Bard Hard Art + A New Series in the Works
Hey folks,
I’m finally getting around to pointing this out: the new cover art for Bard Hard has been live for a while now… and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
I held off on saying much because I was waiting for the audio book update to go through (which took longer than expected), but now that everything’s caught up, I wanted to give it the spotlight it deserves.
Huge thanks to the insa

Oh, uh... yeah. I gave it five stars. Honestly, I didn’t think it would let me do that, but... uh... it did. And now it’s gonna look weird because, you know... author. But hey, it’s honest—I wouldn’t have published it if I thought it was just a four-s ...more |

“I have not voted in a human presidential election for quite some time, Jonathan. Admittedly, it may not be my place. Still, do you know what really stops me from selecting a candidate?” Jonathan listened but mostly focused on containing his nausea. “It’s a paradox, I know. It just seems that anyone smart enough to know the responsibility of such a seat of power would never be dumb enough to apply for it.”

“You’re worth three of these other retards that I have working for me,” Mr. Fletcher said. For a moment, he’d been flattered; then he realized he’d just been given the value of three retards.”

“to keep a secret, you hide it somewhere you think is hard to find—then, you don’t tell anyone you hid it. When you want to hide a truth, you put it somewhere dark and call it evil, because only the smart or the brave will find it there. In general, this works well for everyone, because the truth is only a threat to the stupid and the cowardly.”

Topics Mentioning This Author
“Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story which was a dialogue between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to guessing that they were making champagne.”

“As I approached my fiftieth birthday, I had become more and more enraged and mystified by the idiot decisions made by my countrymen. And then I had come suddenly to pity them, for I understood how innocent and natural it was for them to behave so abominably, and with such abominable results: They were doing their best to live like people invented in story books. This was the reason Americans shot each other so often: It was a convenient literary device for ending short stories and books.
Why were so many Americans treated by their government as though their lives were as disposable as paper facial tis-sues? Because that was the way authors customarily treated bit-part players in their made-up tales.
And so on.Once I understood what was making America such a dangerous, unhappy nation of people who had nothing to do with real life, I resolved to shun storytelling. I would write about life. Every person would be exactly as important as any other. All facts would also be given equal weightiness. Nothing would be left out. Let others bring order to chaos. I would bring chaos to order, instead, which I think I have done. If all writers would do that, then perhaps citizens not in the literary trades will understand that there is no order in the world around us, that we must adapt ourselves to the requirements of chaos instead. It is hard to adapt to chaos, but it can be done. I am living proof of that: It can be done.”

life not worth living, but I had also given him an iron will to live. This
was a common combination on the planet Earth.
