Cult of Savage December: Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! A time to reflect on what we've accomplished while looking toward the future.

As the days countdown to close 2025 and welcome 2026, we reflect on all the little moments that added to the larger ones. To some of us, it will be hard to imagine little moments that added up to anything.

But I promise, the fact that you're still here, taking the time to read this, means you haven't given up. That there is a battle you might feel you are losing, but if you are here, you haven't lost yet. And that might be the biggest moment yet. 

Sometimes, looking back is scary because it forces us to stare into the abyss and we as know, the abyss can stare back. But, like looking into a mirror in a dark room and saying "Bloody Mary" three times, once we put aside supernatural notions of what might be happening, we see that the scary thing staring back is our reflection. What's all this mean? It means the holidays are approaching, and I am sure at least one of the 521 December holidays has already begun/passed. It means, that there's a reason the war you're fighting hasn't been lost.

So, thank you for holding on a little longer and finding the true meaning of why we're all here. To learn, to love, to live.

I think we all know I love to talk about my wife. One of the things she loves doing is making beautiful clothes. The skirt pictured here is her current pride and joy.

She is thinking of starting a small line of one-size-fits-most to take to conventions (We'd share a booth) and see how people take to them.

If you want to check out more of what she does, the picture links to her Hand Made With Love FB Page. If photography is your thing, you can check that out at her photography page.

My Candles Are Almost Here!

While I don't have a picture of my candles that do them any justice, I do have a progress picture of the wax melts at my candle makers! (I shall be talking more about her in a moment!)

I am very excited to say that this Sunday, Dec. 7th, while setting up for Krampusfest (Milk District in Orlando) Wick'ed Salem's Candles will be delivering my first run of candles and waxmelts!!! All of which will be available for those still looking for unique gifts and stocking stuffers.

The scent?

The scent will bring you back to those days we all love to reminisce on. The relationships of our younger years when we had no clue what we were doing but enjoyed every moment of it. All of which I bring to life with scents of bourbon, leather, bonfires, tobacco, vinyl, and hints of stormy nights.

The name?

Hopelessly Jaded Romance.

Inspired by The Fairlane Series and all the mistakes he repeats so we don't have to.

And once I have them in hand, they will be going up on my sites at both www.SavageCultGlowCo.com and www.TheAuthorNickSavage.com

Let me take a moment to introduce you to Wick'ed Salems Candle Co.

Run by Courtney, Sean, and Salem in their own words.

Our Spooky Yet Delightful Scented Candles

During the beginning of the pandemic, we were trying to sell our home. Sometimes we would have multiple showings a day. Every showing, I would have candles burning and I was getting tired of spending so much money at stores like Bath & Body Works for candles that didn't last long! I decided to learn how to make candles and save myself some money.

I started off with a $40.00 candle making kit and from there a hobby turned into a husband and wife business based out of Palm Coast, FL.

We make an affordable yet aromatic and long lasting candle in a large selection of scents. We put all our love into our candles so that you can love them too!

I know I haven't mention any of my books so far. Here it is. The Grey Fairy Anomaly official released on Nov. 21st.

There is one review on Goodreads.com you can check out by clicking the orange text in this sentence. The series might be over, but the world still has more to offer. After I write my three books in the Faith & Finn series, I will be returning the town of West Haven and seeing what else lurks within the Nation.

Anyone still looking for cool gifts, stocking stuffers, etc. My publisher is not only running a buy one get one half off holiday sale all month long, but they are also offering currated subscription boxes. Check out the sale at www.4horsemenpublications.com

The currated boxes are by genre and frequency. Check the details out HERE.

The cat pics are because I love my cats, and you should, too.

Before I leave, I want to say thank you to each of you for making this year what it was. I wouldn't be doing this without you. I look forward to next year and all that it offers.

Be safe this holiday season and enjoy time with those considered loved ones.

There is a possibility of no newsletter in January with two major holidays back to back. So, if there is no email from me, do not fret, I'll be back in February.

Happy holidays to all, and to all a good night!
