Dear friends and followers,

As I said last update, this one’s a bit late. I hope you won’t hold it against me. I’m sure we’re all very busy, so let’s get right to the news.

First of all, the third cheque to Chez Doris was written and delivered this morning. Not a stellar amount, I’m afraid, but one hopes the upcoming month will do better.

Secondly, we have a second Peterkin Investigates Interactive Fiction game to go with the novel: "Point Blank Blank", in which it turns out that some of you (and your octopus friends too) may have been around for a bit longer than might be expected....

And thirdly ... well, thirdly, what else is new? I’ve been away for a week. I’ve also been a little remiss in checking out the shelves at Inkshares....

1) "Our Family’s Elephant", by Christopher A. Michaels. A perfectly charming children’s story about a pocket-sized elephant who may or may not exist. I think your inner child is bound to fall in love.

The new G&S contest has a pretty broad category, and a few rules tweaks. It looks like a bunch of people have jumped onto the contest wagon, and I’m not sure where to even begin, now. I’ll think of something; in the meantime, browse and see if anything catches your eye ... keep reading. Have fun.
