Swordgate: Blink and You'll Miss it

As I wrote earlier today, the original Solomon's Secret website for Solomon's Secret and Commodus's Secret became unavailable at the same time J. Hutton Pulitzer emailed me to complain that I had incorrectly stated that the book(s) had been on "pre-order" for over two years. While I found that that website was up and running two years ago, I do not have any evidence that the books were actually for sale then. I did present evidence, however, that the first book of the pair had been for sale for over a year (since at least November of 2014).

Since that post, the links to the sales videos have now become "private."

I'm really not sure how I'm supposed to pre-order my autographed book copies with all these roadblocks being thrown up between me and the hidden history and forbidden truth which I so desperately crave.  What a buzzkill. At least the Treasure Force cartoons are still available (hurry and watch . . . they may vanish soon).

To continue with the literary allusion theme of the day, I give you a woodcut engraving of Tom Sawyer tricking Ben Rogers into whitewashing Aunt Polly's fence (chapter two of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer). Whitewashing the fence is work, of course, and Tom is glad to figure out a way to get someone else to do it.  I've added the sword just for effect.
