Saturday Updates

This is the year we knock Debbie into a higher tax bracket.

Yesterday was the best day yet for World War 1990: Battle of the Three Seas. Just a great week for sales and KU reads. Three Seas hovered between 20 and 5 in it's category all week.

Debbie has World War 1990: Nederlandse. We have two maps and the book cover.  You people know the drill. We get the MS back, we read it again, then we get a hard copy together and read that. The next book won't be released till we see Three Seas sale really start to decline.

Speaking of the next book, we have the short story compilation together. We'll spend the weekend dwelling upon this, but there's really no need to ad another story. So it's also almost ready for Debbie. We should read it once, though. Remember, other than line edits, the stories go as is. Art is a product of time and place, damn you George Lucas.

The Great Nuclear War of 1975 is 40,000 words. We'll have the Battle of Prudhoe Bay (which is really the Battle of the Alaska Pipeline) done by June 1st. It'll need a ton of editing. We think we're spending June getting those 40,000 words ready and good to go. We really don't know what happens after they get the pipeline up and running.

We are devoting mental energy to The Final Storm. The great Neil Gamain said two things that we've always taken to heart. One, After  someone reads your thing they want another thing just like it. Two, the only thing you owe your fans is to take their money. Both are true. Thanks for buying Blooms, BTW.  Still, we've been building toward and hinting at the end of World War 1990 ever since Arctic Storm. Long time reader(s) know that our plan going forward is to publish one World War 1990 book per year, and one other book per year. As we're getting into events during the beginning of the war, we're tempted to do World War 1990: The Weser next. Boy do we ever have some good ideas.

Here's our latest at Inforos, about Joe Biden and Tank (thanks Ace) Abrams:

The Blue Checkmarks of the American media are an uncreative lot. They lack the basic curiosity once thought necessary to the art of journalism. As former Obama White House advisor said in 2016, ‘The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.’ The Blue Checkmarks are stenographers really, retelling narratives set by the nation’s two most important newspapers. The New York Times and The Washington Post. This week both papers ran glowing profiles of Stacey Abrams...
