Hey, have I got a yarn for you

Hey, you.

psst. Yeah, you.

You like fantasy?

You like politics?

If it existed, would you watch the Westerosi version of The West Wing?

You’re in luck, because that’s what I’m giving away. A long story about a civil war and a government in crisis and the people fighting to keep their nation from falling apart.

The first book is free. It’s right here. I’m happy to share. Follow me on Bluesky @CZEdwards for updates. Read my Author’s Notes for details.

This started as a twitter thread in March of 2018. It remains a case study of all of the failures underlying gun harm.

After his family died, he threatened to kill himself. So the police took his guns.

⬆️ Washington Post article that inspired this. Read it first. 

Let’s start with career: a police officer. He seems like he was as pro-social as a cop can be, but two aspects of personality are drawn to law enforcement: a need for control, and authoritarian thinking. These two traits tend to lead to dysfunctional behavior.
