I've been developing a new story for a science-fantasy series set in the distant future, like Vance's DYING EARTH. This one has been gestating for 4 years. But now I think I have a handle on it. Six of these have been published so far. I feel that I need 2 more for a collection.

Police in the US have killed 42 people so far in 2026, a small number of which have been at the hands of ICE/CBP. These federal goon squads are one part of a rotten whole.
