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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to chat. I appreciate it a
bunch. Well, thank you for rad me. I appreciate it too.

you by the Sioux Falls Fund Page and Sunny ninety three point three. It
was on this day, April twenty seventh, nineteen fifty one, and early
morning blaze destroyed more than half of the Argus Leader building. A short circuit
in a wire started a fire that would engulf the entire building in smoke.
Before the fire department was called at six thirty am. It would be two
hours before the fire was subdued by six different streams of water pouring into the
building. Thanks to the quick response of the firefighters and Sioux Falls, nobody
was injured. Amazingly, the Argus Leader did not miss a single day of
publication. With help from the Mitchell Daily Republic, the paper was printed every
day and with help from the local Sioux Falls VFW office space was opened up
to continue with business as usual. The Salvation Army provided free coffee and breakfast
for firefighters who had been working hard all morning long on this day in nineteen
fifty one. This has been stay in Sue Fall's history. Brought to you

Here's your market meat minute for Thursday, April twenty seventh, brought to you
by Genesis Gooldira dot com. 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. The News of the Week will
come out tomorrow. The PC Price Index is due at eight thirty am and
is a high probability market moving event. You can get the insidetrack at market
