Just the banner, the real link is below.
A short piece on the real nature of sin…and especially punishment. At least in my opinion. Annnd…because it is the season, one more.

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.

A Science Fiction Fable: We Were Promised the Future
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.
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.
Baby Steps
First mockup of the cover. It’s in the ballpark of what I’m going for, but likely not the final. As for the text itself, I’ve had less correcting/expanding to do than I’d thought. A subplot I believed needed resolution was already addressed in the rough draft. Sometimes my subconscious is smarter than I am.
Who am I kidding? It always is. On the final stretch now.
Addendum: I’ve finished the rewrite and turned the mss over to First Reader. We shall see.
Addendum the Second: She liked it… and that was not a given. Once I work through her notes, which should only take a few days, the book will be ready for production.
