Status Updates From Royal Gambit: A Novel

Interesting, so O'Malley sets his series in basically the real world (but with things lurking in the shadows) but he does away with any attempt to square the circle with real living people (anyone more recent the Churchill, basically). The royals, the celebrities, everybody is basically made up, but the Buckeyes still beat Rutger 56-21 in 2019, LOL!

W00h! Columbus, Ohio reference! I know that's kind of silly to be excited about, but it's weird living in a city with ~2 million people (including the burbs) that almost never appears in or is even mentioned in any sort of fiction (I mean, last time I remember reading a book with Columbus appearing was Ready Player One... and that was... a decade ago?)
