Wow! I started writing A True History back in 2016, but never got a full chapter done. I knew what I wanted it to do, but I couldn't figure out how to get it there. Fast forward to winter of 2019, when I had two epic length novels under my belt and I decided to just bull through things.
As of today, on SOL, Book One is over 366,000 downloads, Book Two is almost 354,000 downloads, and the first 23 chapters of Book Three are nearly 280,000 downloads. That hits the magic ONE MILLION DOWNLOADS mark.
Chapter 24 is now loaded up for tomorrow morning, ya mooch! (That's aimed at one specific person - he knows who he is!) For the rest of you, thank you for reading. I'm plugging away on Book 4, only on Chapter 4 of it, but I finally got through a bit of a logjam. Those four days I spent in the hospital halfway fried me, so it's taken me until this long to get things unstuck. I'm still planning on starting to post Book 4 on here around Thanksgiving.
Oh, and for all those people who think Cal is a shit now, or could be doing things a little differently, this little excerpt is from my ORIGINAL draft:
I'm pretty much the absolute ruler of Earth at this point. The whole planet. And protector of the whole solar system, too. But that's an advantage to being me.
Didn't exactly plan it that way from the beginning. Shit happens.
Relatively speaking, I'm rather benevolent, too. At least in my own opinion. And that's the only opinion that matters to me, really. I have several people I care about, of course. I'm not completely antisocial or a psychopath.
As for why I'm actually writing this whole autobiography, it's pretty simple. I'm probably not going to live forever. And I want to make sure that my side of things is out there. I realize that this makes me sound like a bit of a dick, but … again, absolute ruler of the planet Earth, so it sort of goes with the territory.
