Status Updates: Finally, The Wizard's Cat has been released from his cage. What's Next: The Wizard's CatThe ebook is out. I've send the particulars to the artist for the full wrap cover and only waiting to get the artwork. The internal formatting is done. I'll get it up as soon as I can. The manuscript has been sent to Podium to begin their production process which will take a while (months, not days). Future IshmaelStill no change here. Some days I have trouble focusing even on one thing,...

I've been trying to get the paperback ready but it's a much longer process than the ebook. I suspect many of you already discovered it and I can't hold out any longer. Paper will be available as soon as I get the cover from Alex. Podium already has the manuscript for audio production. I don't have a date from them as yet. Thank you all for waiting so patiently.Full monthly update coming on the 15th. Safe Voyage- N

Status Updates: What's Next: The Wizard's CatSomething shifted. It started last month but really kicked in when the calendar flipped over. I've made significant progress on a first draft, seem to have found some kind of story line, and have been getting solid time at the keyboard every day since August 4th. Fingers crossed it continues. Future IshmaelNo change here. Still hopeful that I'll see them again. Perhaps moreso now that I feel like writing isn't some arcane art that I knew once and...

Maybe a few stanyers down the road. Tanyth FairportUnchanged. Still on the back burner. What I'm Reading: Unfortunately I don't have much new to talk...
