Note from the curator
Status: Update
I've had no time to post anything recently, and that'll likely continue until the end of this month. The problem is that a British version of my second book, Hippo Eats Dwarf, will be coming out this year, but it'll be a significantly revised version. I have to get the manuscript to the publisher by February 1, and I still have a lot of work left to do on it. The next two weeks are going to be busy.When I have to choose between blogging and doing something that actually makes some money, the money, in the short term, usually wins. In the long term, of course, my non-commercial instincts always kick in sooner or later, and I return to my poverty-making pursuits.
Listed in chronological order. Newest comments at the end.

How DARE you do something that feeds your family when hundreds--nay, THOUSANDS--of us clamor for free entertainment from you?

And we also expect a thorough side-by-side analysis of the differences between the U.S. and U.K. editions... when you retire, maybe.

Jake -- it should be released in August.

Maybe CMG (nods head slyly) could pick up a bit of the slack in the meantime,,,,,, not a bad pinch hitter, if memory serves...

Translating a book from American to British sounds like it may be a hoax. But, hurry back.

In the spirit of our outgoing president, I embrace my embedded URL "fiascos."

Kidding aside, that screw-up's been bugging me since it happened.
Turns out it was a "curly quotation mark vs. straight quotation mark" thing. Stupid HTML.

In the words of Maxwell Smart:
"The old "curly quotation mark vs. straight quotation mark" trick... that's the second time I've fallen for that this month"

I was just saying that over my shoe phone earlier today.

I will be happy to provide a side-by-side analysis of the the American versus the British versions of the book... if someone would send me a copy of the British version when it comes out.

Tru, I'll be happy to provide you with the British-ised version... if someone will provide me the round-trip airfare to fly over there and pick up a copy when it comes out.
