Author copies are in, initial sales are running ahead of expectations, and we haven't even started promoting Book 7, "Convergence," yet. It's the 1st book in the final trilogy, so you can start reading the fantasy genre's most innovative series right here. #fantasybooks #BookTok tinyurl.com/4ncwux94

The Darbas Cycle is genre-bending fantasy/sci-fi that I call "historical fiction from an imaginary world." My newest addition, Convergence. As Book 7, it's the final book in the 9-book series that's written as an entry point for new readers. #fantasybooks www.amazon.com/Convergence-...

Every working and middle class American knows it.

Money solves problems and makes things much easier.

You have to be crazy rich to starting getting diminishing returns.

What does China really think about Trump? They know about humiliation and won’t take it from him Economically, the trade war may be bad news for Xi Jinping, but ideologically and politically it is a gift

This tracks.

"Whatever equity the US has built up over the last century as a reputable trade partner has been largely wiped out by a businessman-president best known for his bankruptcies."

No one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit of his office.”

Just read a Guardian story with the hede "From nepotism to staggeringly bad contracts: the NFL’s most hopeless franchises," just so I could enjoy the fact that the Bears wouldn't be among the list for once.

“How do you think the president was prepared to issue all these executive orders? How do you think they were prepared to make all of these appointments in such quick succession after he got into office? Project 2025.”

Afraid so.

During a game of “finish the sentence” with a journalist on Tuesday, the premier of Western Australia was asked: “JD Vance is a …”

“Knob,” he replied emphatically, prompting laughter and applause from a crowd of mostly business leaders in the state’s capital, Perth.
