Greetings, folks…

So, what’s new?

We’ve got two books waiting for their forewords and one book waiting for final edit — we know you’re chomping at the bit but we’re waiting on stuff, too!

At long last, Shepherd Moon is now available on Amazon — do us a favor and review, review, review! The Forsaken should also be available shortly once Amazon figures out what to do with two books with different ISBN numbers (at which point the old reviews from the first printing will hopefully be merged with the new book). By all means mention that there are other books out there (hint, hint, Amazon’s a great place to market, not always such a great place to sell…).

Quick word on Star Trek Into Darkness — if you’ve seen it, you’ll know that there’s somebody’s blood that comes in handy at one point in the movie. Mr. Latosa and yours truly occasionally stare each other down over the North American continent saying: “You know, we could kill people off and then bring ’em back with Balor blood.”

I’m happy to say we always resisted the temptation and now if we did it we’d be accused of ripping off the Treksters so Mateo and I can both breathe a sigh of relief that we no longer have to resist our more evil temptations (or at least one of them).

I wish I could be like Stan Lee and have a catchy line at the end of my missives like Excelsior! But wasn’t that Sulu’s ship, too? Man, I hate it when universes overlap. It just gets so messy. Or was I talking about the packing material?

Stopping.

Wonderful news! I’m guessing that the former two are…

The Original Self & The Whispering Sea

… and that the latter one is…

Black Doves.

Am I right? & if I am, do I get one of David Kano’s Cookies? 😉

Thank you so much for the update BL.

I’m curious about but not quite following: “two books with different ISBN”. Same novel has two different ISBNs? I assume two different novels always each have a different ISBN as a matter of course. Just curious what I’m missing or forgetting here.

Sounds like…. Staring at a tempting reset button located somewhere in the middle of the continent…. “Just leave it there.” “Leave it.” Then… “Oh, okay, now we can just toss it in the Mississippi River.”
:whistle:

(Sorry, the staring across a continent metaphor was hard to resist. :))
