All,

The proof arrived from Lulu today. It has a few typographic defects,
but is good enough for this release. I'm going to release it either
today or tomorrow. I'll pass on the URL so you can buy a copy if you'd
like. The URL I sent yesterday shows the cover. The book runs 238
pages. I learned a bit in the process and intend to do a better job
next time I publish. I'll be working to release it on Amazon, and I've
done a bit of grass-roots work to build traffic to the site so I hope
at least a few copies will sell.

There is one caveat. The copyright on the book applies only to this
printed publication of it, and is not meant to impair your individual
rights to publish or otherwise use the material. That's what we
discussed a few years back. I put a good deal of effort into
typsetting and proofing the book, and I designed the cover (though the
underlying image was obtained via a non-exclusive transfer of
copyright as was the text).

Looking good so far, Ben. A helluva lot of work, I'm sure.

I'd be interested in trying to rekindle some work in another edition.
I don't have nearly as much time as a used to, but what are your
thoughts?

I think it might be worth a go. I started a novel based on the
Imperium for NaNoWriMo last November that stalled at 30Kwords that I'd
like to finish. My wife gave me the thumbs up to try to finish it. The
total novel length should be around 100Kwords. I wrote 48 of the 76
"sections", so I'm tracking at about 48kwords for the rough draft.

So, another edition after that might be good.

John seems out of the running, and I'd like to have 3-5 writers.
