On the topic of great books, when can we get a hold of your 3rd book about space nazis getting their asses kicked? Could use some more nazi losing stories. I'm not above pestering whomever needs to be bugged.
Funny, you should ask Sam. I just did a post over in my Patreon page about this today. It has been over 14 months since I submitted the manuscript for that book and I just got the editorial note back last week. I will turn in the second draft in about a month or so, but by then there is no chance it will be released this year because all of the northern summer releases are already in production. So we are looking at mid 2026. Nearly 3 1/2 years after The Shattered Skies. This is one of the main reasons I do so much self publishing these days. I just write the damn book and bring it out.
This goes someways to explaining an earlier comment by you... "the hell that is the publishing industry at the moment" is my favourite flavour of ice cream".
If you're after time travelling shenanigans there's also Howard Wetsman's Just in Time series, starting with the House on Constantinople. He's a alumni of JB's writing masterclass Patreon crew:
The final sentence of my review of TMOT - It's an intriguing premise that turns into something of a mindfuck as the time travel elements turn on themselves.
I'd like to hear from someone who's watched both The Agency and the series it was derived from: Le Bureau. The latter managed to hit the intersection of the Venn Diagram that is my and my partner's viewing interests, which is not unheard of but is uncommon enough.
There was a big spat about whether or not The Ministry of Time was a rip-off of the Spanish TV series of the same name. Author says no, but she would say that, wouldn't she? I liked the Spanish series - I was in Madrid a few years ago, tracked down the Ministry of Time building, took some photos. The building was a bit ordinary, only interesting because it was so familiar.
No surprises but The Ministry of Time is on my To_be_read_ziggurat. How does it compare with the other wildly popular time traveling romance 'This Is How You Lose the Time War' ? Has anyone asked Trigun superfan Bigolas Dickolas Wolfwood what they thought of The Ministry of Time?

Awwwww yiss.
Well shit, the hits keep coming this year. Was hoping for a win.
A sorta-win is that you can skip ahead to the future of The Agency and watch the original French series.

Nailed it.

I think I snaffled The Ministry of Time as soon as it hit the bookshelves last year.
