Is clairvoyance a gift or a curse? Imagine getting a glimpse of what the future holds, and ask yourself how you would deal with the burden of this foresight. Is it right to interfere with the pre-ordained? Is it your duty to avert the doom, or will your meddling make matters worse? Is it even possible to change the future? What if those with the power to prevent a disaster disdain your warnings? What if you see what will happen, but have no idea when it will come to pass? Is your vision to be trusted?

Well, I uploaded the book to Amazon. It could take "up to 48 hours" to show up in the store, so I don't know if it will actually be available by Monday. That's okay. I still have the POD to work on. I just wanted to see what it looks like "live" and make sure I could do the process. I had a little trouble with my formatting. Some of the fancy internal links I had hoped to provide didn't show up as links, so I had to remove them. The chapter headings are left-justified instead of centered, and some spacing isn't showing up right. I don't know why, but it's 3:15 am as I write this, so I'll worry about it later. I think the version that's up is legible otherwise, with decent paragraph breaks and chapter headings in larger font.
