On Language
In translating this history from the Unobtanian, I have, for the sake of clarity and concision, taken certain liberties with the text. For example:
* The terms "ekdol," "ekdolha," "ekdolnu," "merk," "borate as kallataba," and "avai" I have translated as "cousin" throughout.
* "Veh" [red fruit] and "elatu bok eraz monaa" [not-red fruit] have both been rendered as "fruit."
* For "mohe," which can mean Read more of this blog post »

“Our culture teaches that sex is for the sexy, and the only way to be sexy is to be pretty.
No wait--that's still too weak. Sex should properly arise from sexiness. For unsexy people--fat people, old people, funny-looking people, disabled people--to even feel sexual desire is inappropriate, perverse, disgusting. For them to engage in sexual display is offensive. For them to have sex...well, there oughta be a law.”

“I work hard to stay cynical enough! I keep my expectations of our culture and our leaders low, low, low, and I do it so I don't have to be let down. And yet again I am lowballed by the brokenness of the American cultural machine.”

“Tesla,” the vicar mused. “That’s a foreign name, is it not? Hungarian,
is it?”
“Serbian,” I corrected him. “I’m afraid the ——shire Teslas are a
scant three centuries in these parts, having constructed Tesla Hall in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth.We are a restless people, and no doubt
will be moving on again any century now.”

“I am certain
you are not one of those dreary fellows one reads of who demands that
their lady friends be in possession of a maidenhead. Mine was taken
by a marrow two years ago.”
“A marrow, Miss Pertwee? The vegetable that the Italians call il
zucchine?”
“The very same.A most particularly bold and impetuous hot-house
marrow. It was quite the ravishment, I can assure you.”
“I consider it no dishonor at all to be preceded by so noble a vegetable.”

There is a paperback edition. We are giving away three copies for free. I designed the cover myself, and the whole package is, in all modesty, gorgeous. This is a revised and corrected edition with some formatting errors removed and a couple embarrassing vocab anachronisms fixed. You totally want this thing!
And if you've already read the ebook, this would be a great time to post a review if the spirit moves you. Also thank you for spending time reading my strange little book.
The giveaway is at https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/sh...
If you're impatient, pessimistic, or generous, you can buy the book at the usual online suspects or here: https://www.createspace.com/5575742
Soon, you will be able order it at your local bookstore as well. I'll let you know when that happens.
