I fell into the Lawyers in Hell project almost as one falls into hell itself; suddenly, unexpectedly, and incredibly. How I came to know and collaborate with Janet Morris was simple happenstance, if you believe in that sort of thing, or fate, which I am more inclined to accept. I had been leaving comments and referencing quotes on The Sacred Band web site and facebook page and had caught Janets attention. This being her other series of stories and novels that I have loved reading over the years, I was happy to contribute what I could and thrilled to be able to correspond with her.

The Chief Librarian of Hells Law Library was spending a tremendous amount of time and energy trying to track down every tiny crack in the Librarys rock walls. Ever since Erra and the Seven sent a massive flood down the road that ran straight into New Hell, Demetrius of Phalerum had been chasing trickles of nasty, muddy, foul-smelling water (and who knew what else) to find the leaks and plug them until repairs could be made. The moisture threatened the most delicate contents of the Library the ancient scrolls, parchment and papyrus recording laws from antiquity. Stone and clay tablets werent as difficult to protect as papyri, but the modern books were almost as sensitive to dampness as the oldest materials.
Demetrius was having trouble staying ahead of the water because the Library encompassed fourteen entire floors the lowest fourteen of the Hall of Injustice, where the Administration and its myriad bureaucratic departments were located. These particular floors had been chipped out of the solid rock by prisoners held in His Satanic Majestys dungeon, over a period of aeons.

Orientation Day is the first fiction story I ever wrote. I had spent decades writing things for lawyers: letters, memoranda, software use instructions, briefs, etc. I became acquainted with Janet Morris (whose books I had been reading since the 70s) by posting a quote from her book Tempus on my Facebook page and attributing it to her.
She contacted me for a more complete attribution for the quote and we began a correspondence through Facebook.

On Sunday I already talked to Scott Perkins, one of the very interesting people I meet on Facebook and immensly enjoy. In his "triple qualification" as author,
seminar leader and bookseller, I had questioned him on the subject in
the face of the collapse of one of the largest U.S. bookstore chains.
As an author, Scott Perkins is just as interesting to talk to, especially about the "in-topic" of the US-publishing-scene: The changing market and self-publishing.

To describe Scott Perkins is a challenge. He is incredibly versatile (builts masks from leather, is emerging at Renaissance markets as a fool, two weeks later at a Con in steampunk style), and works as a writer and seminar leader at the "TCC Writing & Tutoring Center," a Community Center.
He describes himself as "Optimist. Realist. Cynical idealist." - And all he is. In his "triple qualification" as author, seminar leader and bookseller, we have questioned him on the subject in the face of the collapse of one of the largest U.S. bookstore chains.
