Chapter Ten<\/a> is posted; I’m actually still a few dollars short, but it’s close enough.<\/p>\n

Chapter Thirteen is written, and has been sent to donors who signed up to receive chapters as they’re written.<\/p>\n

Chapter Fourteen is only about two paragraphs along, as yet.<\/p>\n

In case anyone hasn’t already seen me say this, I have every intention of finishing this novel whether any more money comes in or not, but (a) money will make it go faster, and (b) there may not be a publicly-available edition if I don’t get enough to finish the serial; I may instead do it as a privately-printed limited edition exclusively for the donors. This would royally tick off the publisher at FoxAcre Press<\/a>, who would really like to publish it, so keep Roger happy — send me money!<\/p>\n

In other news, I regret to say that the mass-market paperback of The Vondish Ambassador<\/i><\/a> is not happening any time in the foreseeable future; due to cash-flow problems at the distributor’s end, the Cosmos paperback line has been suspended indefinitely. I believe all the existing titles will stay available, but they aren’t adding new ones.<\/p>\n

If that changes, I’ll let you know.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if Realms of Light<\/i> flops as a serial, this will not mean no further serials.<\/p>\n

One donor asked me some interesting questions about the mechanics of picking up a story after a twenty-year hiatus, and I think that’s something I do want to write about, but I’m not sure when I’ll get to it, and whether it’ll be here or in one of my other blogs.<\/p>\n

I think that’s everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
