And the answer is yes! Book 4 (focused on Laz) will be out in May (preorders next month if I can get the cover done!), and I'm hoping that book 5 (finishing up the Sam/Ulysses arc) will be out by the end of 2025. I've written several other books in the series about other characters, but I don't have an exact publication timeline. I'm hoping that altogether there will be nine books, and possibly one collecting short stuff (like "Dous") if I manage to write enough short stuff to make a book.(less)

Of course olives are green--actually, I think olives come in a lot of colors depending on ripeness and variety (and how much evil is in them, I assume; I don't really like olives). In English, "olive skin" is a way of describing people who have tan or brown skin with a sort of greenish undertone to it--that is, people who look like their ancestors lived in the Mediterranean, southern Europe, Northern Africa, and a few other regions.

Sam looks like that in part because, as you note, he's also Dionysus, who is Greek. He also looks like that because the Greeks thought of Dionysus as a god who had come to Greece from somewhere else, although archeological evidence suggests he's actually from Greece and had been there for a long time. Similarly, to the average Wisconsinite, Sam will look vaguely foreign, although his family has lived in Wisconsin for a long time.(less)

The Gales of November 2025 Newsletter

There’s a lot going on this month. Probably the biggest news is I have a planned release date for Renaissance (March 2nd). Hopefully I’ll have things ready to put it up for preorder next month, just around the solstice (in honor of Sam’s birthday). There’s also a secret project you’ll find out about then—be ready! I am hard at work to finish the covers for everything.

The Masquerades of Spring by Ben Aaronovitch

A delightful urban fantasy novella set in Harlem in the 1920s. It's written in the voice of PG Wodehouse, or a close approximation, but tackles issues he could never, like queerness, race, and jazz. The story was not super complex (it's a novella, af ...more

“Eli shook his head. "When we first met, I thought you two were respectable."

"Really?" Sam sounded excited.

Ulysses didn't look over at them, even though he must have been working by feel in the dim light. "I knew taking this job was a mistake," he grumbled. "People hear you're a professor, that's the first thing they assume.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“Laz nodded. "Whip a shitty and I'll show you the buyer's place."

Eli stared in mute incomprehension. After a moment, he cleared his throat. "I beg your pardon?"

"Make a U-turn." Laz tilted his head.

Eli finally put the car in gear. "What was that majestic piece of Midwestern vernacular? Whip a shitty?"

Laz rolled his eyes.”
E.H. Lupton, Lazarus, Home from the War

“I can either be your doctor or your boyfriend," Eli said. "And if I have to choose, I don't want to be your doctor.”
