Working…

My agent has sent me the Kindle edition of STARSWARM for proofreading and I would like to have it up and available on Amazon before Christmas, so I am doing that now. I find that formatting is tricky, particularly in that book which uses font types and styles as part of the reader experience. I liked Starswarm a lot and it still holds up, both as a juvenile and for adults. At least I think so.

The kindle edition will have the non-fiction introduction that was dropped in the paperback editions. It should be up in a week or so.

And I am still trying to catch up. It’s raining outside. I’m still thinking about saving the country (well, in a novel, Anvil). And I am getting some work done.

There’s new mail, all interesting.

From an interview by Newt Gingrich in the New York Times.

"I asked the speaker if he believed in space aliens. “It’s mathematically
plausible,” he replied, joking that he hoped a friend who had written about
space-traveling pachyderms was prescient, to speed up Republican
colonization of outer space."
