As for me, I am now 79 and counting, still living on my little tree farm with my wife of 57 years, still exercising, still living in the past and future, still rebelliously liberal, still writing. I wrote Aliena in February 2013, and Aliena Too in November, with other novels and stories spliced in between. It’s what I do.
This novel was proofread by Scott M. Ryan, who caught about 15 errors I had missed in the first one. I wish I could type without typos, but that is not the nature of a creative writer. Leave perfection to the uncreative.
Readers who want to know more of me are welcome to visit my website www.hipiers.com, where I have background information like a list of all my 165+ published books, a monthly ornery liberal blog-type column, and maintain an ongoing candid survey of electronic publishers and related services to help writers locate the best prospects. There is also my blog site at www.piersanthonyblog.blogspot.com, and a Twitter site for my stories told in Tweets, at www.twitter.com/PiersAnthony. And my email, PiersAnthony@hipiers.com. So you can find me if you really want me, despite my absence at conventions and book signings. In this day of virtuality, who really needs physical encounters, anyway? Just read my books, okay?
This book was completed on November 22, 2013, the sad 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the first president I voted for.
