ANAGNORISIS goes live tomorrow!

You can still pre-order ANAGNORISIS today, though. Thus making sure that… the sale gets locked in, I suppose. It feels important, though. Maybe it’s a morale thing? Yeah, that makes sense. I just had the most frustrating afternoon, trying to get short story title headings working in Scrivener/Open Office. Curse you, .docx! We hates you! We hates you forever!

Announcing ANAGNORISIS (4 short stories, 32K words, September 1st).

It’s not ready, yet: I have four days to do more edits and last-minute changes, and I plan to use them. But this is the tentative cover for ANAGNORISIS. Artwork via my mom, because when you have an advantage, take it. You can sign up for my mailing list and be notified when the book’s available for pre-order, too.

The first draft of the ANAGNORISIS mini-anthology (four books, 32K) is done.

I wasn’t really expecting to write about four thousand words today, but apparently that was a thing that happened. The next step is to get it out to readers with their red pens, obviously. I already have one volunteer; I would not object to more. I just need it done by this time next week. The sooner I have it back, the sooner I can plug it into Kindle Unlimited.

Email me or comment below if you’re interested.

I will need some volunteers to read the blessed things in the next two weeks, so drop a line in comments if you’re interested. I’m trying to have this all approved by the time virtual Dragon Con comes around; they’re supposed to be doing a virtual dealer’s room, and what the heck, right?

The New York Times achieves Anagnorisis on #obamacare.

Don’t know that word? The invaluable RPG Trail of Cthulhu defines it in this case as “the moment that the main character pieces together the nature of the Mythos and goes to pieces:” basically, what happens is that your unlucky protagonist has an insight that allows him and her to understand the true nature of the universe. And the sudden understanding inevitably leads to madness.

So let us thus discuss the New York Times.

Freeing Workers From the Insurance Trap

The Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday that the Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by 2.5 million over the next decade. That is mostly a good thing, a liberating result of the law.
