Lazlo Zalezac: Blog

For those of you who haven't seen the previous post with the link to a map of the world in which Jade Force takes place, I am reposting the link here.

Hope that helps.

It was pointed out to me by joecct that I made a major error in the Reset Manifesto. It is not a simple majority of votes in the electoral college that is required, but a majority of the whole votes which means that it does take 270 votes to win the election.

The Twelfth Amendment - The person having the greatest number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.

Unfortunately, that does change things in the story line. Color me embarrassed. I guess I just earned an F in Civics.

Although to tell the truth, I would have loved to see a presidential vote come down to a decision in the House. One vote per state. Who gets to cast that vote? Could you imagine the carnage? That possibility is probably more entertaining than what I actually wrote.

Well, you knew it had to happen at some point in time. I allow readers to read my stories for free. I like telling stories. I post them on SOL so others can read them.

Since, I'm not making money, you can imagine how upset it makes me when someone steals my work and sells it for a profit. Some piece of scum who is using the name, Hooriya Ahmed, is selling stories on Amazon.com which are stolen from SOL.

I'm not the only author who has had their work stolen by this piece of bottom dwelling filth. What some nice person is doing is going to his site and telling people that he's stolen the stories and giving full credit to the authors.

The ending of World War: Campaign for Eastland does not complete the Jade Force saga. There is still the continent of Besland to force to a surrender in World War: Campaign for Besland. Unfortunately, that story is not yet finished so there will be a slight break in uploading.I have three chapters to finish in the last story of Jade Force.

My Muse is easily distracted.

I have 40 chapters written of Dealing with the Devil. It is nearly done, I just have to sit down and write the last few chapters. Unfortunately, I sit down and another story demands my attention.

I have 14 chapters written for Boundaries. There's a long way to go on this story.

I wrote 40 chapters of Destroyers and then decided that it should be book II of a larger story. I've finished 9 chapters of the new book. Both of these stories is requiring a massive amount of research. My research notes are extensive.

Then there is the story my Muse is demanding that I work on. It is titled, The Reset Manifesto. I'm about to finish Chapter 25 on it. My Muse is telling me that there are quite a few chapters to finish on it yet.

What does this mean? It will be a little while before I resume posting.

I uploaded a chapter of World War: Campaign for Eastland today. For some reason, what showed up is not the same as what I uploaded. It seems that paragraphs got copied and moved around. I'll try uploading the chapter again and hopefully that will fix the issue.
