Hope everyone came through all right...

Sandy split around us; we got a little wind, a little rain, but we get lots worse quite often from passing thunderstorms. I see that south of us it's horrid. Good thoughts to everyone down there and hope everything can be back to normal as soon as possible.

Highlighted in Fiction Affliction on Tor!

As pointed out by muirecan, Phoenix Rising is one of the highlighted releases in the "Fiction Affliction" blog at Tor.com!

Disney Buying LUCASFILM???

Maybe they'll be smart enough to buy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy...
