My Super-Secret Agenda Revealed

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Arconna said—The fact that Democrats accused Republicans of fiddling with votes and intentionally disenfranchising voters who had names similar to criminals is just as disturbing as Democrats doing the same thing. All that that proves is that no party has the interests of the American people in mind, just their own. I’m absolutely sick of this divide between parties.

YES! That’s it. That’s my secret agenda! I want the Democrats and the Republicans, people in any third parties, and those of us who have NO party that stands for what we think and believe, to work together for the good of the country, and the good of the citizens in it.

All the ceaseless bickering partisanship, all the Democrats Are Bad, Republicans Are Bad, We’re Better Than You Are idiocy, is destroying all of us. The nation is too big to and to diverse to speak with one voice. But its varied voices need to start talking to each other, rather than at each other.

The Romans invented “Divide and Conquer” and both Republicans and Democrats from the far edges of their respective constituencies, and we are a nation deeply divided, when most of us share the common ground of love of liberty, a belief in human rights and freedoms, the right to the pursuit of happiness, and the value of representative government made up of people who ACTUALLY REPRESENT US. Our divisions are taking all of that away from us, a piece here and a piece there, from both ends of the spectrum.

HUGE SPOILER WARNING FOR TALYN FOLLOWS—–

It’s Out There (The Ruby Key is Live)

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I’ve been haunting the local bookstore, and THE RUBY KEY isn’t on the shelves yet, so it didn’t really dawn on me that people are already reading it.
But Tina already has a review up (and is giving a copy away), and I’m not ready.
I knit two pairs of Genna’s socks to give away, and they’re […]

A Book Giveaway (sort of)

Saturday, June 2nd, 2007

Lots of my novels for free if you’ll pay the postage.

Thank you

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

I’d like to take the time to thank each of you who has faced out a copy of Talyn at your bookstore, or bought a copy for yourself or someone else, or recommended it to a friend or a bookseller. I apologize for being so distracted by garbage that I haven’t taken the time […]

The Tonk need a rescue

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Talyn debuts in paperback today. With luck, you’ll find it in local indie bookstores, where real people order books, and where support for my work has been strong. If you don’t have an indie store, then you may find it in your local chain bookstore, but computers order the books for chains, and […]

Talyn Paperback!

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

I had no idea what the cover was going to look like. Found it today on Amazon. Wow.

Update

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

I wrote a long post yesterday, but my browser ate it, and I was too exhausted to do it again. The short version is that yesterday I woke up at 2:30 AM, got up and started to work at 4:30 AM, and by one had finished Chapter Five of The Ruby Key, the complete […]

Both lovely and much appreciated.

Three Wizards of Death
