Plans, Goals, and Cosby

I have decided to set up something cool with the chronology of the books. On Wings of Rage ends sometime within the first six months of fighting, and Rites of Blood picks up five-six years later, when the fighting is drawing the fuck near earth. After Crimson Dawn comes out, even if there are several instances of remembering battles in that, it still leaves room for an anthology of short stories from the minds and POV's of characters not in the novels, or only fleetingly mentioned, as well as historical stories as well, having to do with Hadri's father, maybe the reasons Joe Killigan is regarded as the best pilot in the galaxy, stories of Major Coffman's thoughts and aspirations, maybe even a short about Colonel Iverson when he was either a Major, or a Lt. there are all kinds of stories to be written, and some or most of them can be ground-based, dealing with something like what michael goes through, or the reason James Moore survived the withdrawal from Tau Ceti(Obsidian Drake squadron blasts the opposition for close ground support) or a time when Hadri has a man named Greg Victor come up to him after he's married to Heaven and living his life away from the hectic lifestyle of wartime CSFC, and thank him for saving his life. he brings the kids over, and the wife, giving hadri a sense of, ok, my life isn't totally fucked up.
or years upon years later, Hadri remeniscing about old war stories with Aunt Chelsea in front of the kids, or with blankets and dogs napping on feet, sitting in front of a fire, or one of Hadri's twenty year old grandsons asking Marcus about him, and what kind of person he was, hadri being fairly closed lipped about his past and dead for a few years at that point.

and now for the cosby.
Last night, we created a demon. Bill Cosbico, a male calico cat that says "Oooh, he's alergic, yasee. I'm gonna make him play with me."
because cats are evil, and they know if your allergic to them, and they want to play with you even more if this is the case.
