I really need to get around to reading Jon Gabriel’s SINK THE RISING SUN. I should probably warn him: there are two book-related hobbies. There is buying books, and then there is reading books. Most of the people who do the second hobby also do the first one, only more enthusiastically.
Note that I say nothing bad about those people, and not just because I am one of them. After all, they plunk the money down, don’t they? Buying books is a lovely hobby, in that regard…

Sink the Rising Sun‘s coming out next week, and Jon Gabriel’s an old internet buddy of mine*. Plus, it’s a WWII submarine warfare book. What’s not to like?
*Who has not given me an ARC or anything, not that I would’ve taken one anyway. Sales are important. Especially when it’s a first book.

Jon Gabriel, an old buddy of mine from the Before Times, has written a book! SINK THE RISING SUN, a World War II submarine novel. No supernatural or fantastical stuff in it, but I pre-ordered it anyway.
Also: Jon’s a brave man. I personally quail at the thought of writing a historical war novel. There are just too many people out there with opinions on the smaller details, and they look upon new historical fiction writers as fresh meat…
