I Forgot the Fragging Glossary

(and I’m not re-uploading the book)

So here I am. On the shore of my own shame.

Somewhere between formatting the manuscript, designing the cover, and triple-checking the print bleed, I forgot something kind of important:

The glossary.
You know—the part that explains all the terms I hurl at you within the first five pages of A Fierce Allegiance like a narratively over-caffeinated raccoon.

“It’s sarcasm, Josh.”

“Sarcasm?”

“It’s from the Greek, sarkasmos. To bite the lips. It means that you aren’t really saying what you mean, but people will get your point. I invented it, Bartholomew named it.”

“Well, if the village idiot named it, I’m sure it’s a good thing.”

“There you go, you got it.”

“Got what?”

“Sarcasm.”

“No, I meant it.”

“Sure you did.”

“Is that sarcasm?”

“Irony, I think.”

“What’s the difference?”

“I haven’t the slightest idea.”

“So you’re being ironic now, right?”

“No, I really don’t know.”

“Maybe you should ask the idiot.”

“Now you’ve got it.”

“What?”

“Sarcasm.”
