Edwin Case is a real big man, let me tell you. He played Real American Football, lifted weights, wrestled, and did all the other stuff strong young men like to do in school. Then the Peloran Treatments kicked in with their final little oh-so-random gift and he became Ageless. His career and his records went away and he returned home a broken and bitter man. That’s where most biographies of him stop until the day the judge gave him a choice between the Marines and jail time after a particularly impressive bar. Very few biographies get into why he had a choice at all. The answer is both simple and complicated. The simple part is that he was an associate member of Knights Errant Investigations in good standing. Until then. The complicated part is that an associate member of Knights Errant Investigations picked a bar fight with the Marines while drunk as a skunk.

Chloe

The Islamic Brotherhoods did not react well when Chloe finally appeared in a real, physical form beside the Napoleon she had brought to France. They’d been trying to kill her since they bombed Old Paris, and she’d made herself a major nuisance to them ever since. So when they finally saw her, in public, easy to target, they took the bait. If any of them thought she might be a trap, it wasn’t the ones that went gunning for her. She had numerous robotic bodies operating by then, each one running a copy of her main personality, and some were truly exceptional combatants. She scored an impressive number of Brotherhood kills in the days following her public unveiling in France.

Christmas Season

We’ve woken up from our Turkey Comas. We’ve survived Black Friday. Now it is time for Cyber Monday and all the times that follow it. We’ve entered the Christmas Season, powered by Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us. Oh. Wait. Anyways, this is the greatest shopping season of the year, powered by the idea of giving gifts to other people.

I ask that you consider what you give and who you give it to. Do they really want it? Or would something else work just as well? Can you really give it? Don’t go into debt for a gift. Be careful what you give. But also try to give something that means something. Yes, it isn’t always easy to find the right gift. But don’t worry. You still have a month to figure it out if you haven’t already.

Tick Tock.

Merry Christmas Season.

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving Day weekend I am thankful that I have a roof over my head and food on my table. I can eat when and where I want. And I can write stories and people will buy them. That’s an awful lot of things to be thankful for in my mind.

This Thanksgiving Day weekend I am thankful that I have friends and family nearby. I ate dinner with both over the last two weekends. I got to spend time with them and talk to them. I played games and watched good movies. It’s the best thing in the world to be able to spend time with people you like. To talk with them and enjoy doing things together with them. It’s a good reason to be thankful, I think.
