Articles of Interest (Not for Ghosts)

I hope you are continuing to survive out there. Ghosts are not part of my target audience. Why would ghosts care about these articles I found while researching for the next book?

• Anders, C. J. (2020, May 12). Never say you can't survive: how to get through hard times by making up stories. – As I said, this is not a ghost-friendly post.
• Danaher, J. (2019, October 15). Escaping Skinner's box: AI and the new era of techno-superstition. – Audio version available on the site.
• Gibbons, W. (2011, March 20). Why don't hawks fight back? – Older article, still entertaining, not political.
• MC Fire Protection. (2017, October 14). Emergency lighting explained. – It's slightly more complicated than I expected.
• Medic Wiki. (2019). Handcuff injury. – Yes, I am including a date for a wiki article. It's useful to know when the last substantive update was made. When you cite a Collins English Dictionary definition, do you cite the one in the original 1979 edition, cite the edition you're looking at, or throw up your hands and cry, “who can say when this document was published?” Anyway, this article is a practical discussion of what happens when metal presses on the superficial radial nerve in your hand the wrong way. The site is strongly biased against police, so expect some passionate writing.

Also, I'd like to thank those of you who have sent me notes with page numbers where you stopped reading Shieldrunner books. That's interesting and helpful! As someone who drops most books I start without finishing them, I like the idea that your time spent with mine might still have a useful outcome, even if you don't enjoy the whole story.

Just one caveat: I do not recommend sending similar information to authors who have not asked for it. That would be "unsolicited constructive criticism," which is about as welcome as any other unsolicited advice. Happy reading, y'all.
