I would’ve never guessed mucus! Now that I think about it, I’m not sure I’ve seen that word too much in fiction either. I have no idea why.

Against the Grain was my first published novel. Thank you for reading it. Down to earth sounds about right!

Mike,

Thank you for reading! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the novels.

I’m intrigued by this word. I have no idea what it might be. I write about some controversial topics, so feel free to message me the word, so it’s not out in the world without context. I’m interested.

I recently finished the first draft of 2050: Enemies of the State (Book 4). I believe a February release is more realistic, but I have to be conservative because Amazon gets mad if I move preorder dates backward.

Thanks again,

Phil

P.S.- Before I hit submit, I had a thought on the word. Was it agorist?

Wow, you’re a fast reader! I’m happy you’re finding correlations to today. There’s so much to write about in regard to US & world politics and culture and economics, not to mention the trends in energy and resources. I find myself leaving many things out just to tell a coherent and entertaining story.

If you’re reading this, the free E-book is officially over, but I do still have a few free promo codes for the audiobook on Audible.com and Audible.UK. Feel free to email me anytime to request a free audiobook.

Mike,

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the story!

A few years ago, if I wrote a similar headline in one of my stories, my readers would probably have thought I was ridiculous.

It’s interesting how language has become weaponized. So many people are being “canceled” for saying the wrong thing or even not saying the right thing. I think it’s more about power than it is the actual words.

Thank you, Scott, Steve, and Nicky! I hope y’all enjoy the story.

You’re welcome Lia and Gerrit! I wish Audible served other countries. The Ebook is free in the Spanish Amazon store though.

Update: I’ve given away 11 promo codes to listen to 2050: Psycho Island for FREE on Audible.com. I still have 14 left for those in the US.

For those in the UK, I have TONS of codes for Audible.UK. For some reason Audible gives me twice the codes in the UK as the US.

Please don’t feel bashful about asking for a promo code. My email: Phil AT PhilWBooks.com

Thanks, Darren! I started writing this in 2018. So much has happened in such a short time. After watching the book trailer, Adam Taggert told me I should consider changing the title to 2025. Haha.

Thanks, Mike. I appreciate your perspective. 50 million people is an interesting number. I read somewhere that the carrying capacity of the earth in a healthy state is around 1 billion people. I’d have to do some research and factor in a mulititude of environmental, geopolitical, and socioeconomic events to arrive at some number less than that. Who knows, 50 million might be close. This book will require a TON of research.
