More News, Shameless Plug Alert!

 Hey, I am a working author, and a working author has to sell books!

I am proud to announce my second collaboration with Cannon Publishing, and my first novel. The cover is out and pre-orders are due to begin "soon". Looking forward to the release, and of course, buy the book! 

As for what it's about? Well, it's about America under occupation by a bunch of fantasy races, led by some very sociopathic elves. Needless to say, the Elves are finding out humanity is a) not that much fun to occupy, and b) they will need a lot more Elves and Orcs. 

Isn't she beautiful?

So what does that mean for my writing here and elsewhere? Well, I am becoming more of a pro these days, so while I fully intend to maintain that side, I will be doing what I can to keep things up here and with other projects. I intend to try to keep up my one-post-a-month promise here, I ask you to bear with me though if the deadline's knocking at the door! 

I am very much excited about this though, and who knows, maybe I can convince JF and Lucas to let us Twilight 2000 types try and game this out somehow (though the magic makes the damn Elves and Orcs very bullet resistant).

Mongoose Acquires Twilight: 2000 and 2300AD

The GDW gamers universe has been abuzz for a while with the news that Marc Miller has handed the rights for Traveller over to Mongoose. Well, both 2300AD and Twilight: 2000 have joined the exodus to Mongoose, marking this as the first time all three games have been under the same roof as active licenses since GDW left the scene in 1996.

There are questions, and Mongoose has answers:

Am I very hopeful about this, yes? Mongoose has been a very good steward of Traveller and 2300, and I see no reason for this to change with Twilight 2000. I think they'll make enough room for us fans of the older versions of the game to go our own way, and fill in the blanks while they chart whatever course they choose to.

I'll have a regular post soon, but as it is news, I figured it needed to be posted sooner, rather than later.
