News about "The Lost Pilgrim"...

-

It’s been a while since I updated about my next book, “The Lost Pilgrim”. It took a little longer than I thought it would to go back through and edit. But I am happy to announce, it’s done. The proofs are arriving in a couple of days (woo-hoo!).

I went through it several times and each time, I wanted to add more to the story. This is one of the hardest things about writing. Most of the parts I wanted to add didn’t contribute anything to the story, so I had a real hard time keeping them out of the text. Instead, I put them aside and took notes on them (they will show up in other stories). That being said, I made it, I finished it.

For now, I feel that there is nothing else that needs to be done with the novel except a print check and to make sure all the text is formatted correctly for the transition to EPUB. The good news is it doesn’t take that long to complete the eBook format, it’s just tedious and kind of a pain in the ass. Rest assured, for all you e-readers out there, there will be an eBook within a week of the print copy.

For now, the print copy is complete and provided that everything checks out with the images, the embedded fonts, the formatting, and the page layout (I think they will), it should be ready and on amazon/ Barns and Noble within two weeks!

Keep an eye out on the site here, I will post a link as soon as it is ready!

 

Cheers!

My problem with "The Three Body Problem"...

While straggling through the wilderness of Netflix shows the other day I came across " The Three Body Problem ". I know of story, mostly of the Chinese novel   by the same name. It's on my reading list, I just haven't gotten to it yet. My list is pretty big, so I prioritize which ones I will read first. This one was high on my list, and that hasn't changed. I suspect there is more in the book than there was in the show. Normally I don't like to watch the show before I read the book, but in this case, I didn't see any good options- There's not much on Netflix I haven't seen, at least from a critical stand point. So when I see something new, I typically like to give it a spin. A lot of my friends recommended the book, so I knew something about it. It went on the old reading list when it was first translated. I decided to watch the show which made it to my plate first.  " The Three Body Problem " is an award winning Science Fiction book by ...

This post is for those of you here in the states, not my friends over seas. To the rest of the free world, I feel obligated to apologize for what comes next, because it’s not just going to affect us. It will have ripples that will change everything. This election was the “go ahead” for the Putins, the Kim Jongs, and the Victor Orbans of the world. For that, as an American, I am sorry. To start with, I am so utterly disappointed in so many people today. I did not vote for him, I voted for Harris. For me, the choice was obvious, and oddly enough, it had nothing to do with politics- we’ve been down that road before with this man, he lied then, like we knew he would. Last night we cast our ballots and let the statistics show the nature of our character and basic values we care about. America voted a 34-time felon, twice impeached, con artist into office. We vapidly put the keys to the country in the hands of a narcissistic mad-man and his cronies. A man, who, by our own adjudication sh...

Quote of the week...

"Snow again" J.B. Sommerset (c) 2024 There is an old Marxist saying that goes, "Religion is the opiate of the people." I agree in part with that quote, but there is more to that, it's summed up, sort of, in the rest of his writing. I have chosen to shorten that and add it here. So here you are, the quote of the week.  "Power is the opiate of the rich, much like religion is the opiate of the people..." J.B. Sommerset Cheers!
