After a monster morning of burying myself in the awesomeness that is WOOL 4, I have surfaced to bring news. The latest in this exciting series should be complete right around the first of the year. That doesn’t mean all you random readers should stop emailing to pester me for a release date; in truth, those constant proddings spur me to action. So keep it up, you impatient kids!
Any other news? Oh, yeah, the length of these stories. What the hell is wrong with you people? I’m charging a buck for each entry. Think of them as episodes of Lost (Only better. I actually know where the fuck this story is heading). Did you slam down your remote when each episode ended in a nice cliffhanger? What did you do while the credits rolled for The Empire Strikes Back? Did you cry in your cold popcorn because the greatest film in a stellar franchise ended with Han Solo in Carbonite, Luke injured, the knowledge of his father’s identity left hanging? Hell no! You wept with joy at having been told an excellent story and with the knowledge that more was to come!
So do what sensible readers are doing: They are writing awesome reviews and reading the books for a second or third time. Stop being a bunch of pansies. I’m practically giving away some of the best entertainment this side of Lady Gaga’s butt-cheeks and for less than you pay for a shot of espresso.
And now, some lunch. Later: more writing.

P.S. WOOL 4 will be right around 30,000 words, or a third the length of a full novel. Written in a damn month, people. Agonized over. Revised a half dozen times. Rewritten. Edited. A nice cover made. All for under a buck. So just enjoy. And write more glowing reviews! I subsist on them, damnit.
