>Megiddo Galley Proofs

>Well, I just sent off the galley proofs for Megiddo's Shadow, my World War One novel. This is the last stage before the book is published so it's the last time I'll see it. It's kind of like watching your child head off to university. GoodBYE! We'll miss you! Hope the world likes you!
And like any parent who sees their kid walk out the door then immediately cleans up their room (or turns it into a guest room), I immediately cleaned up my desk and files of anything that I needed to inspire/inform/motivate me into writing Megiddo. Now my desk looks ultra clean.

GoodBYE! We'll miss you! HOPE the WORLD likes you!

>adjective that describe rabbit

>I know. I know. An odd blog post. But one of the handy tools provided by my webhost is a chart of the top 20 searches that people use to find my website. And the title to this post is the search "string" that caught my attention. Who is out there looking for an "adjective that describe rabbit?" As you can see podcasts are the #1 reason and if you add all of the searches for my agent you find out...he's (shock) more popular than me!

LOL!

>Monsterology site

>Just a note to let everyone know that the Monsterology website is on a new server. For those who haven't taken a look, please do...it's at http://www.villainology.com

Yep, you guessed it, the next book out this fall is Villainology. I've already risked my life interviewing the villains and Derek has risked his life doing portraits. Billy the Kid was the hardest. He wouldn't sit still and then bet he could part both Derek's and my hair with one bullet.

He did. I still can't get my hair to flip the way it used to. Darn villains!

Cheers,
