Updates, Requests, and Beta Reads

UPDATES: Almost mid-November. Writing-wise, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. I’ll start with the Bad, which isn’t really very bad.

Bad news?

NaNoWriMo [National Novel Writing Month] counts are down. Not likely to hit 50,000 words in November.
All Is Silencewas requested for consideration by the Phillip K. Dick award administrator, Gordon Van Gelder. Alas, since I released a hardcover version, it does not qualify. Sigh. Nice to be asked.
No review from Publishers Weekly. Bummer.
