Beyond the rim
Oatley\'s book is finally out!
Well, it's taken a while, but it's finally happened!
As some of you may recall, I have spent the better part of 2 years writing a book, which meant my self-enforced exile from this wonderful internet community for a good while.
In any event, it is finally available, and as my signature line so proudly states, it is called:
"Getting It Right... Or Why The World Is So Monumentallly Screwed: The Manipulation Of History"
The book is a light-hearted exploration of the history of some of the issues that plague and confound our world today. It is not a proper scholarly history book, but basically takes a large overview of many of the ancient and medieval causes that have led to certain current circumstances, and then pokes fun at them.
I have tried to make it generally accessible and funny so that you don't have to be a history major to follow it. And it has a Babylon 5 quote in it!
You can currently order it from Lulu.com, and here is the link:

It will be available from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble within a month (I hope). I sent a very early draft copy of the book to KoshFan, so if you want an opinion about the book, he would be the best person to comment.
I have taken the JMS approach to writing a book - I am hoping that it will provoke barfights after people have read it. So if you want to buy it, have an enjoyable read, marvel at my obvious half-deranged mind, and contribute to my retirement nest egg, please go right ahead.
It is available for $18.95 US dollars!
