This is the best Foreword we have ever read. It is witty, on-point, sarcastic, and intelligent. Thank you, Christine Thompson, for this piece of history that still makes us laugh today.
Foreword
If you are looking for well-written, do us both a favor and skip to the book. I am NOT a writer. At the end of June, CG asked me to write a forward for his newest book, Emerald. Three thoughts hit my mind at once:
1) I was honored he asked little old me to do it.
2) His wife may want to think about adjusting his meds because he HAS to be delusional.
3)—wait—what—I do not write—aww crap. This is more or less my fourth attempt. For the first three, I tried to write something inspiring, eloquent, and worded correctly that made sense. After my husband Derek and a couple of close friends read it, quit laughing at me, and reminded me that this kind of s**t is not me at all, I figured I would just put on my big girl panties and write something small.
I welcome you to the Pseudos, where asses need to be kicked, politically correct is about as necessary as your rag on date night, and open and hidden humor is as typical as idiots in a Wal-Mart. This is science fiction, so repeat after me—“there IS science here, there IS science here.” Oh, and big words, some of you get Google Search ready to look up the big words; we will not hold your hand.
If you like the book, drop CG a note. If not, send him a letter with suggestions. He is a cool guy who loves input (Even if it’s from a cute but psycho Canadian welder chick). Now, if you do not like the cussing, insults, and the very warped mind, I am sorry, but that is my entire fault, and I take full responsibility for corrupting Xanthe’s mental processors and adding in those dirty-minded and perverse subroutines in her digital world.
I wish you, the reader, a good laugh and a great story. I want CG to succeed in his upcoming book series and all his others, as they are a fantastic read and a wild ride through a sci-fi version of our past, present, and possible futures. To my friend CG and his lovely wife, may the weather be beautiful, may the doctors pull their heads out of their asses, and most of all, my friend, may the general population not be too stuffy or uptight for our characters. May the books succeed and bring you and your readers happiness and joy with many good stories.
