But seriously, I really liked Gerent because he's pretty down to earth, a bit clueless and disrespectful but always the kind of person that gets things done one after another without getting distracted. Kind of like a bumblebee doing its work disregarding such little things as rank and bullying narcissist actresses. It's one of my favorite books.
But I like Sara better.

Actually, I liked Gerent's book better than Ancient Kings.
I hope it will be good, but a lot of this is really scene setting and clean up for the last series, before we start into "Age of the Young Ancients". Yeah, that's right, they get their own age.

However, a major sub-plot/theme of the coming book, (working title "Pain Maiden" Which in case you missed it is the name of Sara's ship. Because...) is immigration, cultural integrity and people feeling forced to alter their traditional way of doing things in order to survive.
There are some politics involved, but not left/right division really. Because... boring.

Get money out of politics or at least make it transparent! Always say to the right extremists, "I thought this country was great enough to heal it's sick, feed, it's hungry, and house it's poor. Guess not..."
OW!!! Damn, just fell off my soapbox...

Agreed Ron.
Now lets get ready for some Sara. For my money this is going to be the best YA book since Ancient Kings. I got 2 dollars and 37 cents burning a hole in my pocket that says so if there are any takers. Marcia being fair and impartial will be the judge of said literary content and render a decision within 10 days of the release of the book.

My point is...please be more moderate, please think for yourself ,please listen to your conscience. You do have one... it's down there somewhere. Just listen closely.

Our country is a mess. Be you a Democrat or Republican things just aren't working. To be honest I'm not sure it really matters which side you pick. These politicians all change sides and positions based on what they think will get them elected anyway. The Monday morning quarterback media reports less on facts and more on the slant they want for the story be it left or right. Powerful lobby groups buy and sell laws that benefit their faction while the average American just has to eat it.
/folds up soap box and scurries off before anyone can get a good look.
(MarciaA had a bit of fun adding the soapbox smilies)

Now, I fear, we are rapidly entering an age in which your opinion, no matter how in keeping with the current government, may well be considered wrong, and therefore punishable, by they next administration.
Today it's fine to be anti-Obama... But what if the next President feels that you saying that now is a threat to their rule? Or the one after that...
Things you said as a joke might well be taken out of context and used against you later. We've seen it before.
What was once a funny joke, that made sense at the time, may in the future be bigotry, sexism or hate speech. And you can't erase it. Not from the NSA database.
So, I write books and try not to say too much. It's still always going to be too much though. I know it. We all do.
Tax stamps...

Before you ask he wasn't a bad guy or anything. He came to the US on a college visa and when he graduated he got a job running a corner store while working on getting his citizenship. One day he was inspected by the TABC (Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission) and they found a couple cigarette boxes that didn't have a state tax stamp on them. It's only a minor misdemeanor but it was enough to get his application rejected. Ice showed up about a month later and arrested him. He was then held for a couple hearings before they sent him home.
Disclaimer: This post although true is meant for entertainment purposes only. On my behalf I would like to say I'm old enough to have went to school when we still had to say the pledge of allegiance and know all the words to the Star Spangled Banner.

I should have that ready for pre-reading in about three weeks, but it won't release until mid September most likely.
Discipline is way behind, mainly due to my feelings about the subject matter and not wanting to end up one another Government watch list.
On a side note: Hello NSA! How have you all been?*
*Yes, I'm kidding. The NSA doesn't watch me anymore than they do anyone else. I'm pretty much an open book, after all.
