So is the latest section of HTQ4's "Ginger" story from Dark Blue Monstropolis. Find that here.

And I'm converting Next Wave as fast as possible. The first fifteen pages are up, plus the cover.

Both the sections of my story and HTQ4's "Ginger Gets a New Life" are up in the new WordPress format. In fact, Chapter 2.2 of "Ginger" is now up, and is the latest content on there.

The RSS feed is here. I'll make it a little more obvious how to find that on the site proper.

Now we create the blog where I'll be posting my latest novel in installments. And the plates keep spinning.

P.S. For those of you still disgusting with the latest Spider-Man books, the latest Adventures of Li'l Squitch are here and here. And we're very grateful to Eye of Something Odd for playing the role of Li'l Squitch. Something Odd isn't forgotten, just dealing with shitstorms. You know how it goes.

That was Cat's reaction. And essentially…yes. Which means I must write faster because every single damn day the future catches up to me a little more.

"Dude, are you aware your fly is open?"

Then after an awkward moment and a zip up, they ask me:

"What the hell is Heavy Tech, anyway?"

Well, one way to think about it is to be able to handle a lot more variables. A lot more.

There's something just terribly unnerving and cool about seeing this bit of a SF story you're working on suddenly announced for 2008.
