New forthcoming title! Amazon currently lists a Kindle version for January 2026 and a paperback in July 2026. I’m assuming there will be a trade hardcover and have listed it as such, but don’t know that for sure. I’ll update the entry accordingly as more information becomes available.

Important areas of the house like the kitchen are completely unpacked along with things like the TV, the network, and a new desk of my office. Things like the library will take months. I’ve completed my first full week of the day job and so far it’s going well. I’ll be somewhat slow to get back to this regularly, but when there’s something new, as there is this week, I’ll be sure to get it added ASAP.

Sorry folks, no updates or additions and maybe not any for a little while. Yes, the thing happened but I still can’t share the full story. What I can say is the I’m leaving Nebraska for a new job in another state. Cue packing nearly 10,000 books and everything else we own; selling this house and buying another in another state. I’m a little busy. But, I am not abandoning this site or the overall project. More details to come once they’re public. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.
