Going Somewhen

I received an e-mail from Amazon suggesting that I might like a newly-published book. I commented on it to my Facebook followers, and one suggested that I might like it. I replied that there was probably nothing in it I could not have written myself. The book was, of course, my own The Essential Guide to Time Travel .

A reader reviewed it on Amazon, under the title No Time Traveler Should Leave Home Without It . I'm encouraged; that should hit my target market.

Joking aside, as of today I have started reading it. Of course I've read it; it went through several drafts for which I was the primary editor. Yesterday, though, I received a few paperback copies, and I'm going through one to see how it does in print.

However, this blog is intended to give you an overview of what I'm writing and publishing in the first half of July, and that managed to hit the shelves last month, so it's time to talk about what's new.

As I previously mentioned, each month begins with a song, and this month I dug back into my high school days and the music of The Last Psalm with web log post #404: The Song "Love's the Only Command" . The Chaplain's Bible Study continued with John 12:48 and continued through this morning with 13:8, and there was one Musings post entitled Center about whether God's plan for me is always about me.

I've continued posting Re Verse All , releasing chapters 135 through 141 and bringing Lauren Hastings, Tomiko Takano, and James Beam together on their journeys. There was a behind-the-writings peek at chapters 133 through 138, web log post #405: Versers Converge . I'm still writing In Verse Proportion, but it is approaching a climax.

My read-through edit of my Romans commentary has me in chapter 5; I haven't really tackled anything else new.

The Christian Gamers Guild published Faith in Play #44: An Alignment Grid , something of an appendix to my miniseries on alignment in which I provide examples of each of the nine squares on the alignment grid in original Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

In the wake of the exploding situation in Great Britain over fans making racial slurs about their own athletes, I wrote web log post #406: Internet Racism , a discussion of the importance of freedom of speech, yesterday.

That appears to be a complete summary of the first half of the month, other than that I still maintain a Patreon blog that gives more detail on most of these. So I'll be back at the end of the month with the next Ides of Mark summary.
