Book Availability: Print-On-Demand

If you've ever wondered what all the abbreviations and acronyms writers throw about mean, here's a good one for you:  POD = print on demand.  Instead of a publisher printing a 'run' of thousands of books and sending them to bookstores, a POD book is only printed if someone orders it, thus avoiding the horrific waste stream of unwanted books flooding our landfills or hopefully being recycled.

I have set up my books with CreateSpace, Amazon's print-on-demand publishing platform, for those who prefer print copies to ebooks.  CreateSpace does not have a central 'author' area, so you must go to each book individually:

Dignity:  https://www.createspace.com/4526888

Majesty:  https://www.createspace.com/4531497

Fealty:  https://www.createspace.com/4531505

Royalty:  https://www.createspace.com/4552220

Dynasty:  https://www.createspace.com/4559046

Loyalty:  https://www.createspace.com/4559052

Evan's Ladies:  https://www.createspace.com/4559054

Nobility:  https://www.createspace.com/4559056

I have also added my works to OmniLit / AllRomance;  your best bet is to search for Eva Caye as an author:  http://www.omnilit.com/

And, as always, I have my works at Amazon and Smashwords.  Here are my author page and series page:

Morality should be out in 2014; it's taking so long because I am researching nuclear radiation topics such as depleted uranium and the Fukushima disaster, and frequently falling into depressive states as a result.  I do not plan to go further with this series, though I do have two prequels in the works.  Neither are sci fi romances, though they have plenty of sex...!

Enter the Goddess is a science fiction novel with considerable sexuality, though it is not a romance.  Set on Corona Segundus, Leah Marie Fischer discovers the scientists who established the colony threw social mores out the window when deciding upon the rules, so she learns to work around them, and then some.

Undying Dawn is a science fiction novel featuring Kyan Sinclair, who along with Joshua Edwards has to decide how and with whom to colonize their new planet.  Although romance matters to him, the science fiction overwhelmingly supports the travails he encounters when he dreams really big.

Thanks to all my readers!  Please consider dropping me a line, leaving a review, and telling your friends about the To Be Sinclair series!

Dead People Don't Panic

Fukushima Daiichi is currently invisible.  No major news program will report on it, because the Gum'ment does not want a 'panic', no, not even to fill the 'FEMA concentration camps' with protesters, as all the Tea Baggers claim.

By the time the true extent of the Fukushima Daiichi Disaster is generally well-known, it will be way too late to panic.  Currently, 98% of the northern Pacific is dead or dying, radioactive rain and snow disgrace St. Louis, Missouri, and they have barely begun to deal with the disaster.

Everything up to this point has been mitigation -- lessening the impact of the disaster.  When you see a current photo of the reactors, you will notice over 1000 white tanks holding extremely radioactive water.  Those tanks were slapped together with bolts, not welds, because they couldn't take the time to do it right.  The water in those tanks is from the desperate attempts to keep the core cool, and there is nothing we can do about the water leaking into cracks in the ground.

No, the big issue they must deal with is the core.  Would you care to bet on whether penny-pinching Tepco can remove 1,500 fuel rods that are 660 lbs. and 15 feet long, under water so they do not explode in air, without breaking them?  The original disaster is bad enough, but to think it could get orders of magnitude worse in an instant sickens me.

And the worst of all:  we will be dealing with this for millennia.  When the scope of effects starts warping our entire way of life, what can we do?  Sue Tepco?  It will have already spent itself into bankruptcy for this.  Sue the entirety of Japan, whose people will be dying or fleeing?  What good will that do?

Sick people don't panic, though, so let's all keep quiet about the hand of death erasing us within 10-15 years off the face of North America, while our land and water are poisoned for thousands of years.  Chernobyl is a toddler pooping his pants compared to the most deadly epidemic of dysentery we will ever see called Fukushima.  And all for what?  Cheap electricity.

I'm not going to rant about capitalistic greed, nor about arrogant scientists playing with nuclear radiation as if it were controlled.  I just want clean water, clean food, clean land; what I will get is radioactive water, no more seafood, and wasteland.  I just want to write and sell my books, spending my merry time and money on unpolluted, safe food, having as much fun as I can until the Big Hunger and then the Big Die-Off begins.

There is a way: they can encase the entire area in concrete.  But where will a cash-strapped Tepco find hundreds of millions of tons of concrete?  If the nations of the world do not wise up and start sending Japan concrete to bury their sin, the North American continent will die, simple as that.  Depend on a company who fouled things up this bad to fix something even worse, WHILE people are suing them, or forget money and do the right thing?  The last time anyone 'did the right thing' for no money was Jonas Salk, so I'm not putting my money on 'the world'.

I wish the U.S. luck on deciding who they will give 14 million doses of potassium iodide to, though, ordered the first of this year.  Will it be 700,000 people for 20 days, the size of a regular dosage pack?  And what if those people need it for a year?  Will it be a thousand people for the rest of their lives?  Who will be the decision-makers?  Shall we make it a lottery to put Hunger Games to shame, or shall we select politicians who will rule over themselves alone?   Or, shall we do something sensible like find the top 5,000 researchers in soil remediation for radiation and set them to work?

Maybe that's why we've been bombarded with conspiracy theories these past few decades.  Make us cynical of real problems, so we will slouch back with a shrug and say, "Gotta die of somethin'."  Is it a conspiracy theory if the truth is known but no one cares to do anything about it, not even listen to it on the news?

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.  Space brethren, would you please pick me up and take me somewhere far, far away?
