G'day all,

Firstly I'd just like to say that the recovery is continuing nicely. I've been working on an exclusive side story for the hardcover release, which has gone slower than my old writing speed, but I finished the first draft literally minutes ago. It's set before the first book and details the first meeting of Rufus, Gary and Farrah.

Barnes & Noble will be doing an early release of the hardcover, a full two months ahead of other venues, so anyone looking to get their hands on the book as soon as possible may want to do their pre-order through them.

Not much else to say, other than I am very happy to have completed some fresh writing. I'm looking to keep that going through December and hope to get fresh chapters coming out in January.
