Vicious Whispers with Mark Tullius Mark Tullius

A lot has gone down since my last episode.
I've added quite a few Try Not to Die contracts and have two brand new ideas about to bloom. The series is growing like crazy and now I have to do my best to develop everything without getting overwhelmed.
New book merch includes stickers, buttons, and bookmarks with more coming soon.
I did go through a 4 day depressive episode that got me motivated to finally go to the Amen Clinics for more brain rehab. The tests are all done, now just waiting on results and plan of action.
Includes the short horror story "Reunion" off of Twisted Reunion and narrated by Tee Quillen.

A lot of cool stuff happened over the last month.In addition to getting 4 full weeks of M-F 6am jiu jitsu classes, I had the pleasure of training with my son.Three new TNTD books have had contracts signed and we're digging into the writing this weekend.The cover for TNTD: On Slashtag is revealed and the eBook will go on Netgalley and to early reviewers very soon.TBI or CTE is free on Amazon through Feb 18 - get at https://geni.us/TBIorCTESoon all of my books will be going wide.

It's been a month since I recorded an episode. I do a quick recap and go into jiu jitsu and the latest release, Dethfest Confessions.
A hand injury has been the source of a ton of pain this month but I've decided the pain is worth it. The pros of training far outweigh the negatives so I am now committed to training Mon-Fri at 6am, my new favorite time of the day.
I also registered for a jiu jitsu comp coming up in a few weeks. Should be fun to test myself alongside over a dozen teammates.
The Try Not to Die rash guards turned out great and it is such a cool feeling to have my friends rocking it on mats around the country.
The Dethfest Confessions anthology paperback is beautiful and a book I'll always cherish, not just for the stories and expansion of Dethfest, but for the relationships it built with the authors. Next week the kindle copy is on sale for $0.99 (US/UK) On Amazon: https://geni.us/DevilsPlaylist

I skipped the last two weeks recording the podcast and wasn't so sure if I was going to return to it. I've put in over 4 years of consistently putting out episodes but decided I should only do it if it's something I enjoy. This year, I'll try to find the best schedule.
I go over results from IBJJF No Gi Worlds comp in Vegas.
The new Try Not to Die rash guard is out.
We're planning trips for Our Jiu Jitsu Journey coffee table book which includes: Florida, Pennsylvania, D.C. North Carolina, Rhode Island, Nevada, and all over California. There may also be more states added, especially if I can combine with book events.
This past weekend I tried out kambo, a type of frog poison. It sucked.
I spent the week finalizing Dethfest Confessions which releases Christmas Eve.

This week I've split my time between jiu jitsu and writing.
On the plane ride home I cranked out 5-hours of writing and over the week I finished my work on TNTD: In a Dark Fairy Tale. There still needs to be a few more passes between Evan, myself, and the editor, but I've now moved on to the next project.
Dethfest Confessions is being released Christmas Eve and we are scrambling to get it finished in time. As soon as I complete that I'll finish off the Best of Dethfest album. You can preorder the anthology here: https://geni.us/DevilsPlaylist
With jiu jitsu I managed to get in 5 training sessions this week and feel pretty good going into next week's competition in Vegas.
(8:00) I narrate two more scenes from Try Not to Die: At Dethfest

I was very very grateful to be able to get in 4 jiujitsu training sessions while on vacation in D.C. I went to Compound MMA with my family and Beta Academy D.C. with my wife. We made a lot of new friends, learned a lot, and I got crushed by several people.
In addition to training, we had fun visiting the zoo. We also did a 3-hour bus tour, but I've never been interested in that sort of thing.
Try Not to Die: On Slashtag is off for a just about final edit and I'm halfway through the death scenes for TNTD: In a Dark Fairy Tale.  I'm also very excited to announce the Dethfest Confessions: The Devil's Playlist is now available for preorder and releasing Dec. 24. https://geni.us/DevilsPlaylist
