frontiers of joy

Norilana Books has now issued its first Press Release about the acquisition of Leaving Fortusa: http://norilanabooks.livejournal.com/38421.html.

I'm so very fired up about this. My ballbuster agent sent the book out with her (genuine, she told me) comment that she felt this was the novel I'd been put here to write, as it were. I was a bit stunned by the description at first, then realized I agreed with her.

It's also a novel that's going to get a lot of people very angry. No one I personally give too much of a $Zb about, to be honest; but a lot of folk out there. I hate raising hackles, but there are times . . . Sinclair Lewis didn't write It Can't Happen Here because he wanted to offend people but because he was terrified by the anti-human horrors that well intentioned Denial might unwittingly accomplish. That's kind of where I'm coming from, too. We can no longer afford the luxury of good people refusing to face the unpleasant truths in front of them.

You go, guy. Keep offending those socio-political autocrats and the people who sustain them. I am so on the same page! Looking forward to reading Leaving Fortusa!

Did I mention to you a while back that I'm neither conservative nor liberal? Well, actually, I lean toward liberal. It's just that I play my cards close to the vest. I really do try to avoid discussing politics and religion, but recent circumstances dictate otherwise.

There are times when we simply must take a stance and fight.
