    Galnemer's next novel arrives in just under two months...

    ...and it is already getting some good advance reviews from Kirkus and at Amazon.

    http://www.amazon.com/The-Hallowed-O...pr_product_top


    Obviously not a book that most of us would enjoy, being possessors of a Y chromosome and very proud of it, etc., but if you know someone who might like it, please spread the word or make a gift of it, if for no other reason you folks won't have to listen to me ***** and moan about stupid ****ing parents and their stupid ****ing questions about constipation and fevers of 99 degrees after I retire to mooch off her royalties.


    Oh, and her second novel's German translation was just released in Duetschland, under the title of Feuersturm. I think? Germans and their ****ing spelling. Anyway, buy it for your German friends, so they have something to do other than plotting WWIII.

    Alas, that is still more entertaining than any book I have ever read.

    Thanks for the heads up, Guy.

    My mom really enjoyed Galnemer's previous books and actually asked me the other week when the next one is coming out. She'll be preordering shortly.

    Amazon apparently has some program where they send out advance copies to popular reviewers.

    I am confused. This appears to just be... Asher being a nice guy?

    So. exactly how much research did she do on the Amish before writing this? I'm just curious as I wasn't aware of a large Amish community where you are.

    In Ohio? Yeah. Ohio is the location of the mass beard-cutting attacks that happened a few months back.

    The leader of the attackers looks shockingly like my father. Anyway, I'll tell my wife about these.

    Shittons. Both in answer to amount of research and the number of Amish in Ohio.

    Depends on what factors he is basing "deserve" on. It could still be an insult. (For instance, if he is being nice to the weak because he doesn't feel they deserve his full effort.)

    So instead of liked and respected, one might simply be deemed unworthy of scorn???

    Wow. ...do you suffer from an inferiority complex to even think in such a fashion?

    I see many possibilities. A positive one had been addressed, a negative one had not (and in fact had implicitly been denied it's existence) and so I brought it up so that it wouldn't feel bad about itself.
