Shaped from the rough farmlands and hills of northeast Ohio and forged from the blood, sweat, and tears of the steel mill workers, the city of Campbell (formerly Coitsville Township and later East Youngstown) had a humble start. With the turn of the 20th century, it was thrust into an economic growth that rivaled the biggest cities in the United States. Measuring only 3.74 square miles, some said Campbell brought in enough revenue that the streets could be lined with gold. The Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company Campbell Works formed in 1900 and brought with it the need for more workers. As immigrants from the surrounding areas came for employment, their families joined them from Europe. Within a few years, Campbell became a culturally diverse city that fed on the revenue from the steel mill and its socioeconomic by-products.
JAN CHILDERS IS BACK Senior Captain William Campbell and Rear Admiral Jan Childers are on the Grand Tour. Eight planets in two years. While Childers' heavy cruiser squadron trains up and drills local CSF forces, Campbell assesses the local intelligence group. Bliss is their fifth stop. They arrive on Bliss just after a hostile incursion occurred at a particularly inopportune time, indicating there may be an espionage ring informing the enemy of the CSF's plans well in advance. Campbell sets out to find and neutralize that espionage ring. They've killed already, and they aren't about to let Bill Campbell put them out of business. But they don't know who and what Bill Campbell really is. For that matter, neither does Jan Childers INTERVIEW WITH RICH WEYAND So Jan Childers is back. We thought her story was finished. Well, in its larger scope, the story was finished with the trilogy, in the first two volumes. This is an episode in her life that the trilogy swept past. This entire book fits between the chapters "The Grand Tour" and "Commanding Officer, Task Force 32" of Childers, the first book in the series. Bill Campbell is the primary character? Yes, the action here centers around Bill Campbell, although Jan Childers is also here for much of it and they have some good scenes together. Tien Jessen, Pavel Nimsky, and Sammy Heyerdahl are all here, too, along with a bunch of new characters. What's the primary thrust? We finally find out what Bill Campbell does for a living. All we've really known until now is that he's in the Intelligence Division, and he has a role in counter-espionage, at least after Kodu. He never talks about his work in the trilogy, and Jan doesn't ask. They both have clearances that do not allow them to tell each other everything. They joke about it in the trilogy. This is on the Grand Tour? Yes. After the Feirman payback, Admiral Stepic sends Jan Childers out on a training mission, to bring a lot of Commonwealth planets up to speed on the Fleet Book of Maneuvers. Birken and Durand, afraid Bill Campbell will take half-retirement rather than endure a two-year separation from Jan, send Campbell out to assess the intelligence operations on whatever planets Jan visits. And there's a problem with Bliss. Yes, hence the title. There's a major problem on Bliss. and Campbell is going to 'fix' it. The need to replace the head of intelligence on Bliss after the Grand Tour is mentioned in the trilogy, and that he retires, but no more than that. Did this write as fast as the other books? Not quite. It took 29 days to write once I had the plot elements sorted out in my head. For 48000+ words, that's a little long. But there's a lot of timing issues here, because you have flight times to take into account, and the timing of Jan's planet leave was already set in Childers. I didn't want any discrepancies between the trilogy and this book. I also had to think about how forensic tools, with which I am very familiar, might work in virtual reality. That was cool, but took time. What about the cover? A friend of mine, Matt Shute, posted a selfie on Facebook a couple years back. It was just such a compelling picture. It has its issues, of focus and lighting, but in a night shot, I thought it would work out, especially in a thumbnail version, which is what sells ebooks. Softening the background keeps the foreground more sharply focused than the background. So it's sort of a night-time selfie of Campbell in Joy. The model is a little young for the character, but it worked for me. The background is a portion of a larger picture of part of Hong Kong. I didn't want a recognizable US city, obviously. I think the result conveys the espionage/counter-espionage nature of the book.
IS SOMEONE TRYING TO KILL MARY RAO? Captain Mary Rao, Jablonka's planetary tactical officer, seems to be under the gun from all angles, but neither the Sigurdsen Base military police nor the counter-intelligence investigations personnel believes that it's anything more than a confluence of accidents. Lieutenant William Campbell of the CSF Intelligence Division believes differently. What he doesn't know is who or why. And if he can't figure it out soon, he could die with her.

The charming city of Campbell sits amid bustling urban neighbors in California's Silicon Valley. For many years known as the Orchard City, Campbell is still very much a small town clinging fiercely to its identity. Benjamin Campbell founded a hay and grain farm on what is now downtown Campbell in 1851. Shrewdly selling off one of his acres for $5 for a railroad depot, Campbell soon subdivided his farm. The resulting town evolved into a rail center for shipping fruit across the continent and around the globe. Campbell Fruit Growers' Union, a large co-operative, sent apricots and prunes to dry yards that were at one time the largest in the world, and canneries like the J.C. Ainsley Packing Company and Geo. E. Hyde & Company became local giants.
