Dr. Jerry Pournelle died yesterday.

He won the Cold War.

I have wanted to post ads for my work on my LJ for years. So far... well, picture somebody trying to solder electronics with his foot.

Not holding a soldering iron; instead of.

A friend of mine has posted that growing up is realizing there's no hope of getting what you want.

It's not. It's giving up hope.

I have not done so, and I got to be what I wanted to be.

I was 42 then.

That means for 20% of my life my hope has been in artery.

If you please, does anybody who likes my work and hasn't posted reviews yet mind posting them on Amazon? The number of reviews does seem to help.

Thank you.

Doc Pournelle says THERE WILL BE WAR Volume X should be out as an ebook by Christmas.

Cover and contributor list will soon be available on his website Chaos Manor:
