This album is a collection of voice comedies which includes 5 New Voice Comedies that haven't been released on Newgrounds before. All the voice comedies that appear on the album have been remixed and remastered.

A Priest Among Pervs is a collection of Voice Comedies featuring an assortment of interesting characters like; Sebastian an eccentric and flamboyant podcaster and the owner of a rather "interesting" business, an old man with an raunchy past and unconventional business venture, a Weeaboo named Wes with a strong dislike for furries, and a salesman/announcer who appears in crude and sometimes lewd adverts.

Track Listing:

1. Coffee Enemas
2. Sebastian Seductive's Sensual Spa
3. Seductive Stories With Sebastian
4. Seductive Stories With Sebastian 2
5. Seductive Stories With Sebastian 3

11. A Guide To Caring For Your Emotional Support Whore
12. Absorb-Ass
13. Flicking The Bean Cafe
14. Mad Mackenzie's Mad Hat Emporium

As you can see from the track listing the new voice comedies are; A Weeaboo's Monologue 1-4, and Flicking The Bean Cafe.

I also released a Compilation Album of my music a couple days ago titled Abstract World

Featuring new re-recorded versions of Mortal Reflection, Elysian Plains, and Conscious Resolution. As well as a brand new track titled Faun Forest. It also contains Mortal Coil, Ethereal Realm, Memorial, and Scorpion Dance from Short Stories & Folktales EP. This Album comes bundled with a large selection of Artwork created by me.

But that's not all, I also released a Free/Name Your Price EP titled Discarded But Not Forgotten which is a collection of "B-Sides" and entries from the collaborations on Newgrounds that I either hosted or partook in.

This Extended Play features 9 short tracks. One of which hasn't been released on Newgrounds and that track is Memories Left Forgotten

Hey Everyone!

I have exciting news, I've self published my first novelette titled Writer's Lifeblood under the pen name J.G. Volkov

It is available on Amazon as the image above shows. It is available in both eBook and Paperback formats although currently there are no paperback copies available on the US Market so for those in the US wanting a paperback copy I suggest Amazon Canada since I saw one available there. Otherwise you could wait for them to be available in your market since it is a new release by a new author.

I'll link the respective markets here; US Market, UK Market, Canadian Market, Australian Market. It is available across all Amazon markets by the way I just included the English speaking ones since the book is written in English.

It is also available as a PDF on my Buy Me A Coffee Page Here. I've updated my Buy Me A Coffee page by the way, I have extras for sale which includes the PDF of my book along with my demo album. I've also enabled memberships for those wanting to support me on a monthly basis. Perks include free copies of both my book and my album. I have made two posts there as well and I'll be more active there in the future.

I'll paste the blurb here for those wondering what the book is about:

After being diagnosed with severe illness Jeffrey Schreiber an up-and-coming author must come to terms with his waning health as he races against the clock to publish his first novel in time. All the while juggling work, life, and relationships as he walks the fine line between coping and struggling. Trying his best to hide the severity of his condition from those he cares about, he learns to accept his mortality and embrace the gift that is life as time waits for no one, especially if it is borrowed.

The genre can be described as Literary Fiction(General Fiction)/Romance.

I hired a book cover designer on Fiverr who created the book cover that you see, it features a gorgeous goth woman (cause who doesn't like goth girls? I know I do) who symbolizes the supporting female character and love interest of the main character. The clock in the background symbolizing the importance of time especially borrowed time, the raven/crow acting as a harbinger of doom and is associated with death. And lastly the book she is reading is a reference to the fact the story is about a novelist.

For those seeking to hire creative professionals on Fiverr and who haven't signed up yet, you are welcome to use my referral code here which will net you 10% off your first order.

In other literary news I am working on a second fiction book.

Hey Newgrounders,

I've released a new voice comedy titled Fever Dreams Nightclub it's a cynical and sarcastic advert for a fictional nightclub that prides itself on being terrible and makes no effort to hide. It's loosely based on my former nightclub escapades from years ago.

Enjoy!

Hello Newgrounders,

I've uploaded a new track, it's a classical guitar piece with a rather melancholic sound. Titled The Last Cycle, It's a short composition.

Enjoy!

Greetings Newgrounders,

I thought that I would release a Live Demo EP titled Vivid Expressions which is available for download on my Bandcamp Here

I had been sitting on these recordings for some time now, when I figured that I should probably put some work out because my Bandcamp account was sitting there empty with no releases. They were recorded all in one take hence the term "Live", so minor errors and string squeaks are present.

The Mixing and Mastering process was quite the challenge. I found it to be both frustrating and fun, It's all a learning process after all.

I am currently working on a "Studio" EP/Album which I hope to release soon. I've already selected the tracks that will be present on this feature release.

In other news, I've also been writing a novelette which I'm in the process of redrafting. So expect a literary work of fiction from me in the future as well.

I'll leave you with the cover art that I created in Photoshop. I used my own photography.

The Newgrounds Vintage Sounds Collab has just been published. Thanks to those who participated in the collab, as well as to those on the NGAP Collab Center. And thanks to @AhWham for making the banner artwork for this collab as well.

I uploaded a New Track just then, it's titled Within These Castle Walls, it's a shorter classical guitar piece with a lush reverb.
