Hello All,

Dale and I have been communicating about the recent problems with the Forum here at pspowerbooks.com. It has been decided to retire the Forum and move all author & conversational interactions over to Patreon.

Over the next week or so, I'll be closing down the Forum and creating redirects to start funneling visitors of the Forum over to that URL (the main website showing all the books will be staying).

Thank you everyone for your participation on the Forum these past several years! See you on Patreon!! :mrgreen:

p.s. Sorry about all of the coding errors. They reset nightly these days and I can't keep up with changing the code that often... :(

It was one of your longer books too, over 150K. Took me eight or nine hours to get through it, not everyone has that much time or can take a day off for it. Not sure if that would account for it or not?

My boss is a workaholic jerk, but I can usually get a day off to proofread a P.S. Power book.

Self employed... the jerk is me, damned slave driver.

The book should be going up in a few days. I need to get the blurbs ready and all that kind of thing.

Then I need some kind of advertising campaign. :) It's really different than most of what I have worked on in the past!

Yes, I really enjoyed this one. I’d enjoy a follow up on it too :)
I’d like to slowly learn more of his background, and see how the war progresses and how well people manage.

So far everyone has said that they really like it. Including people that often don't mention that kind of thing when they read one of my books... So, I'm taking that as a good sign?

The struggle then will be in how many people want to give it a chance. It's not fantasy or sci-fi. If it goes big (it might! it's pretty timely and I hope thought-provoking) then there will be attacks from the extreme left. I'm showing them a mirror and they will not love seeing their reflection right now. (Probably one-star reviews, not hit squads. I know, I said "attacks" but there are limits.

On the other hand, if it doesn't find an audience in time, then it wasn't worth doing. (Even though, I think it was, as a book. it has a limited shelf life though, unless similar events actually happen in real life.)

I keep checking Amazon to see if your book is uploaded and ready yet. Gah! Want to reread it without all the interruptions I had.

Aside from work the last two or three weeks covered pretty much everybody's kids Spring Breaks. I don't know about anybody else but I've been in Tucson Phoenix Flagstaff the Grand Canyon and Vegas since a week ago Wednesday. Maybe they're all taking their kids to Disney or something.
