We're also talking about it in various comments on my Patreon site, including this post: patreon.com/posts/thank-you-to-129127915

My Patreon subscribers helped me work out various aspects of the story, like Tim Oey, who helped me come up with the title when I was stuck.

It's official! My next book--Gold Dust--comes out Oct 7, 2025. It's about the Olympics in the future and lots of other sf shenanigans. Although it's Book 2 in the Dust Knight series, you needn't have read Book 1 to read this one.

Here is the Amazon link: amazon.com/Gold-Dust-2-Knights/dp/1668072904

Thank you! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy the stories.

Greg, many thanks!

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it. 😀
