Status Update - 2026

First off all the easy stuff: Word count

Grenademan vs the Lich: 18K

Armor of Stone: 36K

The King is Dead: 9.8K

I have also started two new projects: An adaptation of Poetry of Elmer Gantry called "The Women of Gantry" and dusted off and restarted "I Asherah" which is likely to exceed "I, Odysseus" in length covering prehistory; old testament, new testament, the middle ages and "revelations" and the aftermath.   She is a powerful figure and clearly has a lot to say.

The bigger update is once I have a full day "day job" I will contact the artist I've already paid a down payment on "The Queen in Blue" for the kickstarter and will publish there.

Great things are coming.

Amazon Ask a Book

 Amazon is feeding my IP in violation of the TOS I signed when I agreed to publish into an AI that lets people ask LLM about my property in a way I cannot vet; as a result of this decision, all Red Anvil Publshing proprties have since been removed from the Amazon website.  While I had a plan to stop selling anything NEW there; my existing books have also been removed because I will not sell with a company that profits from the theft of my work or the work of anyone else.

Watch this space for new places my works can be sold.

[Poem] Ya Say Ya Are a Rebel

 by Emmit Other

Ya say you are a rebel

You know Zuckerberg is evil

In your company

And theil mkes his panopticon

And musk takes Doge 

And makes the government gone

But you're still on X

That is true

Cause they are all

Sniffing glue
