Well now.

In the past couple of weeks, I have pretty much had All The Jobs come in. Mongoose have provided a list of layout deadlines that includes a LOT of projects, Amber have commissioned another book too. And I got an interesting message from a contact in the TV sector as well. Not sure where that one might lead.

I've also parted company with the SDF after 16 years or so. Given the circumstances a rant is tempting, but I'm trying not to go there. Prior contacts from that world are welcome to contact me about it, in which case I may venture an opinion or two.

At the present time I'm working on The Traveller Companion for Mongoose plus another project for them. I've just finished the first draft of a small book for Amber, so once the editorial comments come back I'll finish that off.

Today's project was a fairly radical reorganisation of the website and some updates. Also the removal of some material that is no longer relevant since my departure from the Self Defence Federation.

It looks like I managed to go an entire year without posting to my so-called blog.

Oh well.

In that year I did create the kindle editions as planned, and took some of them down again to publish through Antimony Sun instead. Not sure how much of a success that constitutes.....

    So this is where I rant, vent and peeve about stuff. What can possibly go wrong there?
