A pale boomer comes down to Florida looking for a brown soul to steal, and he immediately begins thinking of retirement. It is an old story. Over the past few years I have recruited younger writers to link with this site towards this day. Currently there languishes 78 books that remain to see print yet, including many who have been complete since 2018 and before. I have engaged 9 individuals to publish these books. Two have done so. The most prolific publisher has informed me that putting my history in print is out of the question, as it will get them de-platformed. So, I have to learn the technology and begin to publisher the future worst-selling history books of all time. This will require eye time. That means much writing will go undone. My eye has not improved nearly enough to return to prolific writing. Further, respiratory health continues in decline, which brings more pressure to bear from my King, Alexander, to complete his history, which I will not find a publisher for. It will come to this retard to put those books in print. That is a huge brain drain and much eye time for this old ape.

The contingency plans are below:

1.) Plantation America will be wrapped up in the following months, incomplete, ready to print:

a.) July, Planting America

b.) August, In That Naked Land

c.) September, Of A Planted Land

d.) October, Rise of A Notion

2.) Patreon will be canceled the last day of 2026.

3.) Jameslafond.com will have another schedule reduction beginning August 1:

Monday = nonfiction,

Wednesday = history,

Friday = fiction

4.) My final coaching engagement is from June 29 thru July 5. After this I will no longer carry gear and will limit coaching to those fighters I have dealt with. This will give me some more energy and eye activity for writing, as talking vibrates the nerve in my head of which one branch ends in the ocipital port of the bad eye.

5.) I will no longer do remote recordings, as these again blow up the eye.

6.) I am writing a training manual for bare knuckle boxing as compelled by Guru Rick and Alex, to be complete end of Summer.

7.) November, Aegis

8.) December, publish print books

This all will hopefully permit me the time to put those 78 unpublished books in print between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The subject matter of the books are:

-8 ancient history books

-7 American history books

-2 biographies

-2 literary books

-8 harm city books that are assigned to Casting Darts, I will publish, and not advertise, as proofs and mail to Jethro to use as galleys. I look forward to these being coauthored as second editions with Jethro as he is doing so sharply with On Combat

-18 novels, assigned to Casting Darts will be published as proofs, not advertised, with galleys sent to Jethro for proper publishing

-23 books assigned to an infant roommate named Wiggles I will publish on the platform set up by his mum

I am happy to announce that we have 4 game books to be published by a new publisher.

The Broken Dance will finally be in print after 14 years through Niche Nook, in hardback.

Also, T-B Wright and Montius are joining the print fray with MRE, Moonstruck Tales, Skinnies! and Of The Naked Lands.

As for the reluctance to publish my history and the willingness to put into print those same truths in a more entertaining format, I agree, after the dictum of Aristotle. I should bear the stigmata of the heretic decreed by the American allergy to actual history in preference to mono-mythology with my own imprint and learn how to use the POD technology.

Stigmatic Books is intended as my final offense to Modernity.

Thank you all again.
