Book is finally up, as of 18 Nov 2025 00:07 EST. Yay. See link in next post.
Note: Amazon KDP has really screwed the pooch on this release. The e-book is still sitting in “Publishing” status, as it has been since Friday. When it actually goes “Live” — if ever — I will update this page again. — 17 Nov 2025 17:30 EST
I’m The Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules a Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone! — Volume 1. Publishing right now on Amazon KDP. (I’ll put up a link later when it finishes going through the clusterfuck known as Amazon Publishing.)
[Update: The clusterfuck continues, it’s now 4PM on 11/15. Oy. And continues to continue at 4PM on 11/16.]
This is what I’ve been working on for the last bit of a while. Eventually there will be three volumes and it’s all one novel — like what the Japanese do with light novels. Each volume will be about 50,000 words, so the finished product will be the equivalent of a 150,000 word novel.
I hesitate to say it’s part of the Timelines universe. Technically it is, but it’s 20,000 years in the future of that universe. So the world it builds on is the world long after the Darkness Fleet is destroyed, and also long after a series of wars between human worlds over how they will be governed going forward. The answer for most of the past 20,000 years has been an Empire that is primarily a clearinghouse for disputes between the worlds, with an Emperor who is legally in charge of it all, but who leaves most of the work to a professional bureaucracy.
At any rate I had a lot of fun writing it and the folks who watched it grow from an idea to a finished book generally seem to have thought well of it, and I hope my other readers do, as well.
