A Really Reluctant Blogger...

Sorry for the long silence.

And it has been a long silence, over eight months!

As I've said before, the best place to keep up with Ossard news is on the Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Colin-Taber/156306680488 but I will try very hard to get back here much more often.

So, an update on the news:

Ossard's Hope is wrapping up and will be released during 2011, that much is true. Dates are still to be finalised (more so for the Australian retail release). The book should be available on Amazon.com first, and possibly as soon as late February. I will confirm that date very soon.

Kindle/e-books will also become available of both The Fall of Ossard and Ossard's Hope around the same time as Ossard's Hope (the trade paperback) lists on Amazon.com. The actual break in time between paper and e-book should be limited to just a few weeks.

My own and more personal news is varied, but boils down to me being pretty busy with editing and work. I have had two different jobs since I last posted, and there's now a third on the horizon. All of this is keeping me on my toes. Other than that, I surived Christmas and New Year, but did eat far too much turkey and cranberry sauce. A strict regime of salads and running awaits, to start... some time... soon... I hope.

I'm also announcing that on February 1st at 5PM I will be making an appearance at Borders Perth. In said appearance, I will sign books, talk about Ossard and the Unae setting, as well as writing. I may even manage to be funny or charming - but probably not both at the same time.

For now, that's all I got. I promise I'll be back soon.
