"air conditioning" ? what is this mythical contraption ? i have no idea what you mean (but yes, yesterday it was well over 30. today it was cooler, which makes sense, since i just went grocery shopping and bought a lot of summer food. it never fails). i might stay inside anyway. or go out to café. tomorrow. (it's past midnight now).

when you say "choices" you only mean what order you're going to publish them, right ?

I like the cover, too. Growing up, we had green army men like that (not quite that florescent, though) and all our victories were small ones ...

Yes, and the cafe also appears in Suggested Oddities, if only in a brief mention I'm a massive Joni Mitchell fan, here's few other Joni inspired titles I've done:

A Victim of Typewriters
The Canyon Ladies(this is the begining of a novella about four women who live in a small town in California, each with a very strange story to tell)
A Round For the Freaks and the Soldiers
On the Face of the Conquered Moon (story and collection title)

and too many more... i write a lot, I just hate editing

Oh yes, I should have been more clear. I go on a kind of gut reaction, something inside that says "Now!" very loudly and then I'll just upload. The Song of Insects is missing something at the end, and as yet I don't know what it is, it'll come to me thought. I'm waiting for Halloween for the Mortgage of Ghosts, because, it's a Halloween novel, and The Murder of Shadows is an inverted detective story, so I'll wait till the Luka stuff is out of the way on that one.

This just isn't right. I clicked on the download link and it just downloaded to my computer. Could you please add some geographic restrictions or something. Maybe only every third Canadian should be able to download the ebook.

Thanks!!

I'm working hard with the publishers of my work to put in more restrictions to inconvenience everyone. What I'd really like to see is that you can only read my work under a tree, on a lunar eclipse, wearing a top hat and standing on one leg. Of course, I do this to protect my intellectual copyright. Try copying my stuff standing on one leg!!!!

does it have to be a top hat ? i've got a tea cosy handy... i swear it won't make it any easier to copy though, if that's what you're worried about !

You may wear a tea cozy, but you now have to skip up and down instead of hopping on one leg (don't blame me, it's the only DRM that works nowadays)
