Trading by Shroomlight

by C. M. Simpson

  I’ll make a note to tell that part of the story in Book 6 or 7—I wrote the scene for it some time ago, but there was no real room for it in this book...and if I don’t get to include it, I’ll put it in the author notes. Not every idea makes it into the sight of a reader.

  Maybe I should start doing out-takes.

  This book finalizes the securing of the caverns, at least for now. Book 6 will see Marsh heading in hot pursuit of the raiders who took her people into the Devastation. In a land where the sun still shines, she is going to bring the shadow—and lightning like they’ve never seen...or, at least, that’s the plan.

  Author Notes - Michael Anderle

  July 30, 2019

  THANK YOU for not only reading this story but these Author Notes as well.

  (I think I’ve been good with always opening with “thank you.” If not, I need to edit the other Author Notes!)

  RANDOM (sometimes) THOUGHTS?

  How do you make a post-apocalyptic world safe with magic?

  I was speaking with the same gentleman who helped on the Kurtherian Gambit books (back-pack nuke fiasco) about this, and he helped me understand protons neutrons and ‘physics and chemistry’.

  Two subjects I did NOT work hard on at all.

  However, from that discussion I talked with Marc Stiegler who helped me plan on not transmuting U-235 to lead, but rather perhaps ADDING protons and stuff to create a safe ‘thing’ that I could use later against the Terlorans…

  But, that’s another series.

  The cool thing here is that by having amazing friends, they can help you science the @#@# out of something and allow magic to follow the laws of science to save the world.

  One more time.

  AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

  One of the interesting (at least to me) aspects of my life is the ability to work from anywhere and at any time. In the future, I hope to re-read my own Author Notes and remember my life as a diary entry.

  In the downstairs meeting / resting area Salisbury Greens Bistro / Mansion Edinburgh, Scotland

  I’m sitting across from author Jonathan Brazee and typing up these author notes. We have just finished the 7th day of 20Books Edinburgh and I’m tired.

  However, with all of the smiling faces, I have to tell you it was well worth the expense and time to come to Scotland and help fellow authors grasp the opportunity in front of them and provide a little bit of knowledge from some of us who have gone before.

  To those who helped share, my appreciation. To those who came, I hope we provided that little extra bit so that your stories and opportunities arrive.

  Then, you will write the stories our readers need and we all benefit.

  As a passing note, I’m looking up at the ceiling of this mansion (at least 400 years old) And noticing the gold all over it.

  Here, it looks very nice. In America, it would look horribly gaudy.

  FAN PRICING

  HOW TO MARKET FOR BOOKS YOU LOVE

  Review them so others have your thoughts, tell friends and the dogs of your enemies (because who wants to talk with enemies?)… Enough said ;-)

  Ad Aeternitatem,
