KIND OF DEPENDS IF YOU WANT MONEY OR APPLAUSE:  Who Really Matters: Readers or Gatekeepers?

WELL, IF YOU DON’T GIVE YOUR KIDS TOY GUNS, THEY’LL SHOOT EACH OTHER WITH GRAHAM M CRACKERS CHEWED INTO THE SHAPE OF GUNS:  Advice Columnist Tries To Tackle Toy Guns And Mass Shootings.

THE LEFT DESTROYS EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH:  Sax and Violins.

FROM ALMA T. C. BOYKIN:  Golden Summer.

 

Early ripe, early rotten, or so the proverbs claim.

Pjtor Adamson Swendborg defeated the Harriers and opened NovRodi to the lands across the White Sea. But his wife has not born another living child, and there are whispers that Godown has cursed her or him. He chafes at the old men and old ways that surround him. He may be emperor, but even he must bend to the will of the nobles and the church. As Pjtor wrestles with his past, he discovers that defeated enemies do not always stay defeated.

In his haste to save his world, Pjtor’s impatience may undo all that he has won so far.
