Anagnorsis is the next, fast-turnaround project: a selection of short stories, about 32K words total (now with art!). I’m in the process of getting the second of the four horror stories formatted; the third will likely get done tonight, and the fourth will be expanded in the next few days. I will need some volunteers to read the blessed things in the next two weeks, so drop a line in comments if you’re interested. I’m trying to have this all approved by the time virtual Dragon Con comes around; they’re supposed to be doing a virtual dealer’s room, and what the heck, right?
In other news: somehow, the series of calls to my mother that started with my Do you done any spooky-looking woodcuts that I could use for the cover? has turned into her So I’ve done the preliminary sketch for the first story and I’ll get the other three and the cover to you next week. I… I do not understand how this happens. As I said yesterday, at no point did she disagree with me in any way about the limitations of the project; and yet somehow I found myself signing off on those limitations being removed. On the other hand, I didn’t fight too hard after I saw the preliminary sketch.
On the gripping hand; admittedly, it’s no longer going to be a $1.99 book.
I’m game to read with a red pen handy if you think it’d help.

I’m also glad you’re ascribing more value to your efforts.
