COMING SOON, THE FOURTH OF THE SHIFTER SERIES. FROM SARAH A. HOYT:  Bowl of Red.

#COMISSIONEARNED

(Yes, there will be paper. Probably up and ready to be ordered tomorrow. And yes, number 5 soon. Probably six months. Meanwhile, other series will get continued.)

At the top of a tall mountain, there lives a dragon. And the dragon is the master of all animals.
Okay, let’s rewind that. Tom Ormson is a dragon shifter, the scion of a line that was created to rule both Chinese and Norse dragons. But he doesn’t want the job. He co-owns a diner with his wife, Kyrie, who is about to deliver their first child.
In fact, they just got married, when the entire shifter-world, which centers on their diner goes insane.
You see, it is a time of Ragnarok, which means all of the shifter clans are in turmoil, with changing leadership. And the lion clan, to which Kyrie belongs has just lost its leader. Also, the Queen of the Norse dragons has woken, and wants a word with the Great Sky Dragon.
Hold on to your hats. A wild ride is about to begin, with Tom, Kyrie and their friends at the center of it.
When it ends, the world will never be the same again.

I WAS GOING TO SAY XI WON FOR NOW BUT HE STILL DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT MONEY IS, OR WHERE IT COMES FROM:  Emperor Xi got his coronation, purges former leader Hu Jintao; Rishi Sunak apparently will be new British PM. [UPDATE: he is].

He is therefore doomed.  Then again, it occurs to me none of the current leaders in the west also understand what money is or where it comes from.

Pray or drink. And sometimes both.

WE MIGHT BE HEADING THERE, BUT WE WON’T GET THERE:  Reader: “It is so overwhelming, I am getting too depressed about where our country is heading”.

I don’t think it will be as easy as he thinks it is. But I also don’t think we’re lost.  I think we’ve turned the corner. But as Bill Whittle said some time ago, you suffer most casualties after you’ve won the war. It’s going to be tough. The suffering has just started. But they can’t win. We can lose, but they can’t win. Take heart, and don’t go wobbly on me.
