Aroslav is 71 years old today and is dragging the rest of us alter egos along with him. 71 is a fine prime number. So, I'll just say I'm entering my prime. What better way to celebrate than to release a new book. Almost today.
I'll start posting the next Dag Hamar cyber mystery on Wednesday 9/30. For Mayhem or Madness takes place between For Money or Mayhem and For Blood or Money. I know. Why couldn't I just write them in order like a good boy.
Um... maybe because I'm not a good boy?
This novel is a bit shorter than my others but is an important chapter in Dag's life. And this one really isn't a tear-jerker, in case you're worried about that.
While I'm announcing upcoming stories, I'll mention that aroslav's new SWARM Cycle story, Pussy Pirates, has been approved for posting in that universe by Thinking Horndog. It will begin here on November 3. I thought that would be a good way to recover from Election Day. Of course my $5/month patrons will start reading it next Sunday, October 4.
My $10/month patrons have begun reviewing chapters of my next anticipated SWARM story (not a sequel) and I expect they'll be getting regular updates to my rough draft for the next couple of months as I take a look at another neglected aspect of that universe: the planetary militia (non-Sponsors). I think there's a good story there and the email brainstorms (also recorded for my patrons) have been flying fast and furiously.
