I just idly took out my calculator and worked something out.
Hevun’s Ambassador and Hevun’s Gate together cost a person $5.98 - which is pretty good value for a whole firkin trilogy.
Now if everyone who downloaded a free copy of Hevun’s Rebel [that’s 657 peeps BTW] bought the rest of the trilogy… I would have…
Absolutely no fargin’ worries at all. [Mind you, that almost $4K would quickly go

Person 1: Didn’t you blow up a planet somehow while you having a year long kegger?
Person 2: First; it was merely rendered uninhabitable. Second; the party lasted two and a half years. — RecklessPrudence
There are generally two ways to react when one is the last of one’s kind.
Kirov chose the other one.
He had but one life to live, though it was a long one, and elected to enjoy every last moment. He travelled from world to world,

I got an email this morning from the very nice people at Bespoke Book Covers telling me that I can have my deposit back.
Science fiction is a little more complicated than your mainstream book covers, I guess.
I bear them no ill will. Working on the covers for the Hevun’s Child trilogy was more than a little frustrating. On both sides. I did my best to be nice about it and I completely understand why they decided to not

Read more »When a 16 year old girl in Ohio was filmed being raped by two boys at a party
CNN reporters talked about how tragic it was
because the rapists could have been star athletes
Because God forbid we lose a future football star
over something as silly as forcing oneself onto an unconscious girl
right?
You say that victims of sexual assault were asking for it
But was that 8 year old girl asking for it
When you told her you would

Hey, since I got both R.T.F.M. and Hevun's Rebel, which would be the best to start with?
There’s no particular reading order with those stories. RTFM is the origin/explanation of Rael - who is not in Hevun’s Rebel. OTOH reading RTFM first can lead you to connecting some dots sooner. (I won’t spoil them for anyone)

Sahra groaned in exasperation. Then turned her attention to Simy. “Does it hurt?” she asked. “Going through and being bigger?”
Simy blinked. “The only time it hurt was when I was aware of hurting you. I compressed myself as densely as I could.” He rubbed his arms in a memory.
