Tiff took a deep breath, hesitant, eyes downcast. “Okay. First, you need to know this is all about me, all my problem, not about you,” she said. “You’ve done nothing wrong.”
Errr… Dave read ‘major lie’ all over Tiff. “Yes?” He read ‘made up mind’. He anticipated the bill had come due on all the ‘support’ Tiff gave him after diagnosis terminal. He suspected he would soon hear about ‘necessary eighty hour weeks’ and how she would soon require him to cut back on his business trips.
Why, though, did this feel like he had run into yet another parallel of the DPMJ and chamber music debacles?
Tiff licked her lips. “I didn’t want to talk about this today,” she said. “But since you insist.” She paused again, and looked away. “Dave, you’re right that it’s time for us to end our little war. I want a divorce.”

Author’s Afterword
Thanks to Randy and Margaret Scheers, Michelle and Karl Stembol, Gary and Judy Williams, Alex Farmer, and as always my wife, Marjorie Farmer. Without their help this novel would have never been made.
Cover credit to Shutterstock for the ocean and businessman picture. “Humbugs of the World” is a real book, by P.T.Barnum, and is in the public domain. Originally published in 1855, this book is a real treasure for the literary spelunker. The final chapter on Apollonius of Tyana is well worth the full read.
I am a traditionally published and epublished author, with two published short stories, one in Analog and the other in Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Fantasy Magazine, and the epublished seven book Commander Series (starting with “Once We Were Human”) and 10 other shorter works in the Commander universe.
The story started in “99 Gods: War” continues in “99 Gods: Betrayer”. In addition, if you enjoyed this novel, you may also want to read the companion piece “Tales From The Anime Café Part One”, which contains a short novel, a novella and a novelette about the 99 Gods universe.
In addition, you can find out further information about the background mythos of the 99 Gods trilogy and the Commander Series on http://majortransform.com.
