I have a surprise to share: Orbiting Our Quiet Distance is now available as an audiobook on Spotify. There has been no long countdown leading up to this one. I wanted the release to arrive as a story you could discover and begin listening to, with its own characters, its own atmosphere, and a complete journey waiting for you. Published through Carson Kelly Publishing, Orbiting Our Quiet Distance is a standalone science-fiction story about ambition, love, practical care, and the things people leave unsaid while they are busy building a future. At its heart are Tavren Osk and Elyth Vaure. Tavren is a mechanic who knows how to make discarded machinery useful again. Elyth is a navigator who wants to see what lies beyond the rust-colored sky of their salvage world. Together, they build Morrowglass: a small handmade ship assembled from what other people have left behind. It has two seats. The future those seats might carry is harder to put into words. A mysterious signal from forbidden Secto...

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LANTERNS SEASON 1 FINALE ARE AHEAD. Eight episodes later, LANTERNS Season 1 has officially come to an end  and what a way to close out this first chapter. I really enjoyed tonight’s finale. After spending the entire season following Hal Jordan, John Stewart, and the mystery slowly unfolding around them, Episode 8 finally brings a number of those threads together while also delivering one enormous revelation. And yes, we're getting into the big spoiler now. Noah Is a Manhunter The reveal that Noah is actually a Manhunter was massive. I had a feeling something was off and had suspected that the story might be heading toward some kind of reveal involving him, but seeing it actually confirmed still landed incredibly well. The Manhunters are such an important and fascinating piece of Green Lantern mythology, so seeing the series bring that element into the story immediately opens up even more possibilities for where this corner of the DC Universe could g...

The nightmare has a new home. Today, October 1, 2026, I’m excited to officially open the doors to the NIGHTMARES EDGE Store . After announcing the store in September, today marks the beginning of something new for NIGHTMARES EDGE: a dedicated online destination built around the world, stories, and identity of the series. The store features a growing collection of products inspired by NIGHTMARES EDGE, along with digital releases, including ebook editions of stories from the series. And this is only the beginning. A New Home for NIGHTMARES EDGE NIGHTMARES EDGE has continued to grow since I first began building this universe, and I’ve wanted to create more ways for people to experience and support the series beyond simply reading the newest release. The NIGHTMARES EDGE Store gives me another place to do exactly that. Over time, I plan to continue experimenting with the store, introducing new products, expanding what's available, and finding new ways to celebrate different corners of t...

A personal note on survival, purpose, and building something that reminds people to stay. I created STILL HERE SUPPLY because I needed the reminder myself. That is the honest beginning of this brand. Not a trend. Not a quick merch idea. Not something built because it looked good on a product page. This started because there have been moments in my life where I needed to remember that I mattered too. Some people fight loud battles. Some people fight quiet ones. Some people look fine from the outside while carrying something heavy inside them every single day. STILL HERE SUPPLY was created for those people. It was created for the person who made it through the night and does not know how to explain how hard that was. It was created for the person who is tired but still trying. It was created for the person who needs one more reminder that their life has value. The phrase Still here. Still rising. became the heart of it because it does not pretend everything is perfect. It simply says: ...

Still here. Still rising. The first chapter begins. Today, STILL HERE SUPPLY officially begins. This launch has taken longer than originally planned, but in a way, that feels right. This brand was never meant to be rushed. It was never meant to be pushed out just to meet a date on a calendar. STILL HERE SUPPLY was built from something much deeper than that. It was built from survival. It was built from the heavy days. The quiet nights. The moments where simply staying alive is the victory. STILL HERE SUPPLY is a mental health and suicide awareness impact brand created by me, Carson Kelly, beginning with a limited-edition launch collection available now through the Still Here Supply Store. At the heart of the brand is one message: You matter. Your life matters. Being still here matters. The first collection is designed as a reminder. A reminder someone can wear. A reminder someone can see. A reminder that can exist quietly on a shirt, a hat, a hoodie, or a card and still carry weight. ...

And personally? I'm incredibly excited about all of it.

REVIEW CODE PROVIDED BY CD PROJEKT RED  Review Images and Videos Captured on PlayStation 5 Console in Performance mode. Review access for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered was provided by CD PROJEKT RED. All screenshots and gameplay footage featured as part of my coverage were captured by me on PlayStation 5 while playing in Performance Mode. There are some games you play for a few weeks, finish, put down, and eventually leave behind. Then some games somehow become a journey spanning years. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has been the latter for me. Before getting into this review, I want to extend a massive thank-you to CD PROJEKT RED for providing me with early access to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered and giving me the opportunity to experience and review this new version ahead of release. It genuinely means a lot. And, strangely enough, receiving access to this remaster feels like another chapter in a Witcher journey that I began years ago and still haven't completely finish...
