OK, folks. Patreon-posting of A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, a space opera inspired by history, will launch tomorrow.
I'm dropping this here both to lock me into this decision (no take-backs now!), and to start a thread to which I'll add links weekly.
The first two chapters will be free-to-read, and the rest for subscribers only - but this will be great for accountability as I prepare to write Books 2 & 3 in The Dark-Eyed Nebula trilogy.
Chapters 5 & 6 are now up, in audio and text alike, for Patreons following A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, my wartime space opera inspired by Thucydides.
As we go along, each post not only includes a quick summary of where we left off, but also reflections on the history of the Peloponnesian War, political science concepts, and key historiography, as they relate to elements in my tale of dodging war and nationalism (in space!).
I was on Cold Turkey for a bit, so I couldn't post Chapters 9 & 10 here when they went live, but Chapters 11 & 12 are now up for Patrons following A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, my wartime space opera inspired by Thucydides.
Each post includes some historical reflection (and an Easter egg, today!), along with a summary of the story to date. Enjoy, if you do!
(Free-to-read Patreon post soon.)

Chapters 13 & 14 are now up in audio and text format for Patrons following A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, my wartime space opera inspired by Thucydides.
Each post includes some historical reflection, along with a summary of the story to date. Today's selection answers the Easter egg question in our last chapters, and discusses pre-war and mid-war Athenian politics and political actors.
Enjoy, if you do!

@MLClark morning CoSo โ๏ธ
I plan on joining to finish the story once this book release craziness is over, @MLClark. I look forward to it. ๐
I've fallen behind, @MLClark. I'll need to join and catch up once I have a chance. ๐
You 'n' me both! I have to finish @joycereynoldsward's book so I can get a BookTube up celebrating Indie work through you two and your releases. The next piece is a Clarkesworld monthly review, but the one after that is for you two.
The trouble is, my 10-book Le Guin Award review just walloped me this past month, and I still have an academic SF book review in queue next.
So, we'll meet in the middle eventually. :)
So much to read!
So few eyeballs and earholes to use!
Chapters 7 & 8 are now up, with 28 minutes of 100% elephant-free audio, for Patrons following A FERTILE SOURCE OF RUIN, my wartime space opera inspired by Thucydides.
Each post not only includes a quick summary of where we left off, but also reflections on history, political science concepts, and key historiography, as they relate to our world and/or elements in my tale of dodging war and nationalism (in space!).
Enjoy! ๐ซ๐
