Week 17 of 2024
Greetings all
I’m at FantaSci!!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve been with this tribe. Not since LibertyCon, so nigh unto 10 months. I’ve really missed these folk and been looking forward to getting here.
Of course, you can lay your hands on (see what I did there) Paladins of Valor tomorrow! Check out the awesome art and the amazing list of authors in the Table of Contents. It’s really awesome.
Pre-order it here: amazon.com/dp/B0CY9T4DHG/.
One of the people I’m most looking forward to seeing is Chris Kennedy. He’s made all this happen and it’s too long since I bought him a beverage.
Most of this week has been about logistics, both getting to the event (which is a decent drive) or things for the store, but I did get a really cool thing written for Okkorim over the weekend. As usual, I can’t talk details, but I can say it’ll be one of the ways innovative DMs will make Okkorim their own.
I’m sure I have more to say, but I’m at a con and I’m getting distracted. Shocking, I now. Catch you all next week!
What I’m Listening To
The sound of friends chatting in the hotel lobby. Pretty darn awesome.
Quote of the Week
On this day in 1943, the plane holding Isoruku Yamamoto was shot down. You’ve probably heard the famous quote by him, but here’s another along the same vein.
“A military man can scarcely pride himself on having smitten a sleeping enemy; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten.”
– Isoroku Yamamoto

New Releases
This week’s release is Prince Dominator, the eighth book in Fred Hughes’ Prince of Britannia series. Hazard has taken the Sol System… but will he be able to hold onto it while getting the information back to Britannia? Get it here: amazon.com/dp/B0D19WN6HN.
Your pre-release this week is Never Again is the first book in Bill Fawcett’s new Blood and Armor series. Bill Fawcett? THE Bill Fawcett who’s list of accomplishments in SF is a mile long? That one?
Yep, that’s the one. Get Never Again here: amazon.com/dp/B0CW18N86G.
And then, of course, there’s Paladins of Valor out tomorrow!
They defend the weak, no matter the time, place, or foe.
They stand up for others in the cold dark of space, the dusty Wild West, and lands of mystical empires.
They fight with any weapon that can help them save those behind them, whether it’s battlemechs, magic, swords, or even Sharps rifles. Along the way, they discover they can be more than they ever thought.
So come join us as we visit, in fourteen great stories, the worlds of Hanuvar, the Black Company, Kish, the Milesian Accords, and more great universes because there are always those who stand up for those who can’t.
We call them paladins.
Pre-order it here: amazon.com/dp/B0CY9T4DHG/.
