KEN LIZZI’S: Boss: Falchion’s Company, Book 1 is now in audio.

A city governed by wizards can still have an underbelly that is governed by crime lords. Out-of-work mercenary Falchion arrives in the city of Groft and signs on with the boss of the organized crime outfit. But when Falchion’s distaste for the work angers the boss, his only move is to become the boss himself.

Even if he succeeds, Falchion will have more trouble in store – trouble that his sword alone may be unable to cut through. For, there is a connection between the underground criminal organization and the wizards in their lofty towers, and no one received wizardly permission for a change in leadership.

I MIGHT TAKE HIS CRITICISM OF TRUMP’S BLOCKING THE UN’S PRO-ABORTION AGENDA MORE SERIOUSLY IF BURUNDI, EGYPT, RWANDA, CUBA, VENEZUELA, CHINA, INDIA, SAUDI ARABIA and the UNITED ARAB EMIRATES WEREN’T MEMBERS OF THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL.  MIGHT – BUT PROBABLY WOULDN’T:  UN chief declares women’s inequality ‘stupid’ and a global shame.

Also, let’s be real, okay? This guy is PORTUGUESE.  My kids who are no shrinking violets or PC mavens, are always shocked by the casual sexism built into Portugese culture. This isn’t the pot calling the kettle anything. This is the pot screaming that the teacup is much rustier.

I COULD DO WITH LESS INTERESTING TIMES:  The Battling B’s.
