Chapter Seventeen<\/a> is up.<\/p>\n

I’ve collected about $40 toward Chapter Eighteen so far. Alas, Chapter Eighteen isn’t actually written yet, but I hope it will be by next week.<\/p>\n

I think I should probably warn everyone — the protagonist’s name is likely to change soon. I’ve decided “Vengar” was a bad choice. Haven’t settled on a new name yet, which is why it hasn’t changed yet.<\/p>\n

I got my copies of The Spriggan Mirror<\/em> last week, and have packed up all the ones I’ll be mailing to last year’s donors. Maybe a third of them were mailed out before the three-day New Year’s postal holiday; I hope to get the rest on their way tomorrow or very soon thereafter. This has been an educational experience; I now know what a book weighs, what overseas shipping costs, and so on, and can therefore say this: $25 donated now will get you a finished copy of The Vondish Ambassador<\/em> when it’s ready if you live anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. If you live elsewhere, $30 should cover it.<\/p>\n

I messed up several details; out of about 180 copies packed and mailed, I screwed something up on maybe a dozen. If you were one of those, and got an unsigned book when you’d asked for an autograph, or your book went to your old address, or whatever, I apologize; it was my first time doing this, and there were a few bugs in the system. I hope to do better next time.<\/p>\n

I’m still trying to locate Richard Russ and Robert Allen. (A third missing person has been found.)<\/p>\n

A happy new year to you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
