Hopefully the libraries will open soon.

The joke on Monday was this has been a hard week.
It’s Saturday night now.
Life is good, really. Perspective is hard to maintain, but if I’m being serious, life is good.
Conflict
Background independence is the shibboleth of modern navel-gazing physics.
SEO spambots
They’re fascinating. They leave a distinct URL ‘from’ address in the logs that if clicked on, redirect to a malware loaded spam page. It’s pretty clever. If I didn’t pay attention the logs, I wouldn’t notice the spam, but people who pay attention to logs are probably the most likely targets for SEO spam.
Good scam.

This was a hard week.
Hector and the Fairy Godbear
“Oh, no,” said Hector. “Now I’ll never make it to the party.”
“Grr!” said the bear and ate his evil step mother.
Mara and the Trolls
The ebook preorder link is here: Mara and the Trolls
I’ve never done a preorder before.
I still don’t know what’s going on with preordering the paperback, but I’m working on it.
Stay safe, everyone.
Ebook
Mara and the Trolls Kindle Version is opened for preorders and will go live on Amazon June 1st.
The paperback should go live May 15th, but Amazon isn’t taking preorders for that. If they do, I don’t know how to do it yet.
The ebook will go up for $10 ($9.99), and the paperback for $14.99. Pricing is largely set by Amazon, and I don’t have a whole lot of control over those levers. This a full length book though, about 279 pages. BH was much shorter.
Speaking of BH, I’m not sure why the new edition isn’t automatically updating on Kindle readers and the Windows app. I’m going to work on that while I’m waiting for responses on the Mara stuff.
Story Idea
Sometimes I come up with ideas right before I fall asleep and scrawl them down so the world isn’t deprived of my unfettered genius.
Who wants to hear about the Little Boy and His Fairy God-Bear?
