Just So You Know

After some changes with the hosting software plus some other impositions of reality, I made the decision to end my separate mailing list. Not, I hasten to add, my web site, though it’s obvious I’ve been neglecting it lately. I will try to do better.

After finally finishing The Seventh Law of Power, I did get back to some short fiction work and sold a new story in the Pan Gao series to Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I’ll be sure to drop a link here when it’s published, though that may not be until next year.

And finally, for anyone who cares about such things, I’ve posted a YouTube video on the story of the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu and how laughter was what really got her out of that cave.

Really Short Stories

As some of you may or may not know, in addition to getting the final volume of the Laws of Power to press, I’ve been attending a local writer’s group specializing in flash fiction. Never being content to leave well enough alone, I’ve been experimenting with using those stories as scripts for short YouTube videos. Some probably work better than others, but it’s all been fun. I’ll put a few links below in case you want to check them out:

The first one can’t be embedded here, so you’ll have to go to YT to watch it. The other two, no problem.

July 15, 2025–We Are Here

Today the book goes live on Azon. As promised, here are the links to the digital version. If your link isn’t here or you want the pb, a quick search should point you right. Also, please ignore the embarrassing missing word in the description. I did fix it, but it’ll take a little while for the changes to propagate.

UK: The Seventh Law of Power

AU: The Seventh Law of Power

CA: The Seventh Law of Power

Somebody Moved the Goalposts

All by way of saying that my original estimate of the time required to finish production and get The Seventh Law of Power ready was wildly off. Barring any last minute complications, both paperback and Kindle version of the book will go live on July 15th. I’ll put links up when I have them.

Hey, I was surprised too.

Probably should mention that the Kindle version is already available on pre-order. Here’s the link.
