Well, hello there my dear readers. Yes, a long gap it has been but rest assured - I shall be resolved to update this wee string of word bundles on a more regular basis.

Just back from Eastern Europe, a strange experience and an eye-opening one regarding the consequences of the fall of the Soviet Union and the degrading effects of neo-liberal capitalism on the former republics. Not a pretty sight.

The British Eastercon is on the horizon but I dont really have the time to devote to it as I have several projects of varying sizes to deal with (short stories etc), as well as looking forward to possibly getting proofs of Shadowmasque (just lurve that cover) which is due out in June, just in time for Worldcon at which your `umble awfur will be attending.

That`s all for now, but more shall be forthcoming in a week or so regarding short stories, and perhaps some extracts from this or that.

Keep doing it!
