Just a quick note to let folks know that this blog has not yet been fully abandoned. There is of course a rousing chapter tomorrow in the “An Orc for All Seasons” book, but right now the focus is on the development of book four in this series. It is all falling apart into place quite nicely, and a lot of things that feel unresolved in this story (and the next, if we’re honest) will be wrapped up so tight that every plot hole you have found will be sealed within an inch of its life.  There might end up being more posted today about the Royal Bureaucratic Council, but only because it is fun to imagine a functioning government.
