MANIFEST DESTINY is about love and resistance in an authoritarian post-apocalyptic United States.

It will be the last fiction I publish under my old pen name, and it's coming out SEPTEMBER 12. Mark your calendars (or hit me up for an ARC if you're so inclined).

The McDonald's wage slave/class traitor who helped frame up Luigi didn't get shit. Maybe someone out there has learned.

Every government employee with a gun is trained to shoot first and ask questions later, so exactly what difference does it make?

Solidarity with the Chilean community as they remember, grieve, and struggle for justice.

The debt to truth and accountability always fall due.

Today we remember 11 September 1973, where Chile’s democratically elected Allende govt. was overthrown in a military coup backed by Washington and facilitated by Australia’s intelligence services.

The result was Pinochet’s dictatorship that killed and tortured thousands.

This is one of those things btw where calling/mailing VISA et al and being as willfully dense as possible is an amazingly good idea.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.
They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.
BREAKING: A grand jury has REJECTED charges against D.C. attorney Paul Bryant, a West Point grad accused of assaulting and threatening to kill National Guardsmen.

Easily the most serious charges to get no true billed so far during the federal surge.

There's no good or ethical reason to wonder that unless you're collecting testimony.

A few miles freeze and melt every year with the coming of polar day/night, flooding the surrounding plains, and it serves as a symbol of the cold and famine from which the Emperor guards his citizens.

This occurs ~3,000 years before my first stories, and led eventually to the imperial cult prevailing in the Empire at the time of the first novels. With fire comes industry, though, and we'll see how changing modes of production complicate things politically.

Rama was founded by some of the first humans to harness the magic of fire. While a few communities had existed south of the glacier, they made the permanent settlement of Rama possible--and started the chain of events leading to the birth of the Empire.
