose. It reminds us to remain open-minded, to keep exploring, and to embrace the unknown. Whether Bigfoot exists physically or not, he represents something powerful—the idea that life still contains surprises, unanswered questions, and a little bit of magic waiting to be discovered.
So is Bigfoot real? We may never know. But perhaps that's exactly why he continues to capture our imagination generation after generation. Sometimes the greatest mysteries aren't meant to be solved; they're meant to inspire us to wonder. And honestly, if a giant hairy creature can keep people dreaming, exploring, and smiling for over fifty years, then maybe Bigfoot really is the man. Be sure to listen to Make Peace With Life Shortcast #007 and visit MakePeaceWithLife.com for more podcasts, blog articles, community discussions, books, and merchandise—including shirts that are, according to highly reliable Bigfoot sources, officially Sasquatch approved.
Marvin lives in a dome in 2075, fifty years after the collapse. The air is toxic. The water is poisonous. The Y chromosome has disappeared humans are cloned in vats now, carefully designed to survive a world that kills everything natural.
But Marvin just wants to impress a girl.
He has a plan: he's going to buy a plant-based penis, impress Zenna, and live happily ever after.
There's just one problem. The plant-based penis doesn't work.
Looking for parts to fix it leads him on a journey through the Forbidden Territories, where he Meets broken people, view the world outside his done, and discovers what is still destroying what's left of the planet.
Blackfall Horizon is a military science-fiction novella set in the aftermath of collapse, where faith has been converted into infrastructure and human connection is treated as a controllable resource.
Eiden is a Lantern Warden, trained to enter unstable sanctums where ideology, technology, and emotion intersect. His survival depends on resonance—an empathic system that binds paired operatives together, synchronizing thought, movement, and combat. His partner, Aurelia, is a Weaver whose precision and emotional discipline anchor their bond in the field. When an operation inside the vast Sanctum-Port fails, the structure itself turns hostile. Systems fracture, devotion becomes violent, and the resonance Eiden relies on begins to unravel. Cut off from support and forced to navigate the ruins alone, he must confront the cost of control, the weight of loss, and what remains when connection is broken but not erased. Blending tactical science fiction with psychological depth, Blackfall Horizon explores survival beyond catastrophe, grief as a persistent force, and the fragile line between discipline and empathy in a world designed to suppress both. It is the opening entry in a new science-fiction series focused on aftermath, endurance, and the quiet spaces beyond the fall.
What if the meaning of life isn’t something you chase down like a runaway shopping cart… but something you slowly learn to make peace with?
From May 29 through June 2, 2026, you can download Making Peace With LifeFREE on Kindle, and step into a journey that’s equal parts honest, thoughtful, a little metaphysical, and just enough humor to keep you from taking everything too seriously. In this book, Dr. Rob Alex explores the full spectrum of life—the highs, the lows, and all the wonderfully confusing middle parts in between. It’s not about finding a finish line (because spoiler alert: there really isn’t one), but about understanding how every moment—good, bad, and “what just happened?”—fits into something bigger. You’ll dive into ideas about energy, connection, purpose, and why your life is both incredibly small in the grand scheme… and somehow still massively important at the same time. It’s like getting cosmic perspective with a side of “you’ve got this.”
And just when you thought the excitement stopped there… it doesn’t.
The MakePeaceWithLife.com website officially launches on June 1, 2026, along with the very first Make Peace With Life Podcast. So while you’re downloading the book and starting your journey, we’re rolling out a full experience to go along with it. Think of it as the universe saying, “Alright… let’s do this together.” So grab your free copy, take a breath, and get ready—because this is more than a book launch… it’s the beginning of something bigger.
