Last time, I pointed you to some of Stormbringer's stories. Well, since then, I checked out his ASSTR site, and noticed that there was an entire subdirectory devoted to a series called The Ebony and Ivory Enterprises saga. Stormbringer introduces the series nicely:
The Ebony and Ivory Enterprises saga is a series of stories
revolving around a group of genetically enhanced black men bent
on gaining power and turning the white man's wives and daughters
into sluts through drugs, seduction, and blackmail. The idea came
to me during the writing of "Fresh Off The Bus" where a few bad
men seducing country girls fresh to New York City grew into an
entire organization and conspiracy devoted to converting girls
into sluts. I combined that idea with an unwritten mind-control
story plot about a sexually charged genetic super-soldier and
Solomon King was born.
(from the series description)
There's some good stuff in there, and the more than fifty episodes are not tightly linked, meaning that it's possible to pick them up here and there and read them without getting lost. Although you get more out of it if you read them in order, I presume. (I'm only a quarter of the way through myself.)
Don't let them keep you from posting adjusters #26 early in march :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries. I'm smack in the middle of editing #26.
DeleteI noticed you generally take a couple months to write an episode (from draft to publication). Since you are taking a break from the adjusters, will that but publication of book III later than expected. I write this from being eager to read it.
ReplyDeleteBook III will not be delayed.
DeleteOne advantage with having drafts written a few months before they are published, aside from allowing me to edit installments knowing a bit better what happens three installments further down the road, is that it lets me take short breaks without any disruption in the one-installment-a-month schedule.
Found you randomly googling my name. Thanks for the plugs.
