Extra, extra!

The news bulletin a lot of people have been waiting for: the pilot copy of AQUAMARINE was in today's mail drop, and it's perfect. No corrections to be made to the layout, cover or content. It'll be online with "buy me" buttons tomorrow. Phew.

It's taken a fair while longer than I'd originally though -- then again, everything does. Someone wise once said, "Everything takes longer and costs more." (I wonder if it might have been Benjamin Franklin who said that? He also said, "Time is money." And Malcolm Forbes must have been in a droll, condescending mood when he went on record with this one: "You want to succeed? Try hard enough." Duh.)

Also worthy of note and apropos of a recent post: Spring has definitely sprung, as witness these guys:



The garden is full of them -- we're being invaded by small furry creatures.

Back to work, guys: THE LORDS OF HARBINDANE await.
