Alright everyone.
It's time for probably the final update of the year; I have the illustrations for the final two works I will release this year- right now "Hints from the Hornograph" is still in review, already uploaded to Amazon, and after that come "Historic Ghosts and Ghost Hunters" and "Investigations Into the Superphysical"- but that is just the tip of the iceberg, I am happy to announce!
After having already revised my expected yearly works upward twice, I continued well beyond that already expanded project and began working on works for 2024. Six are already done, a seventh half edited, and several others already awaiting editing having been formatted. All in all it should be pretty easy to get at least twenty works out in 2024- while likely editing ahead for the subsequent year since I am a workaholic. Several of these works will be particularly important; such as "Observations on the Use of Bathing" which is a mid 18th century medical work of historical import for its references to such usages in antiquity.
While I didn't get around to it this year, I am also really going to try and create several more full length compiled works next year, and hopefully get to re-editing and vastly expanding some of my own authored texts.
Onward!

General Update Time!

God-Man: The Word Made Flesh: Now Available!
This is a very interesting Theosophical work; at times rather confusing, with a lot of content which resembles a religious tract more than a coherent book. Nonetheless, its content is fairly straight-forward; it deals with the topic of sacred sexuality and biblical allegory, overlapped with biochemistry, utilizing the theory of "mineral salts" and their role in the human body. Abstaining from alcohol and sex is a common subtopic- although the work does not make it clear whether the latter should also take place within the confines of marriage. It quotes both the Christian Bible and Blavatsky, and also intertwines with elements of Hinduism such as the kundalini.

An Epitome of the Homeopathic Healing Art: Now Available!
Benjamin Hills exhaustive work on homeopathy is effectively meant to be a guide to the actual usage of the medicines involved with the practice- a list of different materials of note (herbal and mineral), and various conditions and their treatments. This system departs somewhat from older medical traditions which were more drastic, while retaining a focus on using many substances known to be dangerous to human health, such as ipecac and arsenic. It speaks briefly on the preparation of medicinal compounds and pills as well.
Some of the treatments proposed are also innocuous- a departure from older medicine, while retaining some of the same basic premises of Galenism.

Curiosities of Olden Times: Now Available!
Sabine Baring-Gould was one of the more notable compilers of folklore and history in his century. This particular edition is one of the greater ones; the lore comes from many cultures and time periods, and was chosen specifically because it was curious or odd. So we have tales here of saints which were insane paired with cryptography, and folklore regarding women resides in the same work as a collection of stories of animals being criminally prosecuted. Much of the content is humorous, all of it is interesting.
This edition has been illustrated by Raven Feather Illustrations.
