So writing twice as many articles a week is harder than it looks, but thankfully I have a lot of great contributors willing to volunteer articles. In fact Richard Small, author of Confederate Star Rising, contacted me and will be sending his own response to Chris Nuttall's Musings of an Independent Confederacy. Publication for that guest post is still TBA, but this week you can look forward to tomorrow's New Releases, an interview with Geoffrey Wilson (author of Land of Hope and Glory), a review of A New Birth of Freedom: The Visitor by Robert G. Pielke and much more.
If you look at the left column you might see a new list of links called "Our Favorites". These are links to blogs and sites whose owners have been especially supportive of Weekly Update and its mission. To reward them I have given them greater coverage on this site. So please check out those sites when you get the chance.
Got our first readers from the Åland Islands and Algeria. Welcome!
And now the news...
