Now, on to this week's business. Three winners have been chosen in the signup contest for autographed copies of our paperbacks and map and those lucky winners have been emailed.
This week's Notable and Quotable comes from Roland's Vow, Book II of the Heirs of Vanity Series;
“You are all heirs of vanity,” Lynneare said as he looked out over the lands of Lawrec. “My vanity and the vanity of others.”
“My lord?” Ashcliff asked.
“Never mind,” Lynneare said. “Is your payment adequate compensation for your time and efforts?”
“Yes,” Ashcliff said.
“Have you any ambitions regarding the Masters of your profession?” Lynneare asked.
“My plans in that regard I do not share with anyone, no offense.”
“None taken,” Lynneare said. “Allow me to say this, if one as capable as you were to have ambitions, then I would be interested in investing in those plans.”

-Furthermore, he knew he wouldn’t make it to his coach. Not right away, certainly. Those hungry for gruesome opportunity were already positioning themselves between him and his escape. He didn’t fault them for their desires for power. All individuals desire power, even if it is only enough power to isolate themselves from the world.

Notables and Quotables
This week's Notable and Quotable is from the new book, Fires that Forge (Book I Lords of Order and Chaos Series). We have a tentative release date of Summer, 2020.
-The sky was the color of old bruises. The damp, cold air of the fall morning was the sort that made its way into the muscles and joints of those who’d seen too much labor or war.
In the northern city of Moras in the kingdom of Lethanor, young physician Silas of the House Morosse forced himself to a steady, calm pace. He pulled his cloak tight against the chill of the nearby harbor air. His bare feet trod along the cold black stones of the street. On any other day the bone chilling damp that surrounded and penetrated him would have caused him much discomfort. However, this morning his mind was on murder.
Two murders in fact. His father, Killian of House Morosse, and his mother Helena both lay cold in the absolute inertia that is the chief characteristic of death. Each chilling foot fall took him further, and farther, from that scene of finality and closer to what he hoped would be an ally.
