Upset some apple carts didn't it? I've heard people say they didn't like it but what I've not seen is much to refute it....
Turns the field upside down in some interesting ways. Not the book that was expected but then again I warned everyone ahead of time that it wouldn't be. Did it match the others part for part? Yes but the point was that was really a bunch of hogwash in so many ways. IRAN pretty much kills a lot of that. Lack of understanding of Models sent so much down the wrong path. Regardless, like it or hate it I've noted in some interesting places that it cannot be ignored. It's starting to soak in. People can shake their fists at the sun but after going through it they're going to have to close their eyes real hard not to see it.
I knew in writing that book that time was on my side. "Give it ten years. That's about what it's going to take." Might be twenty. Why? New people enter the field. That book exists. For those having decades of following a path that book came as a shock. I know as I've been told. For those not having so much to let go of it doesn't.
In any event it's out there. Frankly I'd have rather written it after the others but whatever.
I've been asked when the rest will be done. "Not soon." I changed jobs a few years ago and simply don't have as much time to devote to the stuff. Not terribly long from now I'll retire and then will have the time. So the others will be out but they'll be delayed. I pushed that thing out in spite of the job change. Instead I've concentrated on finishing the collection. Research is mentally taxing but buying crap - not so much. So I wrote another book instead. Well, 1 1/2 but it'll be two as soon as I get back to the second of that set. They're unrelated - wrote them for the wife. She wants them published. So I'll launch them this summer. Unlikely I'll get back to the series so maybe I'll write something else yet instead.
I also noted a few people who didn't want to let go of the $40. "Too much." If $40 is an investment instead of an expense I'd skip it.
In any event I figured I had a bit of time so stirred the pot a bit. I do have to get back to life though. I'd expect me to be transparent until Fall. Nothing wrong - just busy with life. If you have questions on the book I'll address them before I'm off but no more content posts for a bit.
Cheers.
