John Ed Heidi Show. Bonus. How we're excited to visit once again with author Chad Corey. He is from Minnesota, but he's gonna be in Sioux Falls this Saturday at the Barnes and Noble forty feet to Louise. He'll be there from two till four and we're gonna be talking about Shadow Regent today because that's the book that's coming out right now. He's got a couple of them.
But tell me a little bit about the book, Shadow Regent. Wow, the Shadow Region is a standalone fantasy book that's a great opportunity for people that you want to keep a trying. So it's about kind of step into it, get into it, basically taking this fantasy world setting that was created
for another series called the Wizard King Trilogy to another cosmic level. I guess he can say, we get to see the interaction with the gods and the cosmic things that are going on out there, with the scheming and the plotting and stuff that comes after the aftermath that some things that took place in the Wizard King trilogy. He got some little Cookendegger stuff. He had some Roland stuff. He had some spni, a little bit everything going on, plustled
action adventures. So kind of perfect mix, like I said, for a nice introductory book for this world setting. It's kind of more like a moderate flavor of fantasy for those that are like, don't really want to get two high fantasy, you don't really want to get any too low fantasy. It's just kind of a nice I said, introductory world standing type of thing, if that makes any sense. Absolutely. Now, in addition to this book, you've also got a graphic novel that's coming out. Tell us a little
bit about that. Yeah. Graphic novel is called Sons of Ashgard illmit in Elgard is a subtitle. It's going to be a stand alone story as well. This is about by Key Squirrels, kind of more like maybe Minnesota flavor, but it fits all over the Midwestern region too. The idea is that
this particular story, Eric Redfer is his name. He's an exiled from his former community, has to find a new home for himself, and he thinks he's found it, but ultimately he finds himself involved in a bunch of challenges and situations that he kind of finds himself hard pressed to get out of and through that process finds some new friends then maybe has to go find a new
life outside of this community. Once everything is it's seven done. It's kind of a fun, I guess animated type of look to the artwork and stuff. The aesthetic is very much like a traditional animated fee story is maybe geared toward more of an adult audience, but not like anything that like a PG. Thirteen thing, So it's safe for just about anyone to get into and enjoy. So Eric the redfur is a Viking squirrel. What inspired this little
character inspiration came apart from having my parents. They have a window into the backyard and they happened, for some reason they set a lot of squirrels, I guess, and I just happened to see this huge sward just squirrels that, if you're one day, had to be at least maybe thirteen twenty of them. I've never seen that many. It is a huge number moving around
and got me thinking about what would be like with squirrels. Actually, they've kind of, you know, live in these large groups and developed these societies and things like that. It was just kind of fun to add the end the Viking flavor to it into kind of the motif, especially of where I'm from in a Minnesota area, I kind of tie it in there. But no, it's very fun, like I said, something different, something people can enjoy. It has a cartoony aspect too, like I said, as
hard as the artwork goes. But it's very I think it punched with a good story and it has a nice kind of redemptive art to it because he's trying to he's kind of kicked up for some things that want to get into but he finds this redemption in the end and that kind of leads them on his course. Another type of story possibly in the future with this group of compadres. How many books do you have in total? I'm on your website.
It looks like you've got quite a few so far. We got the Wizard King Trilogy, which came out to finished I should say, in twenty twenty one, I think, and then twenty twenty two we had the box set for that, the Wizard King Trilogy, and then the new one coming out now in the Shadow Regent, and then we have the new one of the graphic novel which just on of ashcard, and then I signed a deal
recently with dark Horse Books, who's my publisher. They're the pros in print of dark Horse Comics, and they will be doing I think two books a year now for the next two or three years. I got a lot more on the pipeline that's going to a mixture of young adult stuff, short story collections, graphic novels, and other things. So a lot of fun stuff I can get into later on, but right now I'm kind of focused on
obviously the Shadow Regent and Sons of Ashgard. So when you're looking at that, you've got, hey, we've got this opportunity to do this number of books over this many years. Do you have ideas for all of those now? Or how in the world do you come up with the ideas to fulfill that? Those particular books for that deal have already been written. So those are done. We're actually using them now, getting seen some cover arts really
kind of cool. So those have been written. Those are done. I have a lot more written up that I've just not been picked up yet because obviously you don't want a fludge a publisher like all these books at once the best necessarily for this particular publisher. But yeah, I mean I got comic series, I got graphic novels, I got more stories and things to work on even now. So it's just trying to keep busy, trying to keep
myself focused on the next thing. So I try and get everything written ahead of time before I submit it to a publisher, because I don't like what has happened in the past with other authors and things where maybe they start this big series and then they don't end up finishing it, or they end up dying sometimes at the end of it not getting it done. I'd rather have
it completed and have it finished in that way. It not only helps me because I know what the story is, it's better to promote, it's better to make sure it's actually a good finished story. It helps with the publishing too, in the marketing. It's just it's a better process for everyone involved. It's a whole lot less stressful because I'm not having the right things as I'm trying to produce it and edit the previous story into the marketing for it.
It's just a lot more enjoyable, I think, for everybody, and I'm excited. The Barn to Noble and Sue falls this Saturday from two till four and You'll be signing books for people there too, right and you know if you already bought the books previously from the Wizard Can trilogy, I will sign those as well. Or anything else that I've had my name on it, I'll certainly sign that, not just Shadow Regents. So come on down like to meet you guys, interact and have some fun that way too.

Equity markets tried to rebound Wednesday, but couldn't. Solid earnings from tech majors like Google and Microsoft, and consumer favorites like
Chipotle Mexican Grill were overshadowed. By fears of growing bank contagent. The latest news from the First Republic scandal is the bank needs to raise more capital to avoid government takeover, and the thirty billion dollars deposit by the US largest banks may already be lost. With the FOMC slated to hike rates by another twenty five basis points next week, the odds of another bank failure are growing. Thursday could see another day of decline. The market is cheering the better than
expected earning season, but fear of a recession is also growing. Reports from companies like UPS and Packaging Corporation of America are contrary to the strength shown by other companies and points to widespread economic slowing.
