The following is copied from my Facebook post:
Well! I received a very cool Xmas Pressie today! Chris Benders turned me on to “Saltation,” written by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. It turns out that one character in the novel is named “Commander Ronagy.”
It’s not as if I am vain or anything … but I immediately pounced on the Kindle version to see who I was. Amazingly, I seemed to be a nice sort! At my advanced age, I was pleasantly surprised to see myself Tuckerised. I also bought the British paper book edition which, as it turned out, was the last copy Amazon had for sale. Was I given to vainglory, I might point out that due to its rarity and its use of my name, the book is now worth more!
Order now! Ask for a new paper book release! Convince Lee and Steve to start an 18-volume of “The Commander Ronagy Wars!” Have Karen Gillan starring me in the movie!
Or, perhaps, I am getting carried away.
Seriously, though, thank you, Sharon and Steve, for the egoboo! What a great present! I have started reading it and quite love it.
