New Jim Nelson title in the water

December 22, 2009

Tags: James L. Nelson, George Washington, Rochambeau, Cornwallis, French navy, Yorktown

James L. Nelson just announced that he's finished his 15th book, the rotting bastard. General Washington's Great Gamble is about how the French navy bottled up Cornwallis at Yorktown, ensuring a great victory for Rochambeau and Washington. It won't be out till June, which is my excuse for not reviewing it today.

Rotting bastard, huh? Okay, I'll give you the rotting part. I'm starting to compost sitting in my office chair staring at the monitor. Had all of twelve hours between finishing #15 and starting #16.

Best of luck with the blog!

Har, lad. Just a mix of envy and admiration manifesting itself as a punch on the arm.
