I see a bunch of new faces out there. feel free to introduce yourselves and to comment, ask questions, whatever. I'm too swamped to read any more blogs, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate having you around.
I'm contemplating a long boring infodump on exposition. Or possibly a taut, assertive infodump on exposition. It depends on how much narrative authority I can muster while revising. Is there anything else you'd like me to talk about?

On Amazon - in the Product Details - they usually have a link to the *series* if a book is in one - and the Casey books don't. Go ruffle someone to fix that! I was pulling some series links for my library that is a tad lacking and - no Casey link!
Actually I thought you might mention it to your publisher to mention to them... but... ya know... I'm ignorant about some things.

Mmmm.... canapes.
*sigh* Except to say, one day, far in the future, when 'mullosks have developed into higher beings' (as Garth Nix would say) I shall write fantasy and science-fiction, perhaps as you do.
Until that day happens however, I will have to make do with poetry...
