@en9nhcet I wasnā€™t in Independence Day, but it does look like my hair. I made an oath I wouldnā€™t cut my hair until I finished the book. The audiobook comes January 8th voiced by the narrators who did the Enders Game series audiobooks. I also still need to get the hardcover out. So soon, the crazy hair will be gone. ---

With 108 votes, my book cover ended at #53. I probably could have asked my fans and friends to vote each round, but I didnā€™t expect to win against some authors with big fan bases. It was a bit fun though. ---

I ran my first ad campaign and while Iā€™m still stuck at seven reviews I did just hit bestseller status for a moment. Going to savor this before I fall back down the rankings.

As I watched the trend of celebrity worship and misplaced national priorities intensify, I knew that had to be a story element. That crucial decision is one of the reasons why several plot points of the story were almost prophetic. Itā€™s easier to reflect the truth of our time with a dose of satire.ā€ ---

Another event from my book came true. It was my understanding that you couldnā€™t have low unemployment and low inflation together. That combination happens in my book and itā€™s an economic mystery the main characters have to solve. > **[Powell: Too-Low Inflation a Driving Force Behind Impending Rate Cut](https://moneyandmarkets.com/powell-inflation-impending-rate-cut/)** > > Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is worried that too-low inflation could persist for a while and hopes a rate cut will help raise it. Fifty years of data and the Phillips curve say it shouldnā€™t be possible. Apparently, it can happen and itā€™s happening now. Itā€™s bizarre that the nerdiest subplot from my novel is less fictional than intended. Crazy!
