Real quick, though, I just wanted to say that Sword & Laser, sponsors of the Inkshares contest I am participating in, just wrapped up an interview of me and the other top two contenders, Matthew Isaac Sobin and Craig Munro. Please CLICK HERE to see their video on youtube.

It was a lot of fun! I didn't get to say all I wanted to about my book, but it's my brain's fault... You know how it is: you have all these things pre-loaded but then forget how to speak a coherent language once someone asks what's on your mind. Well, all my brain's failures considered, I think I spoke all right. And I think Matt and Craig spoke just as well if not better. I'm excited now more than ever before to get my hands on their books. (And, Craig, if you're reading this, even though I said I'd wait til the last day on the show, I say now to heck with that! In the spirit of camaraderie I'll be buying "Bones of the Past" right after this, my friend. Your description of your characters - that Carver, though, right! - has made me a fan.)

It was a blast. I'm having a great time with this whole Inkshares thing, and I think that mindset comes through on these airwaves. Everything I said about this place, about these authors, it's all true. All of it.

And as ever, thank you so very much for following this project. For reading this update. And for your pre-order of "The Animal in Man."
