More information on C&D2!!!
I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for a release date and whatnot. I can’t quite give that out yet, but here’s some things along those line.
C&D has a publisher now!
More details will be coming soon. I will say that they have been a pleasure to work with, and I think you’ll agree they did a fantastic job. But as I said, more details will be coming soon.
C&D1 will be reissued!
Because Amazon does not allow a book to be transferred between publishing accounts, we decided the best option was to republish C&D1 with a fantastic new cover and better formatting than the O&H Books edition. Unfortunately, we cannot make this change to older ebook copies (and obviously not older print copies) because it’s a different edition. We have added nothing and changed nothing but minor fixes. Two or three minor changes for consistency could be called, if you tried hard enough, retcons, but, no, really, it’s the same book. Greedo does not shoot first.
It’s up to you if you want the newer edition or not, but both are still the same book. The old edition will be taken down some time after Amazon links them, and then we’ll have the newer edition. C&D will remain in KU.
We also will have a second hardback edition and third paperback edition, with vastly improved formatting. We’ll have even more details August 15th, along with a cover reveal!
C&D2 will come out in October or November THIS YEAR!!!
You heard it right. This is not quite a release date yet, but this is definitely a release date range. We’ll have more details–and an exact day–as the time approaches. I’m sure you’ll all enjoy it!

What to the Modern White Guy is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”?
I have always been inspired by the story of Fredrick Douglass, a slave who escaped slavery to become a renowned orator and author. His is not the story of a man who was second-rate, shooed into the spotlight only for his relative accomplishments compared to his past. What use would that be? No, he was not merely any random speaker, but Fredrick Douglass, a name that survives to this day in history books, no matter how often it is skimmed over.
Signal Boost: SINGULARITY SUNRISE!
A shameless plug for someone else.
The Taste for Realism
I have seen, and admittedly indulged in that fan activity I will call the Fact Checking Game. It goes like this: First, you take some work of fiction, particularly a popular one, and you find some fascinating idea or claim it has. Then you deconstruct it with real world logic, checking all the facts and invariably coming up with an unrealistic or at least implausible conclusion. At this point, bemoaning that the creator did not think of this may commence. As a sequel, you can find some plausible counterpoint, and argue with the proponents of the former conclusion until the cows come home.
This is not, in itself, a bad thing.
Hooray! I can’t wait
Very much looking forward to it. Thanks for letting us know!
Oh jeez. I only read the first book this summer, but man am I excited for more.
Yay! Managed to lose (as in, “uh, did I forget that in the train? No way… Nooooo!!!”) the hardcover some time ago, so I might as well buy the new one.
