Back Again
The Old One and I have been Blogging Mightily at the OldDog Barks. On the writing side there is news! The Prologue for the sixth Cardoman Book, Marjoram, is now up at the FutureVerse.
Feel free to visit both places and take a look around.

A Very Blue Moon is Complete
This is the third time I have been able to use this post title and most of the words today. Consider it a Press Release.
Here is a copy of how I signed out at the FurureVerse:
Chapter 27 of the fifth Cardoman novel is now online. I could write an essay about starting the story a year ago then setting it aside for six months while I worked on other things before finishing it today. But instead I will just post the book’s last two paragraphs which give a picture of how I am feeling about now.
As they transitioned out Wes Calvert proposed a toast. “We have what we came here for.” Holding out his glass he continued, “Here’s hoping this once,” and he paused, “our reach,” and paused again, “did not exceed our grasp.” And he finished it off in one quick motion before dropping the glass to the deck and crushing it under his foot. Each of the others did the same.
Later on a Federation rating swept up and bagged the shards along with video recordings of the toast. He saved it all for shipment back to Union. It just might be worth something someday.

Finally Something New
I have been sick as a true Dog the last two days and my brain was just starting to work late this afternoon.
Not clear enough to write originally but clear enough (as well as slightly slowed down) that I figured out what was wrong with the draft of my next Tales of the Interregnum installment.
So go forth and read Mechanized!

Since Last Time
I have taken A Very Blue Moon at the FutureVerse up to Chapter 18. The Old One and I are still blogging daily at the Old Dog Barks as well.
When Oldiwan gets back to work on Devil in the Mirror there will be more action here. For now keep checking the other two sites.

Return of the FutureVerse
Just a quick note to let you know that A Very Blue Moon, the fifth book in the Cardoman Series of Military SF Adventure has had three chapters added to it in the last week over at the FutureVerse. That was after a six month stoppage where I spent my time writing for The Old Dog Barks and the Junk Science Forum. The Forum folded and I am working on the book again and finished chapters 12-14. I look to have chapter 15 posted in another week.

Merry Christmas
Last year we posted this but due to problems caused by a WordPress version change we were unable to get the music to play. We converted to a newer music player and this year got it right. Here’s hoping your new year will work out better than the last as well.
A Merry Christmas to All.
And to All a Good Night!

PSA
UPDATE:
This site may experience some serious outages on Saturday Dec 18th (Sometime later this week). I will be installing a hardware firewall for the entire Data Center that is Fort OldDog and the programming could take some big hunks of time! As in turn my brain to Mush!
May the Devil take the Spammers and Virus spreaders who are causing them. If you read our books, I would love to sic Andy Webb and Team 1 on their asses!
I do have the programming figured out, it is just going to take more time than I have to devote to it Today the 19th!

A Little Vindication Here
Great read on a new test by the NAVY. I think that is a great research program!
As soon as they can get that up to 500 Megajoules they can start trying to build their very own Challenger Class! Don’t forget the Grasers while you are at it guys!

Along the Lines of “It’s About Time”
There is a new Chapter up in tales of the Interregnum. Remember as you read that I am one tricky Bastard and that the purpose of a Bridge collection of short stories is to set up either characters or situations for the next book.
Based on that you can be sure that there are some Smoke and Mirrors in Armor .
