Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The BΓΆcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

Only Zanine can understand such a design by its creator's native logic. Sarsa, like Cericef and everyone else, can only muddle through a learning process of sights, sounds, and an elusive intuition that's just as likely to get her shocked or start a fire as it is to perform the intended task.

Happy 'That Day'. 16 years ago today, I completed my first novel. In the editing process that followed, many many extraneous 'that's were cut. ha ha

To commemorate this writing holiday, I'll post my favorite line from This Falling Eden, chapter E15, which I'm editing today... [1/4]

Four panel cartoon. First panel has female presenting white person with long dark hair, glasses and a green shirt saying β€œtoday we are going to learn about insurance!”  Second panel has woman talking to the edge of a brown desk, with bubble that reads β€œhey insurance, I am injured and I need some of that money I give you for in case I get injured.” Third panels is the woman sitting at a desk with a nameplate reading β€œinsurance.” She wears a black top hat and a gold necklace with a dollar sign, and piles of bags with dollar signs on them are behind her. The bubble above her head says β€œno.” The fourth panel has the woman back to regular dress saying β€œand that is how insurance works!”

This Falling Tower: The Final Book of This Falling Eden - EGrabow HD The page for This Falling Tower, the final book of This Falling Eden

With covers done up, and some back cover copy written, I've launched pages for the other two books of the trilogy:

www.egrabow.com/rm.php?e=Eden
www.egrabow.com/rm.php?e=Sea
www.egrabow.com/rm.php?e=Tower

Only the pre-existing Eden page will receive many updates in the near future, though.

Work on the "Iridium" covers is complete. These are all prospective until the trilogy is actually published. Eden's is red. Sea's is yellow (the color of the sky and sea in this world). Tower's is blue.

Fascinating: Did you know that the Sun's energy output per cubic meter is only about the same as that of a compost heap? β˜€οΈπŸ‚

About 277 watts per m3

(277 watts per m3 doesn't seem very impressive. But the sheer volume of the Sun generates an immense output.)
