YOU WISH THESE WERE THE CRAZY YEARS. THESE ARE THE IDIOTIC YEARS:  Silly Games.

IN THE EMAIL FROM ANNA FERREIRA:  Christmas at Blackheath.

Agnes Rawlins would never dream of showing a melancholy face to her brother’s guests. She may be a spinster, and treated little better than any common housekeeper, but she is responsible for bringing Christmas cheer into the dark and rambling Blackheath Manor, and she does not shirk her duty, even when she has little reason to celebrate.

William Marlowe, Viscount Claridge, has reluctantly accepted an invitation to spend the Christmas season at Blackheath. It’s not his first choice- how anyone could wish to spend time in the gloomy manor house is beyond him- but when he meets the kind and gentle lady of the house, he find that Christmas at Blackheath might not be so bad after all. (A clean Regency romance.)

YOU HAVE TO PITY THEM, THOUGH. THEIR MAGIC WORDS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. OKAY, MOSTLY YOU HAVE TO DESPISE THEM FOR BEING UNTHINKING SELF-LOBOTOMIZING MORONS. BUT YOU CAN PITY THEM TOO:  Sempiterna Sinistra.

I AM IN THIS BOOK, ALONG WITH PEOPLE YOU MIGHT KNOW LIKE kEVIN J ANDERSON, DAVID WEBER AND STEVE STERLING:  Trouble in the Wind (The Phases of Mars Book 3).

Throughout the human experience, historians have wondered, “What if?” What if Sherman had fought for the South in the U.S. Civil War? What if Germany had fought to the end in World War I? What if World War III had actually happened?

Wonder no more, for these questions, along with many others, are answered within the pages of this book. Told by a variety of award-winning authors, like Sarah Hoyt and Kevin J. Anderson, the 2018 Dragon Award Winners for Alternate History, S.M. Stirling, the 2019 Dragon Award Winner for Alternate History, David Weber, a three-time Dragon Award Winner for Best Military Science Fiction, and Brad R. Torgersen, the winner of the 2019 Dragon Award for Best Science Fiction, “Trouble in the Wind,” deals with ground combat that never happened in our world…but easily could have.

The third book in the exciting “Phases of Mars” anthology series, there is something for everyone inside! From fighting Hannibal at the Battle of Cannae, to the early death of Napoleon, to scouting the bush in Angola, “Trouble in the Wind” traces a history of ground warfare…that wasn’t. From warfare in Taylor Anderson’s “The Destroyermen” series…to S.M. Stirling’s “Black Chamber,” this book has it, so come aboard and find out “what if” all of these things had changed history…just a little. You’ll be glad you did!

THEY’D BETTER LEARN HOW TO SWIM OR THEY’LL SINK LIKE A STONE, FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE ACHANGING:  Jeremy, we hardly knew ye.

OF THEY COULD PROCESS THE RESULTS FROM GREAT BRITAIN, WE’D GET REAL FLOP SWEAT. BUT THEY CAN’T. AND SO THEY CONTINUE TRYING TO STAMPEDE US THEIR WAY. ULTIMATELY THEIR HUBRIS FIGHTS ON OUR SIDE:  The Democrats’ Bad Poker Faces.
