Scott Rhine wanted to find a job that combined his love of reading with math problem solving, so he studied both short stories and computer languages. As a techno-gypsy, he worked on optimizing some of the fastest and largest supercomputers in the world. A couple of degrees, patents, and children later, at forty-eight, he still didn't know what he wanted to be when he grew up. When his third publication "Doors to Eternity" unexpectedly hit #16 on the Amazon epic fantasy list, he decided to retire from engineering in order to become a full-time author. Humor is a part of every story he writes because people are funny, even when they don't think so. In the real world, something always goes wrong and people have flaws.

Glory Point completes the arc of this story. Originally, I had a book five envisioned, Legacy of the Magi, that dealt with the follow up. I also have a lot of world-building notes for the world of Anodyne. I could see Max's son attending there and finding out secondhand that he has a half sister. When we build 3d characters, they keep evolving in the back of our heads. The problem is one of economics. As a part of the series, only half the people who read book four are guaranteed to buy five. To pay my editors and cover artist, I need to try to pick projects that will sell a thousand copies. Every once in a while, a voice in the back of my head is so loud that I can't ignore it. That's what happened with the sister series, Jezebel's Ladder. In book five, the third generation psis were so angry with how this world treated women that they had to do something (Senescence)(less)

Poetic but a series of icks that are only redeemed by her acceptance of the only decent father figure in her life. Letting someone drug you and hide your phone around four men is not something you just let go.

“When spreading vicious and damaging gossip about the private affairs of others, one must always use proper grammar and posture.”
Scott Rhine

“As far as how to treat her personally, she’ll teach us how if we let her. But it begins with listening and respect.”
Scott Rhine

“Aaron laid a hand on [Winn's] shoulder. "Winston, we're both adults. A duck charity every week? Is that what she told you as a child? Say the words with me: 'coven meeting.'"
"No..."
"And the meetings on All Hallows Eve, the solstices, all special meetings for duck wetland emergencies?"
"Glee club," Winn said weakly.
"Right. I often take off all my clothes in the moonlight and dance for glee club.”
Scott Rhine
