Liberty or Death is publishing NOW!

Okay, sitrep:
1 I finished Full Circle and it is in the hands of the first line Betas. If any other Betas wants it, let me know. The first draft of the cover is also done.

2:I watched Ready Player One. I had only a vague idea about what I was getting into when I got the Blu-ray. I actively avoided trailers, having mistakenly initially written the movie off as some odd time travel story.
I had a blast. not knowing the trailer meant it was all fresh. Seeing all of the stuff in it had me giddy and bouncing around. I loved it.

 Edit: I watched Valerian last night. Visually kinda cool, it reminded me of all the fun stuff at Daz3d come to life. In some ways it reminded me of my books. Not as much as Ready Player 1 did though.
There were some glaring plot holes.
Spoiler alert: Like the big climax where the ship blasts its way out of the center of the habitat. You've got thousands dead there and a hole to space. A hole that had flaming walls (no oxygen!) and a bunch of people still breathing. (Including the bad guy literally hanging around!)

3: I'm making some progress on the StarCraft diorama despite the heat. More on that later.

4: EDIT: I forgot to upload the spinner of the Sargasso space station. I just did.

And the big news:

GoodLifeGuide managed to blow through the manuscript in shocking speed despite being on vacation. Wow! So, I just finished publishing it.


  Freedom is a wonderful thing to some. To those who wish to rule through power and fear, it is against everything they stand for.
  The Horathian Empire had been beaten back to it's outer reaches but is not defeated. The Federation has momentarily exhausted it's resources to get to this point. Now, they must hold what they've got and rebuild while preparing for another attack.
  Admiral Irons had to rein in his people while moving forward with his own plans. The Federation was ever expanding and resources and people were beginning to become available. Given enough time they would forge a fleet as strong as the pirate's. It would also allow ONI and the resistance cells they were forging time to gather information and to errode support in the pirates.
  But, Admiral White has other ideas. He knows deep down what Napoleon most feared, giving an enemy time. Time to get their own reinforcements in. Time to dig in. Time to go on the offensive once more.
  Time also meant changes in the Horathian Empire, the Federation, and elsewhere. For Admiral White it just meant they had to do something, to move but not to go off half cocked has he had before. It was time for...

         Liberty or Death!



It should go live later today or tomorrow. As usual I'll post the links when they do. :)
