Interview with Baptiste Pinson Wu
On youtube and episode link
With his second book three kingdoms Heroes of Chaos book launched this week, @sunfin3k and @dongzhou3kingdoms interview (at the time, was not our editor) about his first book Yellow Sky Revolt, the main character Liao Hua, the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao and the three kingdoms generally. A friendly chat, we decided to let this run the full length. This interview is going to relax our no spoiler about the era rule so avoid if you wish to avoid hearing about what happens beyond the Yellow Turbans.
Baptiste Pinson Wu various media can be found here including his website, his youtube channel Back in Fiction and twitter while his books can be found on likes of Amazon and Good Reads.
Steve on Tumblr and Jude on tumblr have both reviewed the first book while the historian Rafe De Crespigny calls it a tremendous achievement. If looking for non-spoilery reviews, we suggest looking at ToriTalks: she is someone who's coming to Yellow Sky Revolt unfamiliar with the era, that will give you a good idea how accessible it is for you 
This is the end of our first season, The Rise of the Yellow Sky, with season 2 going to be following on the chaos at the Han court, chapters 3 and 4 of the novel and another deep dive with new and existing guests. One of the new guests has a cat, another is a member of the undead. Will be a delay till season two but we hope to see you again soon.

dear wayhaven fans
i started a fanfiction on ao3 post book 2 while we’re recovering from book 2 and waiting for book 3
It's two weeks after the peaceful resolution of the maa-alused situation and Nina Trujillo is just starting to begin to feel at home with the vampire team of Unit Bravo. That is, until bodies start falling out of the skies with their blood drained. Things like this just don't happen in Wayhaven. But when Nina's traumatic past comes to haunt her, the darkness that has followed her since birth will test her until she breaks. How long until the townspeople realise something is wrong?

Something I’m touching up on, in my book, but I felt it’s something I should also address on here, is establishing boundaries. Setting boundaries ensures healthy relationships, (any kind of relationship) as you are essentially teaching people how they are able to treat you, and what you are prepared to tolerate. Boundaries can be hard to decipher, when we doubt ourselves, lack self esteem, or find ourselves in a situation we don’t understand. People have said to me in the past, ‘you’re supposed to be spiritual’, when they’ve asked for favours or things for free I’ve not been prepared to give, when as a matter of fact setting healthy boundaries allows me to feel relaxed, and keep on top of my emotional needs. Here is my three rules when it comes to setting boundaries. 1- I set boundaries for my own well being, not to control or manipulate others. 2- I remember my thoughts and feelings are valid, and I can consider other people, but I don’t have to do what they/he/she is asking of me. 3- If someone crosses a line, wether it be a friend who’s stolen from me, or a fuckboy who’s lied to me repeatedly, I NEVER give someone the same access to me twice, and I don’t try to potentially ‘water dead flowers’, I simply wish people well (always forgive) and I move on. Finally, if someone doesn’t like the healthy boundaries you’ve established, that’s their issue, not yours. ❤️ #boundaries #me #establishingboundaries #toritalks #selfesteem #selfworth #latepostagain #may #movingon #help #advice #bestversionofyou #wegotthis #earthangels #aligned #healer #mybook #iam 🤍🌟🤍 (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yClJrAfsl/?igshid=la0myy517751

Value of Friendship
So it has been a while since I have written anything (SORRY BUT I AM BACK!!!) and a lot has happened. But one thing that I have learned about while on my mini hiatus was the value of friendship. 
Now I would like to think that I have always been the perfect friend....I mean wouldn’t we all? BUT, I haven’t been. I have burned bridges, talked about you, been talked about, spilled tea and tested loyalty...and I was the only one who lost in the end. I found myself trying to be everybody’s friend and pleasing everyone, even when they didn’t mean me any good. I still wanted to make everyone happy. Even if that meant, losing myself, losing trust and ultimately ruining relationships.
I think that everyone goes through a point when they are trying to find themselves where they push people away, gain people who aren’t needed and just are in a whirlwind of friendship mess. To me, this is something that is necessary. This is growth. I was loyal to people who weren’t loyal to me, talked about for being too nice, thrown by the wayside when I said no. It was all due to the fact that I didn’t know what I valued in a friend because I didn’t know what I valued in me.
Now at 33, I realize that I don’t need a huge circle of friends. I don’t need to make everyone smile. I don’t need to please everyone but I do need to value my time and peace. A friendship is a two way street. If one is always giving and the other is always taking....RUN!! This can turn into something very toxic. Now there will be times where one needs more than the other, I get it. It’s called life. But when the scales start to tip and you begin to feel drained....RUN! This is not good for you at all. TRUST ME, I would not tell you about anything that I haven’t been through myself. 
The best thing that I have learned and continue to practice is to check in with your friends from time to time. Make sure that you are being a good friend and that you are receiving what you are giving. It’s always good to just have mini evaluations, its all about growth and self love!! Love yourself so that you can be the best version of you!!
Be Blessed & Love Yourself,
ToriMichelle

Literally get off your damn high horse and stop thinking the world revolves solely around you.
Stop wondering why people leave you when you're nothing but a toxic leech.

This bitchass motherfucker on my story has been harassing me all month on Snapchat. Because June was Pride month and I’m like- one of the only open, happy gays around my town I was posting one fact or word of encouragement a day regarding the LGBT+ community. It was fun!! A bunch of people swiped up and thanked me and said they enjoyed them. But this bitch. They kept swiping up to pick fights. I don’t like blocking people. It feels very final and I don’t like burning bridges??? I know it’s dumb but anyways. I tried to gently educate them when they asked me questions they knew would upset me. I did get angry a few times. I’m only human. But I tried so so so hard to be at least mostly civil. But they kept picking fights. And in between these fights kept swiping up and trying to be nice to me??? So I was like???? Stop???? I firmly but nicely told them, hey, if you don’t like my story, stop watching it. And they continued and continued to pick fights. AND IT WAS WILD BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY. No. Scratch that. This bitch is LGBT but not a part of any kind of loving community. They were shitting on nonbinaries and aces and pans and it was awful. But anyways, I made a post the other day discussing slurs and what they mean and why they were considered slurs etc. and they posted a picture on their story??? Being vague and passive aggressive at me using all the slurs?????????? And I was like????? I literally said some of these are being reclaimed and more power to you if you use them????? Shut up???? But I didn’t swipe up. I just kept my mouth shut. But today was the last day of Pride month. And they posted something along the lines of “wow so glad pride month is over so I don’t have to see any more posts about it” AND I WAS ALLLLL DONE WITH THEIR BULLSHIT. So I posted on my own story. And I was like- hey i know my pairs were a lot this month but all you had to do was swipe or tap through it! Not that hard! And basically said I was gonna keep posting through July. And NOW IM PANICKING because them and their friend both screenshot it?????? And like???? I’m out mostly but not to my parents???? So my dumb brain is like?????? What if??????? And they posted on their story basically calling me a “cringey tumblr bitch” and being a real dick. So I panicked. And I called My Space Ace ( @aceupinthisplace -god bless) and she talked me down and convinced me to block them. So they’re blocked. Them and their friend. But I’m still so stressed and idk what they’re gonna do about the screenshot?????? If anyone has any suggestions or ducking whatever??????? Comment???? PM???? Inbox me???? I’m just really stressed and idk how to handle this situation.

Been working on my book today, and there something I wanted to share with you guys tonight, ‘From our biggest rejection, comes our biggest sense of direction.’ - Joel Osteen. Rejection is a like a sat nav, it re-routes you, and can take you on a different path. It can also bring to light the things you don’t want, and helps you learn what you do want. It’s easy to fall into the trap of allowing others to validate you, and when something doesn’t go accordingly, for you to doubt yourself and your worth. This is just a reminder that rejection is not you, it does not define you. You define yourself by how you treat others and the value you add to people’s lives. Flip the perspective, have gratitude when faced with rejection, and see it as a chance to start again, but this time with a little more wisdom. 💫💛 #rejection #perspective #compass #direction #journey #mentor #copingskills #copingmechanisms #instaquotes #joelosteen #mindfullness #toritalks (at Wolverhampton) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAyLwaHAi00/?igshid=1i9zlz5pjg6xw

Love...Don’t waste your time.
So look, time is precious and if you aren’t ready to invest and get rewarded for your efforts then DO NOT FALL IN LOVE. DO NOT DATE. DO NOT WASTE ANYONE'S TIME. So many people like the idea of “casual dating” but there are very few people, in my opinion, who can handle this task successfully. I think that this is a very sensitive subject but guess who is going to tackle it. Little ol’ me!
Dating without a purpose wastes everyone’s time. A lot of people aren’t honest with themselves so they place themselves in a category and end up catching feelings for someone who isn’t even on the same path, possibly in a whole different book. So when I say, DON’T WASTE MY TIME. DON’T! When I jumped back into the dating world, I knew what I wanted and what I would tolerate. I knew that list was very very short. I tried to meet people in person but that was hard for me to do because I was always running around handling the Single Parent Life (SPL) so I took a leap and jumped online to do some internet dating. LAWD that was a whole experience.
So here I am, ready to love again, ready to commit, ready to just give my all. I didn’t think that it would be easy nor did I think that it would come within days, months, or even years but I knew that when God sent the right man along that LOVE was a given. But I had to go through the ones who talked that game, who talked about “oh baby I can see a future with you.’ “Oh you are everything that I dreamed of and I can’t see my life without you.” Let me explain something about me. After my divorce, I found my voice. I am not afraid to say what I want and what I need. So when I met someone, in some of those first conversations, I am asking about wanting more kids, marriage, and long term goals. Now, I am not asking these questions because I want them to happen immediately but I am asking because these are things that I needed to know in order to move forward. I know that some of the answers that I received I wasn’t okay with so I decided to move on. No hard feelings and I was not wasting anybody’s time because after all TIME IS PRECIOUS.
All in all, if you value yourself and your time. Value theirs as well. They didn’t ask to have their emotions played with. So if someone is going to invest in you then be willing to invest in them. Be open to their questions, reap what you sow. So if you are sowing false hopes,  false dreams and false future plans then the fake love and deceit is what you will pluck up. This IS not good for anyone. No one wins in this situation. So just be honest. Guard your feelings and time as if your life depended on it because it does. You cannot just pour out and not be replenished. So please.....if you are going to LOVE, then don’t waste your time.
Be Blessed & Love Yourself,
ToriMichelle
