Addendum: I've just uploaded "UFN," the fourth chapter of the Nar'eth manga, to Nebari.Net. Check it out, as they say.
It's been an odd and oddly significant day. The bookshelf is assembled (more space for action figures). The signature sheets for the Subterranean Press edition of Low Red Moon arrived via UPS about 5 p.m. and tonight I signed the first 500 or so (I think there are about a thousand). I had a Very Long Conversation with Neil about a whole bunch of things, including Alan Moore's "March of the Sinister Ducks" (he sang a verse for me), the pitfalls of Hollywood, and how to be funny without telling jokes. My editor at Penguin called to tell me that on Thursday I'll be receiving the CEM (copyedited manuscript) of Murder of Angels. There was a neat little write up on Argosy #1 in the Village Voice, with a mention of "Riding the White Bull," the first time (to my knowledge) that my name has appeared in the Voice. Someone in Waycross, Georgia e-mailed to ask if "Waycross" has anything to do with Waycross. It was that sort of a day.
Is the vacation over?
Or is this merely, as I said, a lull?
We'll see. Right now, I'm going to play Ratchet and Clank...
