This will have to be a quick one, because things are crazy around here, at the day job, at the writing job, and in life general.

First things first, I'm way behind in responding to emails - sorry 'bout that. I've been working so hard that I haven't had time - but I will respond, I swear.

Second thing - The Central Series short story. Quick version - I planned to release a free short story, as a thank you to my totally awesome fans. Unfortunately, Amazon did away with the ability to sell free books. Since the short story was always meant as a give away - and to avoid screwing with the 99 cent price point, I decided to integrate the short story material into next year's The Far Shores , making that novel extra awesome. I also set in motion another secret plan to reward my loyal readers that will start soon - make sure you are signed up to The Central Series FB page if you want in on it!

Final Thing - What the hell have I been doing? Well, a great deal. I'm doing final polish on the new version of Paranoid Magical Thinking, complete with new cover, revised text, and new illustrations. Should be up (and free, if you bought the original!) in the next couple weeks.

Also, The Night Market is in second-stage edits. A stand alone novel that I wrote which just happens to tie into my 'Cthulhu Noir' series, Unknown Kadath Estates, I think you all really enjoy this one. I know I'm really proud of it.

And yes, I am writing The Far Shores, but that is still an indeterminate ways out. Those novels take a very long time, a great deal of effort, and a whole bunch of editing. So, I can't be firmer than 2013, no matter how much y'all email me to demand it (but I appreciate it anyway).

Alright, back to work, writing, and daily life. Cheers!
