Sorry for the long interregnum. The songs were written and in a couple of them actually created as songs, but I was too ill/out of it/busy to actually go upstairs and assemble the videos.
Now I’m only — ONLY — suffering from a massive auto-immune freakout and trying to coordinate a house move sometime in the next month (precise date depending on other things than our volition) so I can resume these.
I only have three songs, and there will be two next week.
Any of my past books — other than Dyce, I’m not that insane — you guys want me to make a sound track for. Because those two next week should finish out the sound track for NML. And I’m sorry I’m going to miss the year with Orphans (probably by six months) because of the very strange health things. HOPEFULLY it will be better from here on, yes?
Anyway, without further ado, these are the newest Sarah and the Clankers songs:
And in reverse order, back from here:
The week in Sarah And The Clankers!
AND NOW: It’s the second to last blog funding day!
I completely forgot to append it to the post this morning, because I was functioning that well. Anyway, here goes:
If you get something of value from this blog, and are aware of how much work goes on behind the scenes to keep it up and posting and wish to donate:
There is a Give Send Go fundraiser for this specific fundraiser set up. Here is a Paypal Me Link if you prefer that. (Yes, I know. Paypal, but for now, they’re behaving.) If you have a monthly donation setup to the permanent Give Send Go, that is still working and thank you! There are also two substacks you can subscribe to. One is on the side bar of the blog, the other is supposed to be a newsletter, as well as giving you chapters of the current work in progress if you become a paid subscriber. It takes cards. For snail mail: Sarah Hoyt 304 S Jones Blvd #6771 Las Vegas, NV 89107
And if you want to read the whole appeal, it’s here: Toss A Coin To Your Blogger, Oh Readers
And thank you to everyone who has donated, etc. Each and every one of you is appreciated and I’m more grateful than I can say.
Yes, the results were a little thin this year, (though not as thin as it looks, since a lot of you can’t donate to the official site, and two of you unearthed the OLD paypal to donate to. Eh. It still got here.) which I’m taking as an indication that I need to write more fiction. We’ll keep this blog going, but my assistant will take a couple of days a week, so I can get more fiction written. At least for now while I recover from being ill and energy is in short supply. But the blog will be here, and nothing is going to happen to it. And I enjoy (and worry over) every single one of you.
Is the clanker lady over-weight? [Crazy Grin]

I really liked the space operas back when I had money to buy lots of books… Darkship series, the Rhodes story and books, and the Christmas Cat really moved me…
Hoping to get back to that place soon…

My problem is currently.
I can’t read Kindle books on my *PC anymore unless they are already downloaded. Not as of the release of the new Kindle for PC. Can’t download books. Can’t download the new app.
Big bug if the processor is a Snapdragon. Which my Christmas present has.
All my currently purchased books have been downloaded, DRM removed, and stored in Calibre. But new purchases are problematic.
Haven’t figured out where to complain. Not that others haven’t already, I’m sure.
Also, agree that once it does work, I will whine about not being able to kill the DRM.
(*) Yes. I can still download and read new books on my Android phone app. I can still read new books purchased through the Amazon online library reading (or whatever they actually call that). It does not happen often, but we don’t always have reliable Wi-Fi or internet access (or I do not trust the source; same thing).

Just a heads-up – the Kindle version on my older Android phone stopped accepting downloads just a few weeks ago, and the phone is old enough (Galaxy J7 Prime) that I cannot install a newer Kindle version on it. Which is a bummer because that is my reading-in-bed phone. Calibre library for the future, I guess.

The problem is Calibre does not exist for Android. Do you know of a good (free) alternative? (Ads are irritating, but fine.)
I do read on my phone … Waiting at the doctors’ office. Standing in line at the pharmacy, or any checkout line.
I think I’ve mentioned recently I do not wait well. Should qualify that. If I don’t have something to do. That is usually reading.
