Quick Update

While you wait for Amazon.com to ship your book, feel free to read the first chapter of RESURRECTION CODE, which I posted at my website.

This would be the "uncorrected proof" version, so any typos you find are very likely NOT in the printed book. Despite myself, I continually check the Amazon.com site to see if they've got books back in stock yet and how my sales rank is fairing. I seemed to have hit a high somewhere in the 20,000 range yesterday, which is awesome. Thank y'all so much for putting in your pre-orders and orders!

Also, Bookscan seems to be tracking my ISBN despite the fact that my publisher is small press. I'll be curious to watch the numbers change (if they do) when the "Big Idea" goes live next Tuesday. I haven't heard anything from Scalzi, so I presume my draft is acceptable.

Gork. (The sound of nervousness catching in my throat.)

I was wondering if I should continue my free Mouse Tuesdays. Obviously, I didn't publish anything last week, but what do you all think? I got sort of invested in my not-supposed-to-be-a-story-story, and it doesn't take that much time for me to push out a 500 word bit once a week.

I also have a funny story I should relate sometime about kuk sool wan. I went to the adult class again last night, and was the only white belt there. The next lowest was a red belt. I felt a little like Po in Kung Fu Panda when he's first at the Jade Temple and facing the Furious Five. Remember the scene with the punching bag? That was me. "Uh, I'm... level zero." :-)

Got to go hit Tate's deadline!
