Well, down here at Mount Doom, we are preparing to celebrate the only Holy Day in the Abyss--Festivus, of Course.

We've got a great Festivus Pole erected in the main hall in the volcano basin and we are preparing to Air our Grievances.

Oddly, there will be far fewer this year than most in the last several thousand years. But oh well! It's Festivus!

Hope all of you have a Happy and Joyous Festivus--enjoy your kvetching and all the other joys of Festivus!

Well probably when the book comes out lol. I imagine you can't gift a book still in pre order.

Yep.

Since I don't celebrate your New Year, although I have to fly T-A-G home from the bar...I will be up and as soon as it's available for order in the Abyss on Jan 1, I will be gifting them.

There are a lot of small things that Amazon could do to make things better for authors and readers, but...they don't. Things like complimentary copies from authors, pre-order gifting for everyone. I actually think that pre-order gifting would be a great idea across the board.

Imagine being able to send an email to a friend and say "look on your kindle...I dropped a brand new book on it!"

The snail mail physicals will be strapped to the snail backs around the same time, maybe a day later and then it's however long it takes the snail to traverse the globe. It's rather odd, that Abyssal snails are one of the few creatures in the Abyss to not have wings....

If we could have had the book out by Christmas, my good buddy Krampus could have delivered them. He's out and about that night. Of course, he may have collected one of your siblings as payment for delivery, but I figure that would be a small price to pay for fine quality reading material.

Pretty much his same surly self.

X-glargh on the other hand? oooh...don't really advise being around that, particularly if you are an overweight elf. Eeesh.

Let's just say he's got some "issues" with some bloke named Nick.

You're welcome.

Just waiting for T-A-G to get formatting issue fully resolved. Hopefully latest will do it.

Yay!
