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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And I am still trying to catch up. It\u2019s raining outside. I\u2019m still thinking about saving the country (well, in a novel, Anvil). And I am getting some work done.<\/p>\n

From an interview by Newt Gingrich in the New York Times.<\/p>\n

"I asked the speaker if he believed in space aliens. \u201cIt\u2019s mathematically
plausible,\u201d 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."<\/p>\n
